Fat Transfer to Breast in Biloxi, MS

If you are interested in a breast augmentation, but would prefer to achieve more subtle, natural-looking results than implants can provide, you may want to consider a fat transfer to breast procedure. Michael Diaz, M.D., F.A.C.S., a board-certified plastic surgeon, offers this and other fat transfer techniques to the residents of Southern Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and the nearby regions.

What is Fat Transfer to Breast?

The fat transfer to breast treatment is a breast augmentation technique that involves removing fat from one area of the body and injecting it into the breasts to enhance size and fullness. This is a popular treatment because it offers two simultaneous benefits: first, it allows a patient to remove stubborn, unwanted fat from an area of the body. Many patients choose to target the thighs, abdomen or flanks, slimming the overall figure. Second, it allows patients to enhance the breasts with natural body fat, producing subtle and long-lasting results. This is in direct contrast to breast implants, which require a more extensive surgical procedure and come with unique risks that are absent from the fat transfer technique.

Overall, the fat transfer to breast treatment gives patients a natural breast augmentation technique that may be preferred to breast implants in some cases.

How Much Does Fat Transfer to Breast Cost in Mississippi?
The cost of your fat transfer to breast treatment is based on the area where fat is harvested, how many injections are required, and whether other treatments are performed in conjunction with this treatment. During your consultation with Dr. Diaz, we will go over the costs associated with your treatment as well as our payment options. We accept cash, checks, and major credit cards, and offer financing through CareCredit.
What is the Fat Transfer to Breast Procedure Like?

The first step of the fat transfer procedure is to harvest fat from another area of the body using liposuction. This process is performed with anesthesia to ensure your safety and comfort. Most often, patients choose to target the thighs, buttocks, back or abdomen. Once the fat is removed, fat cells are separated from the tissue and prepared for injection. Then, using a fine-gauge needle, fat will be re-injected into the breasts to produce your desired results.

What is the Fat Transfer to Breast Recovery Like?

Following a fat transfer to the breasts, you may return to work or a normal routine within a few days; however, it is important to avoid strenuous activities for a couple of weeks. Side effects may include bruising, swelling and discomfort, and will be present in both the location where fat was harvested, and the breasts themselves. You can expect to be fully recovered within a few weeks.

What Can I Expect from my Fat Transfer to Breast Results?
The results from your fat transfer will be noticeable immediately. These results will continue to improve over the following weeks as any side effects fade and the transferred fat settles. The results of your treatment are long lasting; however, your initial results may not be a clear indication of your final results, as some fat is absorbed into the body in the weeks following treatment. Within a few months of treatment, you will be able to enjoy the final and permanent results of your fat transfer procedure.
Am I A Good Candidate for the Fat Transfer to Breast Procedure?

People who want to simultaneously enhance the figure and enjoy a natural breast augmentation may be excellent candidates for fat transfer to breast treatments. This is especially true for patients who are looking to maintain natural-looking results by using their own body fat, instead of opting for breast implants, which require a longer recovery period and may not produce comparable results. However, the best way to determine your candidacy for this treatment is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Diaz. During your consultation, he’ll review your eligibility for treatment and make sure that the fat transfer technique is the best option for achieving your breast enhancement goals.
