When you want larger breasts… but not implants
When you want larger breasts but not implants, fat transfer breast augmentation offers a natural solution. This procedure is ideal for those who prefer enhancing their breast size without synthetic implants.

Fat transfer provides a subtle, natural-looking enhancement using your own body fat, making it an appealing choice for those desiring a more organic approach to breast augmentation.
What is fat transfer breast augmentation?
Fat transfer breast augmentation is a procedure that enhances breast size and shape using your own body fat. The process involves using liposuction to remove excess fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs, which is then purified and injected into the breasts. This technique provides a natural-appearing increase in volume, resulting in fuller, rounder breasts without the use of implants. Fat transfer breast augmentation in Atlanta can also be combined with other procedures like a breast lift or implant-based augmentation to achieve a soft, natural look.

What happens during your fat transfer breast augmentation procedure?
Dr. Moak will perform fat transfer breast augmentation in Atlanta under general anesthesia. First, she will make small incisions in the donor area, such as the abdomen or thighs, to extract excess fat via liposuction. The fat is then purified and processed. Next, tiny incisions are made in your breasts, and the purified fat is injected into the breast tissue to achieve the desired volume and shape. After the procedure, you’ll be placed in dressings and a supportive bra for recovery.
What is the recovery following fat transfer breast augmentation?
You can expect some pain and swelling for the first few days. The incisions heal within 1-2 weeks, and you can return to work in about a week, depending on your job. Physical activity will be restricted, but most people resume full activities within six weeks. You might experience temporary changes in the nipple and areola for a few weeks or months. The final results of your fat transfer breast augmentation in Atlanta will become apparent within six months to a year as your breasts settle into their new shape.
Fat transfer breast augmentation FAQs
What if I want to have a child in the future?
If you plan to become pregnant in the future, it’s essential to inform your surgeon. Pregnancy can unpredictably change breast size and shape, potentially affecting the long-term results of your augmentation. However, there is no evidence that fat grafting to the breasts will impact pregnancy or your ability to breastfeed.
Should I lose weight first?
If you intend to lose a significant amount of weight, discuss this with your surgeon. They may recommend stabilizing your weight before undergoing surgery to ensure the best results.
How long does fat grafting to the breast last?
Some of the transferred fat will be reabsorbed by your body in the initial weeks. However, the surviving fat is permanent and behaves like fat in any other part of your body. Weight changes will affect these fat cells similarly to how they affect other areas.
