Breast augmentation with fat grafting - How it works and why it's popular

This article has been reviewed and approved by Chief Medical Officer and Aesthetic Surgeon Dr. Ali Bagher on July 17, 2025.

Do you want fuller breasts without implants? Then breast augmentation with fat grafting is a natural and increasingly popular option. This is one of our favorite methods, which involves using the body's own fat and moving it to a place where it can do more good. The result is a smoother and more natural-looking breast augmentation without sharp lines and foreign material.

But what makes this method so popular and how does it actually work?

We tell you here.

How breast enlargement with fat works

Using your own fat is a natural and gentle way to change and reshape your body. The procedure starts by removing fat from an area where you have a little more than you want. Many people choose areas such as hips, stomach or thighs, but together we will agree on what suits you best. With us you will find the very modern and effective Body-jet technology, which makes it possible to pull out fat cells and keep them alive.

Once the fat is collected, it is purified and then gently injected into the breasts using a thin needle. This means there are no incisions, no scars and no implants. You'll have a shape that feels like your own, and is both proportionate and supple. We shape the breasts according to your wishes and with a focus on balance, not exaggeration.

Why many people choose this particular method

Fat grafting to enlarge the breasts is very popular and it is not difficult to understand why. This method is suitable for those who want a more subtle increase in volume (around 0.5 to 1 cup size) while removing fat from another area. Many people also appreciate the fact that no implants are used, which means that the body does not have to adapt in the same way. 

Since a small percentage of the fat remains, it is always possible to do the operation more than once to get the desired volume.

Another advantage is that the recovery is experienced as milder than with traditional breast surgery. Because we don't place anything behind muscle or glandular tissue, you avoid much of the discomfort that can occur after a classic breast augmentation. Most people are back to their everyday lives within a few days.

Not just breasts - revitalize your face

Even if you are interested in breast augmentation, it is worth knowing that the same method is also used to restore volume and softness to the face. This is also something you can get help with here at Estetikcentrum in Malmö. For example, with facial fat grafting, we can fill out sunken cheeks, reduce deep wrinkles or give more shape to the lips. For those who want to work with several areas at the same time, it is a great opportunity to create balance in a natural way.
