Fat Transfers to Breasts More Successful Now
I remember reading with great interest, about procedures that weren’t all that common a few years ago, but were in the process of being perfected, where some surgeons were able to transfer fat from say, a woman’s thighs and buttocks or belly, or other common places where women tend to store their extra padding, to their breasts, thereby giving them a natural breast implant, foregoing the traditional faker, less natural look of an actual implant for the body’s own natural fat stores. What an idea, you take fat from one area and sculpt that down to a littler sizer, while emphasizing the breasts with that fat – genius!
A surgeon in Miami is doing these fat transfers quite successfully right now, and with pleasing results. There are lots of women out there who would love to have the large breasts that breast implants can offer, but are looking for breast implant alternatives to enlarge their breasts naturally so they can enjoy the larger size without the hardness or the fake look of implants. Who can blame them! Natural breast enhancement products, as you know, have become extremely popular because of this fact, and although this is still a procedure that you have to go to a surgeon for that can be quite costly, it at least gives more natural results.
The obvious advantage to this procedure is that you can sculpt the breasts out and shape them exactly where the shape and sculpting is needed, whereas the implant is one stationary device that only comes in certain sizes. It is immovable, whereas the fat transfers can be manipulated and moved around to suit the patient’s desired outcome better. I think that is why this procedure may gain in popularity.
When I read about this though, I did wonder about the risk of fat migration. You’ve probably heard that when fat is grafted from one area of the body to another, there is a risk of it moving, or migrating, around in the body, creating lumps and bumps where they are not supposed to be. Here’s the interesting part of the technique used by the surgeon in Miami. Since fat injections were met with a lot of disappointment, they figured they could try to create pockets where they could put the fat, so that the fat would not be as readily absorbed by the body and could pick up a healthy blood supply so that it could “survive” instead of simply being absorbed and flushed out by the body.
The surgeon has the patient wear the Brava breast enhancing device for several weeks, several hours a day, to create these pockets, and that seems to help do the trick in getting the fat injections to remain stable so the patient’s breast enhancement sticks around for longer than just a few years. This procedure of course also has great possibilities when it comes to breast reconstruction for breast cancer survivors who are really not all that thrilled by the idea of getting breast implants. A very interesting process! More to come as we hear more about this.
