You can never have enough of your lovely flesh. Each of us must have heard the saying many times. It has its merits. Insofar as large breasts have for ages been regarded as an essential asset to femininity, strength of a healthy person or an advantage of a serial breastfeeding mother, redundant kilos round your belly or thighs don’t go together with the contemporary canon of female beauty. However, what is redundant in one part of our body can serve to enlarge or remedy imperfections in another region. It’s true excessive accumulations of fat work against appearance of a body area, yet they can be utilised as a perfect, natural breast filler in a procedure known as lipofilling.
Breast enlargement with your own fat is an alternative to augmentation using implants. Breast filling with autogenic tissue is a less invasive technique of increasing the size of your bosom recommended to Patients who dream of a little larger, highly natural breasts, as they are afraid of a more extensive surgical intervention and would also like to get rid of fatty tissue from other body parts.
Lipofilling, also referred to as fatty tissue transplant, is a procedure of enlarging and shaping body parts using your own fatty tissue that involves its transfer from one location to another. Fat is a perfect material for balancing breast asymmetries as well.
At first, liposuction is undertaken of a body region where excess fatty tissue has accumulated. The tissue is most often withdrawn from around the belly, buttocks, thighs or loins. As part of liposuction, the surgeon makes small incisions in the Patient’s skin through which excess fat is suctioned with a special device. The surgeon proceeds to shape the area operated on, taking care to evenly distribute the remaining tissue. The material collected by liposuction is not immediately fit for reuse, or injection into breasts. It must be prepared, separated, and purified.
The building material ready for transfer is transplanted via fine incisions in breasts. The tissue is introduced with a small cannula and traces of the short incisions are virtually invisible.
The fat generated by liposuction can also serve to model breasts enlarged with implants. It perfectly smooths any cavities and irregularities, making your bosom look more natural.
Initial effects of the filling and modelling can be noted basically just after a procedure, yet the Patient gets to know the final size of her breasts up to about 6 months after a surgery, that is, after the transplanted material has been partly absorbed. Effects of this medical procedure are natural. Breasts become larger, symmetrical, and more shapely.
When filling breasts with your own fat, your bosom can as a rule be enlarged by one size during a single procedure. Continued breast augmentation will require more procedures of fat transplantation. This type of surgery is perfect for women anxious about a single substantial change of breast size and would prefer to have then enhanced gradually.
You should remember breast filling with your own fat is not going to reduce the existing flaccid and extended skin of this body region. Patients facing this issue can combine fat transfer and breast lifting. As a result of this combination, the Patient acquires a larger, more shapely, and appropriately lifted breasts. It becomes more youthful and firmer and its skin is more flexible.
