This procedure is also known as fat transfer or lipofilling which involves transfer of patient’s own fat to correct the deficiencies in other areas of his/her own body. Fat transfer may be performed anywhere in the body, especially for breasts, cheek, chin, buttocks, lips, depressed scars, facial asymmetry and for minor corrections after liposuction.
The procedure is done under General anaesthesia. Initially the fat is procured from the patient’s own body like lower abdomen and thighs through very fine cannulae.
Then the aspirated fat is processed and made ready for injection. The fat is then transferred into special syringes for injection into areas in multiple layers and in micro-droplet form so that each fat droplet is surrounded by normal healthy surrounded tissue from where the grafted cells derive their blood supply and nutrition.
The procedure is performed as a day care procedure. The area of fat grafting is overfilled by 30 - 40% to compensate for the expected amount of fat resorption.
Nipple Areolar Complex is safely transported while still being attached to a strip of tissue called the pedicle to a higher and a more aesthetically pleasing position.
Liposuction is used in most breast reduction surgeries to achieve a better contour of the lateral chest area in order to achieve an overall better looking breasts.
Breast tissue is then strategically removed from different areas of the breast to reduce and reshape the remaining breast and the breasts also get lifted to achieve a perkier look.
It is usually advised to apply ice compresses to minimize the swelling in the operated areas for a period of 3-5 days. You may be advised to wear supportive bra for a period of 4-6 weeks.
The fine port site sutures may be removed after 5-7 days. You may be advised to start lymphatic massages once the suture lines are dry. This helps in evening out the operated areas, reduce swelling, pain and in achieving better contours.
Avoid excessive movements and strenuous activities for a period of one month.
You may perceive the result immediately after surgery, however due to over
correction, it may take some time for the fat to resorb. You may perceive the final
result in 3-6 months’ time.
As in any other surgical procedures, the expected risks are bleeding, infection, fat necrosis, and cyst formation. Fat necrosis, and cyst formation are very rare in our experience because of adherence to fat transfer principles like microdroplet deposition, layered deliver and nanofat transfer.
To overcome the problem of fat resorption by the body, your team of surgeons usually over correct the area by 25-30%. However the resorption rates are very less in micro and Nanofat tranfers because of better blood supply of the grafted fat, by the healthy surrounding tissue.
Breast implants- women who are seeking significant improvement of their breast size and having minimal sagging of breasts, silicone implants may be a better option.
In few instances, a second procedure or may be even a third may be advised as deposition of larger quantities of fat in the same sitting may increase the chances of resorption, and hence smaller volume injection in multiple sittings is recommended.
Results are long lasting with some, long term results lasting for more than 15 years.
