Am I a Good Candidate?
Breast Lift with Fat Grafting is appropriate for patients who want to improve the appearance of their breasts. Healthy patients with realistic goals are ideal candidates. Dr. Hadaegh will determine if you are a good candidate during your consultation. This will be based on your goals, overall health, medical history, and a thorough physical examination. Good candidates are typically those who are not pregnant or nursing and have no active infections or serious health conditions. You may not be a good candidate if you have active breast cancer or unrealistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure.
Your Breast Lift with Fat Grafting Consultation
To determine which breast characteristics are a good match for your body, you’ll first need to come in for a consultation with Dr. Hadaegh. Besides evaluating your medical history and examining your breasts, he will also take your aesthetic goals into account.
Preparing for Breast Lift with Fat Grafting surgery
To prepare for your breast lift with fat grafting surgery, you need to have a consultation with Dr. Hadaegh. During your consultation with Dr. Hadaegh, he will review your medical history, including any previous surgeries or procedures, and discuss all medications you are taking, such as NSAIDs and blood thinners, which can increase bleeding risks. He will thoroughly examine your breasts and discuss your goals to create a personalized treatment plan for the breast lift with fat grafting procedure, addressing any questions or concerns. In the days leading up to surgery, Dr. Hadaegh may recommend discontinuing certain medications and avoiding tobacco and alcohol to minimize risks and promote a smooth recovery. It is also important to arrange for someone to accompany you to and from the hospital, as you will not be able to drive yourself home. Proper preparation and adherence to these guidelines are crucial for a safe recovery and the best possible outcome.
The Procedure
The breast lift with fat grafting procedure at Aesthetic Plastic Surgery North Shore combines a mastopexy with natural fat transfer to enhance breast shape, volume, and position. Dr. Hadaegh begins by making incisions to lift and reshape the breasts, removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple and areola as needed. This is followed by harvesting fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs through liposuction, purifying it, and injecting it into the breasts to add volume and contour. The result is a more youthful and natural-looking enhancement using the patient’s own fat for a softer, organic feel. The procedure typically takes several hours, and patients can usually return home the same day with detailed post-operative care instructions for a smooth recovery.
A breast lift with fat grafting is a cosmetic surgical procedure that combines two techniques to enhance the appearance of the breasts. It involves lifting and reshaping sagging breasts while adding volume using the patient’s own fat. Here’s a breakdown of the two main components:
- Breast Lift (Mastopexy): This part of the procedure addresses sagging or drooping breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding breast tissue. The goal is to lift the breasts to a higher, more youthful position and improve their shape. It can also reposition the nipple and areola if needed.
- Fat Grafting (Fat Transfer): In this step, fat is harvested from other parts of the patient’s body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, through liposuction. The collected fat is then purified and carefully injected into the breasts to increase volume and enhance shape. This natural method of augmentation uses the patient’s own fat cells, providing a subtle and natural enhancement without the use of implants.
Together, these techniques can rejuvenate the appearance of the breasts, providing a lifted, fuller, and more youthful look. This procedure is ideal for individuals looking for natural results and those who prefer not to use synthetic implants. Fat grafting to the breast is a natural alternative to placing implants, focusing on defining breast fullness rather than augmenting the breasts to a larger size.
