A major advantage of this procedure, which is particularly popular among Anglo-Americans, is that the breast implant can be smaller than in a breast augmentation without the fat tissue transfer. The lighter weight has clear advantages: A rather small implant and improved implant coverage by autologous tissue have a statistically lower risk of later complications that can be caused by a heavier breast implant.
This method is especially suitable for patients who do sports or have slightly asymmetric breasts. The improved covering with fatty tissue additionally reduces the risk of visible and palpable implant edges or the occurrence of „rippling“- i.e., a visible wrinkling of the skin over the implant which can be seen especially in slim patients where the implant lies on the large breast muscle.
The advantages of a hybrid breast augmentation by our team of specialists in Düsseldorf are obvious: less weight, better coverage by the body's own tissue, a naturally soft breast.
