Breast lipofilling: how to increase the size of your breasts without implants

With the various controversies over the last decade, many patients started to refrain from the placement of breast implants to increase the size of their breasts. Although the monitoring and control of implants has been drastically reformed and implant placement techniques have evolved, breast augmentation by prosthesis is not the only solution. Indeed, for a moderate increase of the breasts (to gain one to two sizes), the breast augmentation by lipofilling is an innovative, effective and durable solution.

In addition, breast lipofilling can improve the tone of the skin of the breasts, creating a lifting effect.

The fat injected into the breasts is the fat taken from another part of the patient's body. This is the double effect of lipofilling: to increase the size of the breasts and refine the silhouette, by taking fat from fat deposits of the patients who want to have a breast lipostructure.

And to extract the fat from the abdomen, knees or thighs, the practitioner will use liposuction, or lipoaspiration. Most often, this liposuction is performed at the level of the saddlebags or belly.

The surgeon makes fine incisions within the natural folds of the skin, before inserting small cannulas with rounded and blunt ends, directly in the area presenting an excess of fat to reinject in the breasts. This fat will be sucked by a liposuction machine.

The fat removed can not be reinjected as it is. It must be treated and processed. Therefore, the practitioner will wash, clean the fat, pass it through the sieve and remove all the most fibrous fat cells, so as liquefy and thin the fat to be injected. A finer fat allows a more precise lipofilling.

This fat is then centrifuged and evenly distributed in the breasts using very fine cannulas.

Whatever the patient request may be, the practitioner does not inject more than 200 to 250 cubic centimeters of fat per breast. This limitation optimizes the chances of success of the graft.

At the end of the procedure, the surgeon closes the incisions with resorbable threads and places a dressing and a compression bra.

Breast lipofilling is performed as an outpatient under general anesthesia. This means there is no need for the patient to spend the night at the clinic.

It takes between 3 and 6 months to see the final result of breast lipofilling. This result is stable and long lasting. However, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and a stable weight.

Breast lipofilling can also be combined with PRP injections. Platelet rich plasma improves fat grafting. There is also a natural push-up effect and the breasts are more rounded and firmer.

This procedure has an increasing success. Patients who underwent breast lipofilling are very satisfied with the result. In addition, another advantage of lipofilling is that it allows reshaping of the silhouette through liposuction.
