Combining Breast Implants with

Fat Transfer

Composite breast augmentation involves using both implants and a fat graft to

enhance breast size and contour. The implant supplies most of the volume and

the fat graft is used to conceal it. The procedure delicately adjusts the size and

shape of the breasts to increase cleavage and fullness. Also called lipoimplant

augmentation, this combination technique may be performed to:

Improve existing implants

Correct breast deformities

Achieve maximum cleavage and fullness

Address tuberous breasts

Improve overall symmetry

How is Lipoimplant Augmentation performed?

Implants options that patients can choose from include saline, silicone and gummy

bear. The implants are placed under the chest muscle. Then excess fat removed

from the donor body areas through liposuction is carefully injected over the implants.

The result is breasts with a more natural look and feel as well as improved cleavage.

Donor sites for the fat transfer procedure include the abdomen, waist, thighs or

flanks. Before the fat is injected, it is processed to ensure maximum survival.

During the initial consultation, the plastic surgeon evaluates patient goals so as to be

able to develop a customized treatment plan. The use of a 3D imaging system such

as VECTRA 3D and AXIS 3D helps candidates to visualize the possible outcome of the

procedure which in turn will help them to take an informed decision. This technology

allows the surgeon to plan the surgical procedure to suit the needs of the patient.

Minor swelling, soreness and bruising in the surgical site is quite typical. The patient

may be advised to wear a compression garment to allow support for and positioning

of the implants. Medication may be prescribed to relieve pain. For smooth recovery,

it is important that patients strictly follow the surgeon’s instructions on post-surgical

care. Strenuous activities should be avoided for some time after the surgery. Most

patients return to their normal activities within a week or two after the procedure.

As in the case of any surgical procedure, selecting the right plastic surgeon and the

plastic surgery practice is necessary for safe and effective treatment. In Manhattan,

composite breast augmentation is provided at leading plastic surgery facilities. To

equipment and standard safety measures to ensure patient safety and comfort. At a

reliable practice, patients can be confident of receiving end-to-end care, including

dedicated follow-up until complete recovery.
