Many women dream about a breast augmentation that doesn’t involve foreign material within the body. Now with today’s technology growing with its leaps and bounds, a natural breast augmentation is within reach. Women can now take the unwanted fat from their thighs or buttocks and have it placed within the breast. This technique is called fat harvesting and liposculpture. This procedure is performed while you are awake. The combination of liposculpture is used to decrease fatty areas, to harvest fat and reinjection of the fat into the breast, is called fat grafting. For ladies seeking a mild or subtle enhancement of their breast, this procedure is ideal verses the more traditional augmentation with implants.
How The Procedure Is Performed
Fat is harvested from various parts of the body. The fat is then processed and then reinjected into the breast using tubes called canulas. Mild sedation is used so that the patient remains awake during the procedure. Tumescent fluid is used for adequate numbing on the areas being treated.
Recovery After The Procedure
Natural breast augmentation only takes about four hours to perform. After the procedure the patient must wear a breast support for several weeks until healing is complete. It is recommended not to sleep on your chest until the healing process is complete. This just ensures that the fat survives in its new home and the desired outcome is achieved. A patient can expect bruising and swelling of the breast and that is quite normal. These symptoms will go away and lessen with the use of ice packs. Most patients resume normal activities within the first few days after the procedure.
Do You Qualify For Natural Breast Augmentation
Anyone that wishes to enlarge their breast naturally is considered a good candidate. This procedure is ideal for women that has lost fullness within the breast due to age, breast feeding, or weight loss. Only a small increase of cup size is to be expected, 1-2 cup size increase. If the patient is seeking a larger outcome then this procedure isn’t for them. Schedule a consult with the doctor to discuss which options is more suited for your needs.
