In most cases, breast augmentation is performed using breast implants. For select patients, breast augmentation may be accomplished through autologous fat transfer (using your own natural fat). During the fat grafting procedure, fat is gently harvested from areas of the body that have fat to spare, such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs. The fat is then prepared and meticulously re-injected into the breasts. For certain patients, fat grafting may be used for breast augmentation, to correct asymmetries in the breasts, or for breast reconstruction. For further information about fat grafting to the breasts, including whether you would be a good candidate for this procedure, please call 212-988-1800 to make an appointment online for a personal consultation with Dr. Elie Levine.
