Liposuction With Fat Transfer To Breasts Vs. Breast Implants: Safety, Recovery And Results

Many of our patients walk into Aesthetic and Cosmetic Surgeons in Los Angeles in pursuit of breast enhancement. Because our boutique cosmetic surgery practice specializes in Awake VASER Liposuction with Fat Transfer, we field a variety of questions on how this technique compares to an old-school breast augmentation procedure. The cliff notes: the procedure is safe, gentle effective and the results are very natural. It is an increasingly popular choice among people who want to improve the shape of their breasts, and also among a swath of patients looking to increase breast size. Now that those basic points are out of the way, let’s discuss why Awake VASER Liposuction with fat transfer to breasts is trending upward in the breast enlargement market.

Understanding Awake VASER Liposuction Fat Transfer
Fat transfer, also known as autologous fat grafting, is a three-part procedure. First, excess fat is harvested from an undesirable location. Then, the fat undergoes a hi-tech purification process. Then, the cosmetic surgeon takes the purified fat and grafts it into pre-determined parts of the patient’s breasts to alter shape and improve volume. This method increases bust size while also enhancing the silhouette of the breast.

Awake VASER liposuction fat transfer provides some additional advantages over traditional liposuction fat transfer techniques. VASER liposuction utilizes ultrasonic wave technology, which eliminates the risk of liposuction burns. The instrument does minimal damage to surrounding tissue, and is more gentle than other techniques when extracting fat. This combines to shorten recovery periods and produce more quality cells to harvest for fat grafts. The fact that the procedure is done awake also removes a ton of complications from the equation and significantly shortens the patient’s expected recovery time.
