Procedure for breast augmentation with autologous fat at the Plastethics Clinic

We clarify all questions and the complete course of treatment with our patients in advance during a detailed consultationIt must be clarified, among other things, whether there are any pre-existing conditions or sensitivities that speak against the anesthesia or the procedure in general. In any case, the breast must be examined for possible cancer - a mammogram before and one year after the procedure is therefore mandatory.

The operation takes place in several steps:

fat removal (liposuction):

  • Gentle water jet-assisted liposuction for a high survival rate of fat cells.
  • Simultaneous body contouring through liposuction on the abdomen, hips or thighs.
  • Minimally invasive technique – only small scars (approx. 3 mm) remain.

Fat processing:

  • The removed fat is cleaned and processed in a special lipocollector.
  • The gentle method preserves the fat cells in their natural structure.

Fat transplantation into the breast:

  • The purified fat is injected into the breast using a fine cannula.
  • The glandular tissue remains untouched, so the ability to breastfeed is preserved.
  • Depending on the desired size, two procedures are usually necessary to achieve the best possible result

Risks and Disadvantages of Breast Augmentation with Autologous Fat

  • Fettabbau: Some of the injected fat can be reabsorbed by the body, which is why a second treatment may be necessary.
  • Limited volume increase: A maximum of one cup size is possible – for larger changes, implants are the better choice.
  • Minor calcifications: Calcifications occasionally occur, but are usually inconspicuous.
  • General surgical risks: swelling, bruising, infections or uneven fat distribution are possible.

aftercare and healing

  • wearing one sports bra for 6 weeks on the suctioned areas of the body.
  • Swelling and minor bruising are normal but will subside quickly.
  • No exercise, sauna or diets for at least 6-8 weeks to make it easier for the fat cells to grow

Autologous fat is your own tissue and not a foreign body. The procedure is minimally invasive, meaning there are no cuts or scars. The healing time is shorter than with implant surgery. It can be combined with contour-correcting liposuction.
