It is often assumed that breast augmentation is performed by implants. However, other method – breast augmentation with fat – is currently gaining popularity as well. During this surgery the fat is collected from other area of the body and injected into breasts. Breast augmentation with fat is suitable method for those women, who do not want to enlarge their breasts too much.
While the idea of breast enlargement with the use of fat is not new on its own, it began gaining popularity in recent years, because several surgeon-researcher groups announced successful results in this field. However, this method is currently limited by the fact that not all fat cells, but only part of them, are accepted by the body. Usually 30 to 70% of fat are successfully accepted.
Breast augmentation with fat is not suitable for women, who wish to enlarge their breasts by two or more sizes. This is because breast can contain a limited amount of fat cells.
