Breast augmentation procedures are the most popular cosmetic surgery of recent times and continue to increase in popularity among ladies wishing to improve their body image and confidence.

Making the decision to undergo surgery is a huge and carefully thought out one. The traditional surgical procedures of inserting a carefully chosen implant that is perfect for your shape, size and body frame will provide reliable and great results, however, it is not necessarily for everyone. Some of our ladies feel that the idea of an implant is perhaps more than they need, or are worried about scaring and possible long uncomfortable recovery times.

There is an alternative, for those considering a ‘natural’ boob enhancement. Performed by removing your own body fat and transferring it to your breasts to create a fuller, firmer shaped breast, without the size of implants.

Fat Transfer Surgery


Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation


Using liposuction to remove fat from one area of the body; areas targeted for fat removal are usually the abdomen, bottom, thighs or hips. The fat is then filtered and concentrated before being re-inserted into the breast area.   The natural boob job is not as frequently carried out as the implant method breast augmentation, but that said, it really does have many benefits and we are seeing some wonderful results from our specialist Mr Siddiqui.

A great option for our ladies who really don’t want to have implant placement surgery and are looking for a smaller, less noticeable result. Using your own fat to create the fuller shape rather than an implant, you may feel that your breast augmentation has a more natural look; and of course, they will feel like natural breasts to the touch.
This procedure is better suited to you if you are hoping for smaller, less dramatic enhancement of your breasts.

If you have an excess of fat in any other areas of your body, you are a good candidate for fat transfer breast augmentation. Such a natural way to move your unwanted fat to a place you would prefer it be in your body.
If you have recently undergone a lumpectomy, then relocation of a small amount of fat could be used to fill the area where the breast tissue has been removed. On a similar note, we see ladies who feel self-conscious with varying breast sizes, both that are not symmetrical or even.  Fat can be relocated to your breasts to correct any differences between your breast shape or size and create a more even look.

The natural boob job creates a subtle, gentle look to your breast enhancement, creating results without adding an implant to your body – not suitable for ladies looking for a dramatic increase in size.

Are there any downsides?

Whilst it might temptingly feel like potentially a less invasive option than traditional implant augmentation surgery, there are a few things to take into consideration.

Fat is removed from your body by Liposuction. This procedure itself carries some risks and points for you to consider. Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery procedure carried out under general anaesthetic. Initially after surgery, you may notice some discomfort and it is common to experience some swelling and bruising to the area where the fat has been removed; this will steadily disappear over a period of time.

As the swelling and inflammation ease some lumpiness and deep bruising may still be visible; in some cases, it may take six to twelve weeks for the swelling to completely settle and the full effect of the liposuction can be seen.  You will need to wear a compression bandage to help maintain pressure to the area, stop any bleeding, supress swelling and helps keep the new body contours created during surgery. Liposuction is not a pain-free procedure and you will go through the recovery process for this, along with the fat transfer breast augmentation; at least six to eight weeks.

You can trust that we will be with you every step of the way, providing continual help, support, advice and pain-relief when you need it. Your recovery will be smooth if you take time to let your body recover and rest; not returning to work for at least two weeks. For all patients, it is important to avoid any overly strenuous activity for 10-12 weeks and that you start all activity post-surgery gently.

Purely because the fat removed is a natural product, results can be less predictable. The transferred fat may not produce the results you were hoping for, it may not settle in exactly the preferred area and the sizing can be less predictable. Sometimes, there isn’t enough fat available to transfer to the breast areas, obviously this is something we would discuss with you before during your complimentary consultation.

Following the procedure, some of the fat will not survive after being re-injected into the breast area, this can alter your results; possibly leaving areas with a bumpy appearance. Fat can also, over time, reabsorb into the body, so you may need to repeat the procedure in the future.
