Breast Augmentation

Implants Compared With Fat Transfer

Breast augmentation can use an implant or fat moved from another area of your body. Implants give a defined volume. Fat transfer uses your own tissue but depends on how much fat is available and how much of it remains.

• Implant shape, profile and fill are discussed against your chest width.
• Fat transfer is explained as a separate method with its own limits on size change.
• A combination is considered only when both methods are suitable.

Size, Shape and Proportion

The aim is a size and shape that balance with the shoulders, waist and existing breast footprint. A single standard size is not applied to every chest.

• Base width and nipple position guide the dimensions more than a cup label alone.
• Asymmetry between the breasts is measured and built into the plan.
• Skin stretch and ptosis are noted, because an implant will not lift a very sagging breast by itself.

Choosing the Augmentation Method

Incision site and implant pocket, or the fat harvest sites, are agreed before anaesthesia. Follow-up covers swelling, position and scar care, and implant checks continue over time.

• Plane of placement and incision are chosen for your tissue, not by habit.
• You are told about changes in sensation, the need for support wear, and later implant review.
• If fat is used, donor sites and the chance that some fat will not persist are explained.
