Breast Fat Injection

If you wish to enlarge your small or uneven breasts, breast fat injection may be the ideal procedure for you. It is best to discuss your needs with a qualified plastic surgeon who can assess your goals and medical history to ensure that the procedure is effective and appropriate for you.

Local anesthesia is used during the breast fat injection procedure to ensure patient comfort. The harvested fat from another area of the body (e.g., abdomen or thighs) is then carefully injected into the breasts in order to increase their size and shape.

The procedure typically takes about 1-2 hours to complete.

Patients typically do not need to stay in the hospital following breast fat injection, as it is usually a same-day outpatient procedure.

Following a breast fat injection procedure, it is common to experience swelling and bruising that should diminish within a few days. Some discomfort may be present that can be eased with pain medication. To ensure proper healing, patients must adhere to the instructions provided by their surgeon regarding care of the treated area and avoiding strenuous activity during the recovery period.

Breast fat injection is an advantageous procedure as it does not typically leave behind any visible scars due to the small and well-hidden incisions used to harvest the fat.

After a BFI procedure, most people can typically return to their regular routines within a few days. To ensure proper healing, it is important to heed the surgeon’s instructions in regard to caring for the treated area and avoiding strenuous activity during the recovery period.
