What is fat transfer breast augmentation? Fuller breasts without implants

Dr. Markelov understands that many women prefer to remain as natural-looking as possible. For those who want only a relatively small increase in cup size and to avoid implants, he recommends breast augmentation performed using fat transfer. Highlights include:

  • Slightly increased breast size 
  • All natural; no foreign elements introduced to the body
  • Evens out imperfections in a subtle way

Fat transfer breast augmentation uses fat that is gently extracted from your own body, purified, and then injected to increase breast fullness or slightly increase cup size. The body’s own fat is extremely safe to use and perfect for those who have excess donor fat they would like to repurpose. This procedure requires advanced training and precision, making Dr. Markelov an ideal choice.

What can I expect from a fat transfer breast augmentation in Tampa?

A breast augmentation performed via fat transfer can be done under local anesthesia. During the procedure, Dr. Markelov will remove fat from an area of the body that has excess fatty tissue through liposuction. The fat is then purified and carefully injected into the breasts through small pokes. 

This procedure is not as invasive as a standard breast augmentation, and the results last a lifetime. The majority of the fat that is harvested and transferred remains in the breast area, while a small percentage is eventually reabsorbed into the body.

Ideal candidates

Dr. Markelov has a detailed discussion with each patient to determine whether a breast augmentation done via fat transfer can meet their expectations, always educating them on the size they can expect. He only moves forward if he feels the procedure will help the patient look the way they want. This procedure is for the patient who:

  • Has fully developed breasts
  • Is in good general health 
  • Wants slightly bigger breasts
  • Wants to smooth out dents or other small imperfections in the breasts
  • Wants to avoid implants
