Breast augmentation with fat grafting - The benefits of using your own fat

This article has been reviewed and approved by Chief Medical Officer and Aesthetic Surgeon Dr. Ali Bagher on May 1, 2025.

There are several reasons why you may want to undergo breast augmentation with fat grafting. As we age, our skin loses collagen, which is needed for the skin to feel firm and elastic. The breasts also change if we gain or lose weight, as well as after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Undergoing breast augmentation with fat grafting is not only an aesthetic choice, but can also be a step towards better self-esteem. We at Estetikcentrum are here to guide you through the whole process.

One of the main advantages of fat grafting is that you actually use your own body fat. Using your own fat reduces the risk of complications or rejection, which can happen when traditional implants are used. At the same time, you get the same great results and a permanent solution. Many people who choose this method also experience an improvement in their self-esteem, as the result is more discreet and natural than when using silicone implants.

Only natural materials

When you are about to undergo breast augmentation, it is not unusual to feel both nervousness and excitement, but there is no need to worry about rejection. With this method, you don't have to worry about possible reactions to foreign material that can occur with traditional implants. Fat grafting uses your own fat, which means your body is more likely to accept it, reducing the risk of complications and making recovery easier and faster.

4 major benefits - breast augmentation with fat grafting

It is not difficult to understand why fat grafting has become such an appreciated and popular choice. More and more people are looking for gentler and more natural ways to shape their body and face, where their own body material can be used instead of foreign material. In fat grafting for breast augmentation, fat is taken from an area of your body where you have excess, such as your stomach, thighs or hips. The fat is centrifuged and injected into the breasts to create natural volume increase.

Natural results

We've talked a lot about the natural results of fat grafting for breast augmentation, but this is where the biggest benefit of the procedure lies. For starters, you won't have to deal with implants that can be felt when you're lying on your stomach or that can give your breasts that "implant look". Secondly, natural fat will also feel natural. To the touch, you will not feel any difference (except for an increased volume). 

Permanent solution

Few people realize that breast augmentation with fat grafting is actually a permanent solution. The fat cells injected into the breasts will live on in their new area, while leaving you with no fat cells in the area from which they were removed. So you can slim your waist and get a full bust at the same time - permanently.

About 20-30% of the fat injected remains and survives.

Gentle solution with shorter recovery

Unlike traditional breast implants, fat grafting is a more gentle method. This applies not only to the surgical technique itself, but also to the scars and healing process. We always make the scars as discreet and minimal as possible for an even more natural result. The healing process is also less painful for many, and most people can return to their everyday lives after 1-2 weeks. 

Less risk of complications

Because you are using your own fat instead of foreign material, the risk of complications is much lower than with traditional breast surgery. However, it is important to remember that it is still a surgical procedure and you will need to both rest and follow aftercare instructions. We ensure that you receive the safest care before, during and after your surgery.

Summary

Breast augmentation with fat grafting offers several advantages, including the use of your own body fat, which reduces the risk of complications and rejection. The result will be natural in both look and feel, and because the fat cells live on in the new area, you get a permanent solution.
