About Natural Breast Augmentation
Natural breast augmentation, also known as fat transfer breast augmentation, provides patients with a unique way to enhance their breasts. This procedure uses the patient‘s own fat to improve the size and shape of the breasts. Many patients who want breast augmentation opt for fat transfer because of the host of benefits associated with it, including results that look and feel natural.
Where Is the Fat Taken From?
During a natural breast augmentation, fat is harvested from areas of the body that contain excess amounts of fat called donor sites. The abdomen is a common donor site, but patients can also get fat removed from the thighs hips, or back. Natural breast augmentation offers a dual benefit, in that it can create a slimmer appearance in areas that have had fat removed from them while adding volume to the breasts.
Am I A Candidate for Natural Breast Augmentation?
Candidates for natural breast augmentation have enough body fat for a successful fat transfer. Additionally, individuals should have realistic expectations. Dr. Nichols recommends that an augmentation using fat transfer not exceed an increase of more than one cup size for best results. However, the first step in determining if you are a suitable candidate for natural breast augmentation is to schedule an appointment with Dr. Nichols. During your consultation, your surgical needs will be evaluated, and you will have the chance to discuss your goals with Dr. Nichols, who will create a customized treatment plan to help you achieve your desired results.
Natural Breast Augmentation vs Implants
Patients interested in increasing the size of their breasts can do so with either fat transfer to the breasts or implants. Both options can help you restore a previous breast size, correct breast asymmetry, and boost confidence. Natural augmentation uses fat to increase breast size, whereas breast augmentation with implants involves placing implants into the breast to achieve fuller breasts.
Procedure Details and Recovery
Natural breast augmentation begins with harvesting fat from the patient. Liposuction is used to collect excess fat, which is then purified and prepared for transfer to the breasts. Dr. Nichols will then skillfully insert fat into tissue layers within the breasts. The procedure is completed on an outpatient basis. Patients will be wrapped in an elastic bandage and may be fitted with a surgical bra, both of which help keep the transferred fat in place. Bruising, swelling, and pain are normal at this stage, including areas that were treated with liposuction. It is recommended that patients plan to take a week off of work to rest. It can take up to six months for residual swelling to go away. After healing, patients will notice an improvement in the contour of their breasts, which should now appear more round.
Why Choose Dr. Nichols for Your Natural Breast Augmentation
Your choice of surgeon can make all the difference in your experience and results. A qualified plastic surgeon can deliver beautiful, natural-looking volume to the breasts with fat transfer augmentation and reduce the risk of complications associated with the procedure. On the other hand, an inexperienced doctor can leave you with underwhelming results. Patients in Sacramento know that selecting Dr. Nichols for their surgical needs means that they will be under the care of a compassionate, experienced, and trustworthy plastic surgeon. Dr. Nichols has years of experience fueled by a commitment to patient satisfaction and is eager to help you on your beauty journey.
