BreastFat Grafting
with Dr. Nathan Eberle
Restore breast volume and contour using your own fat. A natural, autologous option for augmentation, revision, and refinement after implants or weight change.
Overview
What is breast fat grafting?
Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer, is the surgical procedure in which fat is taken from one part of the body and injected into the breasts or another area you wish to enhance. The practice dates to 1893, though the procedure as we know it today did not gain popularity until liposuction was developed in the 1980s.
Because fat transfer uses cells from your own body, there is no risk that your body will reject the tissue. Many plastic surgeons consider it safer and more effective than some alternatives for restoring natural-looking volume. Though it may not be as widely known as implants alone, breast fat grafting is a powerful tool in modern aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.

Benefits
Benefits of fat grafting
Many patients who have undergone fat grafting rave about smoother skin and a more natural-looking result. These three benefits come up again and again.

Fullness
Happiness with the renewed fullness of the treated area using your own tissue.
Applications
How fat grafting is used on the breasts.
Three Uses
01
Natural Augmentation
Fat grafting can enlarge the breasts as an alternative to implants. The effect is often more subtle than implants, but many patients find their breasts feel more like the real thing.
02
Implant Camouflage
Grafted fat can soften the edge of an implant, build upper-pole fullness and cleavage, and help conceal rippling when overlying tissue is thin.
03
Revision & Reconstruction
After mastectomy, preventative removal, or years with implants, fat transfer can restore contour, symmetry, and a more natural silhouette.
