Fat transfer to the breast, also known as lipomodelling, lipofilling, natural breast enhancement or fat grafting breast enlargement, is becoming an increasingly popular in London when it comes to alternatives to traditional breast augmentation with implants.
The procedure starts with liposuction to extract fat, typically from areas like the thighs or abdomen. The fat undergoes purification to eliminate any impurities before it is inserted into the breasts.
This form of augmentation is most beneficial for patients seeking a modest increase in breast size, typically around one cup size.
Fat transfer is usually carried out under general anaesthetic as a day case procedure in London, allowing you to return home on the same day, provided you have someone available to assist you for the initial 24 hours.
If you are based far away from London, an overnight stay may be required.
Enhancing the size and contour of your breasts can turn embarrassment into self-confidence and body satisfaction, helping you feel assured and fabulous.

Complications with fat grafting are fortunately extremely rare. The complications include infection, bruising, contour abnormalities and numbness from liposuction. The biggest issue to consider is that the amount of fat that works (or takes) is variable and hence the outcome can be unpredictable. Ordinarily around 30-50% of the fat that is transferred melts away, and this depends on the area that is being fat grafted. Patients should be aware that they may require a second fat transfer procedure to achieve the volume that they desire.
