What Is a Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?
Fat transfer breast augmentation is an option to enhance the size and shape of your breasts without breast implants. This advanced cosmetic breast procedure involves taking fat from other parts of your body through lipo plastic surgery and injecting that fat into your breasts to increase their size and symmetry. Breast fat transfer is an alternative to traditional breast augmentation, which involves the use of saline or silicone or gummy bear implants.
If you feel a one-cup size increase to your breasts would improve your appearance, visit Dr. David Shokrian at Millennial Plastic Surgery in Midtown Manhattan. One of the best breast fat transfer surgeons, he’s helped many women through a wide range of breast enhancement procedures at his state-of-the-art plastic surgery practice.

What Are the Benefits of Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?
If you want nicely sculpted breasts that aren’t more than one cup larger than what you currently have, fat transfer surgery may be a good option for you. You may decide to have this advanced form of breast augmentation for many reasons because the procedure provides:
- A natural alternative to improve the size and shape of your breasts
- Improvements to your body proportions by enhancing your breast and cleavage
- An opportunity to reshape your body by removing excess stubborn fat from other areas

Do I Qualify for a Breast Augmentation Fat Transfer?
A breast augmentation fat transfer procedure is effective for many types of women who have different aesthetic needs. To determine if you’re a good candidate for this procedure, your doctor performs a comprehensive assessment during your initial consultation. Factors that make you a good candidate for the procedure include:
- Age. You must be at least 18 years old.
- Overall health. You should be in good general health.
- Expectations. You must have realistic expectations.
- Sufficient body fat. Your doctor checks if you have enough excess body fat to transfer to your breasts.
- Breast cancer treatments. You should not be undergoing active breast cancer treatment. Your surgeon will advise if and when fat transfer is appropriate after treatment
- Pregnancy. You should not be pregnant or breastfeeding
- Previous implant complications. If you’ve experienced complications with breast implants, fat transfer may be an option for you.
- Lifestyle. Breast fat transfer works best if you don’t smoke. If you do, prepare to quit for a few weeks before and after the procedure.

What Happens During Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?
Fat transfer breast augmentation enhances your breast shape and size without implants. The procedure also reduces fat in other parts of your body. This is an outpatient procedure, meaning you recuperate at home. The main steps in the procedure include:
- Blueprint plan. After an assessment, your plastic surgeon marks the areas to harvest fat from and the injection sites on your breasts. The best areas for fat harvesting include your:
- Inner thighs
- Outer hips
- Love handles
- Abdomen or flanks
- Back
- Arms
- Anesthesia. You’re usually given local anesthesia on the identified treatment areas and a sedative, although general anesthesia is an option.
- Fat harvesting. Your plastic surgeon makes small incisions in the donor area to harvest the fat needed for your breast augmentation procedure.
- Fat concentration. The plastic surgery team refines and concentrates the fat, removing any impurities, such as blood or water.
- Fat transfer. Using a special syringe, the plastic surgeon injects the fat concentrate into the tissue layers of your breasts. Your doctor often marks multiple tiny entrances in the lower fold of your breast and around your areola.
- Dressing. Your doctor dresses the incisions of the donor site and wraps your breasts to promote healing.
- Observation. The medical team monitors you until you’re cleared to leave. You need someone to drive you home.
Your fat transfer to breasts procedure takes three to four hours, depending on the amount of fat harvested. Your New York City cosmetic breast surgeon uses the latest medical technology for improved safety and success. For some patients, AlloClae™ technology may be recommended to enhance fat survival and deliver smoother, longer-lasting results. This innovative option combines advanced processing with natural fat transfer techniques to optimize your breast augmentation outcome.

What Can I Expect after Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?
Recovery starts immediately after the procedure. While the final results take about six months to appear as the transferred fat cells settle in your breasts, you notice an immediate difference in their size. Once the fat has settled, the results are long-lasting and don’t require special care. After the procedure, you can expect:
- Pain and soreness.
- Surgical bra.
- Rest.
- Medications.
- Loose clothing.
- Follow-up appointments.
Pain and soreness.
You may feel some discomfort, swelling, and bruising in both your breasts and the areas where the fat was harvested. Avoid touching or rubbing the treated areas for at least a week.
Surgical bra.
Your surgeon may recommend wearing a surgical or soft support bra after the procedure. Follow their instructions on how long to wear it, and avoid underwires or tight, restrictive bras until you are cleared.
Rest.
Rest and avoid strenuous physical activity for the first few days after the procedure. You can likely return to work and normal activities after about a week, but wait for your surgeon’s approval before resuming exercise.
Medications.
You can manage discomfort with the pain medication your surgeon recommends or prescribes. Take any prescribed medications exactly as directed, and avoid drugs that may increase bruising unless your surgeon approves them.
Loose clothing.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that does not put pressure on your breasts. Swelling and bruising should subside within a few weeks, and any numbness or tingling usually resolves on its own. You can expect to see the full results within six to 12 months.
Follow-up appointments.
Before you leave, you make an appointment with your plastic surgeon to review your recovery and monitor your results.
Dr. Shokrian at Millennial Plastic Surgery is available during your recovery. If you notice excessive bleeding, swelling, pain or an infection, call the practice immediately. Expect your breasts to shrink a little after the breast fat transfer, both from decreasing swelling and from fat absorption, which sometimes occurs.
Your surgeon lets you know what you can start eating again, but most people go back to eating regularly after surgery. Drink plenty of fluids unless otherwise told not to by your doctor. Upset stomachs are common after any surgery so stick with a neutral diet if you begin to experience nausea with food like chicken, rice, bananas and tea.
Truly exceeded my expectations with their exceptional service.
What’s the Cost of Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?
The cost of fat transfer breast augmentation varies depending on your treatment plan. Factors that affect the cost of the procedure include:
- Your location
- The expertise of your surgeon
- The extent of the fat transfer and the number of areas treated with liposuction
- Anesthesia and facility fees
- Aftercare, including a surgical bra and prescribed medication
Fat transfer breast augmentation is an elective cosmetic procedure, so health insurance generally does not cover it.
