Implants are typically considered to add
volume to the breasts. However, newer and innovative methods are emerging and
thriving, and they are expected to become more prevalent in 2020. One of these
is breast fat graft, an
alternative to implants. The process involves using unnecessary fat from the
abdomen or thigh to be transplanted to your breasts. This way, you can achieve
more volume and have natural looking breasts without worrying about your body
rejecting any foreign object, like silicone implants.
Breast fat graft may be the answer to
sagging breasts that had lost their form and elasticity as you age or when specific
changes occurred to your bodies, like pregnancy, weight loss, and
breastfeeding. It may be better than the conventional way of transferring fat
to the breast, too, as the traditional method can damage the fat cell due to
the physical stimulus when the fat is being extracted. When that happens, cell
compatibility is less likely to occur. Thus, reputable cosmetic surgeons use the
Harvest-jet2 fat transfer method to the breast to minimize fat cell damage.
Water Jet is a proven effective method for collecting the fat cells, with a
double filter to get rid of fibrous tissue and oil, which can reduce the
efficacy of grafting.
If you are the right candidate for breast fat graft,
the cosmetic surgeon will tailor the procedure according to your needs and
objectives. The procedure is done while you are under local anesthesia, with
sedation, so you do not have to worry about feeling anything. Surgery spans
from one and a half to two hours, but you do not have to stay in the hospital.
Consider consulting with a cosmetic surgeon to learn more and explore
before-and-after pictures to see if the procedure is right for you.
