To make a breast augmentation is a personal decision and there is actually more than one way to do it. One method that is becoming increasingly popular (and which we at Estetikcentrum in Malmö have long experience with) is fat grafting breast augmentation. This means using your own fat to create a fuller bust. That said, it means no plastic, no implants, just your own body.
But how does it actually work and what are the advantages compared to traditional implants? Here we go through everything you need to know about this natural method!
Gentle enlargement with natural results
At a breast augmentation with fat grafting unwanted fat is taken from parts of the body where you have excess fat and then transferred to the breasts. Most commonly, we take fat from the stomach, upper arms, thighs or hips, but variations can occur. Everything is done during the same operation and the result is often very soft and natural.
Approximately 20-30% of the fat that is transplanted remains in the body, so sometimes it may be necessary to repeat the procedure to get the desired effect.
Simply put, you get two effects in one. You get fuller, more defined breasts, while your body contours improve as excess fat is removed. Win win, right?
Unlike implants, this method is less dramatic. The result is not as “hard”, but all the more harmonious. Many people appreciate the feeling of having a change close to the body that does not feel artificial, neither to look at nor to touch.
Why you should choose fat grafting
En breast augmentation with own fat comes with many benefits and we at Estetikcentrum are proud to be able to offer this solution as an alternative. As previously mentioned, fat augmentation will give a more natural look and feel, but you will also have smaller scars and experience less pain after your surgery.
Since we use your own fat, the risk of complications is also reduced, as no foreign material can be rejected. We recommend this option for anyone who wants a more natural and discreet change, who wants to correct asymmetry or unevenness, and who wants a faster recovery!
Try Body-Jet at Esteikcentrum
At Estetikcentrum we use a very advanced technique called Body-Jet to gently remove and re-introduce the fat cells. This increases the chances that the cells will survive and provide a nice and lasting result for longer, while at the same time you get incisions that are as small as 2-4 mm. Once they have healed, they will therefore be barely visible to the eye.
It is important to know that not everyone has enough body fat for this to be an option, especially if you are very thin or trained. Therefore, we always start with a careful consultation where we go through your goals, conditions and possibilities.
