Breast augmentation: the procedure, risks and recovery

Breast augmentation describes a number of techniques used to enlarge the breasts. The main part of this treatment is the use of breast implants, although in some cases, it may be possible to use a patient’s own fat in a procedure. This is known as autologous fat transfer or fat grafting. The advantage of implants is that they provide a predictable volume and shape. However, most patients who choose implants will need further surgery several years after the intital procedure. The advantage of fat transfer is that once the fat has ‘taken’ it will be there forever. However, the uptake of fat can be unpredictable and vary from one breast to the other. As a result, more than one session of fat transfer is often required to achieve the desired outcome. It can only be undertaken by patients who have enough spare fat to donate from one part of their body to another.
