This allows for more room when the surgeon grafts the fat, which is extracted from another part of the body, such as the thigh.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/facial-procedures-grand-rapids\/surgical\/fat-transfer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fat grafting<\/a> has a number of advantages, since it doesn\u2019t use a foreign implant but the patient\u2019s own tissue. But one of the greatest disadvantages of the procedure has been that it cannot typically enhance a patient\u2019s breast more than one cup size. This has limited its use among women who desire larger results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPre-expansion to the breast allows for mega-volume (over 300 cc) grafting with reproducible, long lasting results that can be achieved in less than two hours,\u201d according to study authors Drs. Daniel Alexander Del Vecchio and Louis Paul Bucky.<\/p>\n<p>The study examined the results of pre-expansion and autologous fat transfers in 46 breasts of 25 women. While some were having first-time procedures to augment their breast size, others were having implants replaced or having breast deformities corrected. The average amount of fat transplanted was 300cc.<\/p>\n<p>The patients had their procedures evaluated after six months, and the doctors found:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>significant improvements in size<\/li>\n<li>soft and natural appearance<\/li>\n<li>no cysts or other abnormalities under MRI<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The surgeons found that with some practice they could perform the breast fat transfer procedure within less than two hours. None of the patients experienced any significant complications.<\/p>\n<p>While the long-term implications and possible safety issues associated with the pre-expansion and fat transfer technique have yet to be researched, Del Vecchio and Bucky\u2019s contribution to the field of fat transplantation offers new hope to women who want full, natural breast enhancement.<\/p>\n<p>Read more on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plasticsurgery.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">plasticsurgery.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fat transfer, traditionally for the face, is gaining traction for augmenting breasts as a new technique is developed, according to a recent study in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
