Pre Surgery Consultation with your MINKST surgeon

At this consultation your MINKST surgeon will listen to what you want to achieve and develop with you a personalised operation plan including:

The reasons you want to have this surgery and outcome you would like to achieve
– Implants or no implants
– Incision planning
– Scar minimisation
– Your surgeon will also ensure you have a clear understanding of the risk of breast fat transfers. If you are considering breast implants as well your surgeon will explain the risks and benefits of staging the procedures or doing both at the same time.

Surgery Day

Your procedure will be performed as day surgery under general anaesthetic in an accredited, licensed hospital. The breast fat transfer augmentation surgery itself takes between 2 – 3 hours. You will spend typically a couple of hours under close supervision in the recovery area before being discharged. You will need a responsible adult to take you home and stay with you for the first night.

MINKST offers a lifetime of follow up care even after your required post surgery consultations.

Breast fat transfer, like any surgical procedure, carries risks that individuals should be aware of.

These include infection, bleeding, scarring, asymmetry, changes in breast sensation, fat necrosis, calcification, cyst formation, oil cysts, and the potential need for additional revision surgeries. Incomplete fat graft survival and volume retention over time are possible. Rare complications like pulmonary embolism or fat embolism syndrome can occur.

If combined with breast implants, risks like rupture, rippling, or capsular contracture may also arise. Textured breast implants have been associated with Anaplastic Large-Cell Lymphoma (ALCL).

Consulting with a qualified surgeon, discussing all risks thoroughly, and carefully considering the benefits versus risks are vital for making an informed decision.

How long does fat transfer breast augmentation last?

Fat transfer breast augmentation typically provides long-lasting results. Initially, there may be a slight reduction in breast size as some of the transferred fat is metabolised or reabsorbed by the body. However, after approximately six months, the remaining fat cells should be permanent and provide lasting results.

Does fat transfer help sagging breasts?

Fat transfer can improve the appearance of mildly sagging breasts by adding volume to specific areas like the upper and outer regions, enhancing cleavage and creating a perkier look. It can also address minor differences in breast size. However, for significant sagging, other solutions may be more effective. 

Can fat transfer cause lumps in my breasts?

While fat transfer can be a beneficial procedure for breast enhancement, there are potential risks involved, including the formation of lumps.  By choosing a qualified MINKST doctor / surgeon, following post-operative care instructions, and being aware of potential symptoms, you can help minimise these risks. It’s always best to discuss your concerns with your doctor to determine if fat transfer is the right choice for you.
