Fat Transfer May Be Supplanting Implants As The Top Dog In Breast Augmentation
Classic breast augmentation (augmentation mammoplasty) is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to increase breast size. Depending on the method selected, the surgeon places silicone or saline breast implants under the breast tissue or chest muscles. For decades, this procedure has been perhaps the most iconic procedure in the cosmetic surgery industry. But nothing lasts forever, and the old-fashioned “boob job” is losing market share in the breast enhancement marketplace. The new kid on the block taking all the business: fat transfer to the breasts.
Some surgeons and organizations believe that Awake VASER Liposuction with fat transfer will surpass implants within the next few years. But what exactly is fat transfer? Are the results different than breast implants? And is the breast fat transfer hype justified? What should patients do in the quest for shapelier or bigger breasts?
What is Awake VASER Liposuction?
Awake VASER Liposuction is a body contouring procedure. It is a debulking procedure that focuses on removing excess fat from problem areas in order to improve overall body shape. It is both a very high-tech procedure, and a very gentle one to undergo. It does not require the use of general anesthesia, but it has a massive aesthetic impact. The abdomen, chest, back, hips, chin and legs are among the areas most frequently targeted for liposuction.
Awake VASER Lipo is a minimally invasive cosmetic surgery procedure. The surgeon creates a few miniscule 2-4 millimeter holes, and then inserts a hollow, thin tube called a cannula. Unwanted fat is separated from surrounding tissue using ultrasonic waves and then suctioned out.
