As a board-certified plastic surgeon in Richmond, I’m excited to share insights about fat transfer, one of the most innovative approaches to breast enhancement.

This technique allows us to use your own natural tissue to enhance your breasts, offering beautiful, natural-looking results without implants.

Recently, I completed a tummy tuck with fat transfer breast augmentation that perfectly demonstrates the potential of this technique. Using the fat we removed during the tummy tuck, we were able to enhance the patient’s breasts naturally.

How Fat Transfer Works for Natural Breast Augmentation

The process involves three main steps:

  1. Harvesting: We begin by removing fat from areas where you have excess⁠— typically the abdomen, flanks, or thighs⁠—using liposuction techniques.
  2. Purification: Using advanced technology,, we carefully process your fat to remove impurities and ensure the highest-quality tissue for transfer.
  3. Strategic placement: The purified fat is then carefully injected into the breasts using specialized techniques that help ensure optimal blood supply and long-term survival of the transferred fat.

What are the Benefits of Fat Transfer?

Natural breast enhancement through fat transfer offers several unique advantages:

  • Natural results: Since we’re using your own tissue, the results look and feel completely natural. Your enhanced breasts will move and respond just like natural breast tissue.
  • Dual benefits: When combined with procedures like liposuction or tummy tuck, you benefit from improved contours in both the donor areas and your breasts.
  • No implants needed: For patients who prefer not to have implants, fat transfer, which uses one’s own tissue, provides a completely natural alternative.

The Process of Natural Breast Augmentation

At Reddy Plastic Surgery, we use state-of-the-art technology to optimize fat survival. The vibrating liposuction handle mentioned in the video helps spread the fat evenly allowing improved blood supply to the grafted tissue, leading to better long-term results.

During your consultation at our Richmond office, we’ll discuss:

  • Your goals for breast enhancement
  • Potential donor sites for fat harvesting

  • Options for combining procedures

Ideal Candidates for Natural Breast Augmentation
