Breast Fat Grafting

 In Breast Augmentation

Many people are familiar with the ins and outs of a saline breast implant procedure, as well as the famous silicone breast implantation. Both of which are well known for transforming the patient’s breasts into bigger and better versions of themselves. And tell me, who doesn’t want the perfect pair of breasts? However, there seems to be a new and improved way of enhancing your size that has cropped up on the scene: Fat transfer breast augmentation.

How Fat Grafting Works

Autologous fat transfer, another name for fat grafting, is made up of two main surgeries.

The Benefits of Fat Grafting

The Negative Effects
