Fat transfer breast augmentation in St. Louis
Fat transfer breast augmentation at our Creve Coeur office uses your own fat instead of implants, for a more natural and subtle enhancement. Dr. Ameha Hagos performs it under local anesthesia.
What is fat transfer breast augmentation?
It is a way to enhance the breasts without implants. Fat is removed from the abdomen, flanks or back with laser liposuction, purified, and transferred to the breasts. Because it is your own fat, the enhancement is more natural and subtle.
Why choose fat transfer instead of implants?
Breast augmentation is about more than appearance. It is about helping women feel more at home in their bodies. Our approach focuses on enhancing your natural beauty, with results that look effortless, elegant and natural.
Fat transfer also brings two benefits in one: the fat comes from an area you would like contoured, such as the abdomen, flanks or back, and is used to enhance the breasts.
How is the procedure done?
We use BeautiFill, a laser-guided body contouring technology, to remove the fat with minimally invasive techniques and transfer it to the breasts. A tumescent solution provides localized anesthesia and helps minimize bleeding and bruising.
- Local anesthesia and laughing gas, with no general anesthesia
- Ultrasound guidance for safety and accuracy
- Small incisions and minimal scarring
- Skin tightening in the area the fat is taken from
Can it be combined with Lipo 360 or Lipo 180?
Yes. Our Lipo 360 and Lipo 180 plans can be done with or without fat transfer, so the fat removed from your midsection can be used for augmentation. Learn more about laser liposuction, or about using fat transfer for a Brazilian Butt Lift.
What is recovery like?
Fat transfer starts with laser liposuction, so you receive the same aftercare as our liposuction patients: a post-care kit and clear instructions, a personal call within 24 hours, and compression garments for at least four weeks. Some bruising, swelling and mild discomfort are a normal part of healing and usually fade within a couple of weeks.
