Benefits of Breast Fat Transfer
Natural Results
Since this surgery uses your own body fat, the results look and feel more natural than implants. The breasts will have a softer texture and a more realistic appearance.
Permanent Results
Results with fat transfer are permanent, unlike temporary fillers or implants that need maintenance or replacement over time.
2-for-1
Fat is taken from areas with stubborn fat, like your tummy, thighs, or love handles, to help sculpt and shape your body while also giving your breasts a boost. Win-win!
Consultation
Your journey begins with a one-on-one chat with your Younique provider. They’ll get to know your goals, concerns, and medical history, ensuring they understand exactly what you’re looking for. If breast fat transfer is the perfect fit for you, they’ll schedule your surgery and guide you through all the prep details, making everything smooth and simple!
Procedure
During the procedure, your provider will start by using liposuction to remove fat from areas like your stomach or thighs. Your provider will then purify the fat and gently inject it into your breasts to add volume and shape. The surgery takes a few hours from start to finish and your provider performs it under local anesthesia with sedation.
Recovery
After your fat transfer breast augmentation, you can expect some swelling and bruising in both the breast and the areas where we removed fat. Most people take about a week to rest, but you’ll be able to get back to light activities fairly soon. It’s best to avoid strenuous physical activity for a few weeks, and your provider will be there to guide you through post-op care to make sure your recovery goes smoothly.

When is breast fat transfer a better choice for breast augmentation?
Breast fat transfer is a great choice for augmentation in certain situations. It’s often the better option if you:
- Want a Natural Look and Feel: Since it uses your own body fat, the results tend to look and feel more natural compared to implants.
- Desire a Subtle Enhancement: If you’re looking for a moderate increase in volume (typically up to one or two cup sizes), fat transfer can provide a more subtle, organic result.
- Have Sufficient Donor Fat: You’ll need enough fat in areas like the stomach, thighs, or flanks to be harvested for the procedure. If you have excess fat in these areas, fat transfer may be a good fit.
- Are Concerned About Implants: If you’re not comfortable with the idea of synthetic implants, fat transfer is a great alternative, as it eliminates the need for foreign materials.
- Already Have Implants: If you already have breast implants but want a more natural feel or appearance, fat transfer can help soften the tissue around the implants and improve their shape.
If you’re seeking a significant increase in breast size, traditional implants may be a more suitable option. A consultation with one of our skilled providers can help determine the best approach based on your goals and body.
How long will my augmentation last?
Breast augmentation with fat transfer usually provides long-lasting results, though how long it lasts can vary. Some of the injected fat will be naturally absorbed by your body, but the fat that sticks around will be permanent. Typically, around 50-70% of the transferred fat stays for the long haul.
In most cases, the results last for years, but things like aging, weight changes, and lifestyle can affect how they look over time. Some people may need a touch-up procedure later on, especially if they experience significant weight loss or changes in their body shape.
Overall, breast fat transfer in Oxnard offers a more permanent, natural look compared to implants. Most patients enjoy their results for years with little maintenance.
