What differences exist in breast augmentation with fat compared to other techniques?

The main difference is that no prosthesis are placed, thus avoiding complications arising from the procedure. In addition, it increased breast fat aging naturally without future interventions. Scars are very small, and remain invisible, in the area where the fat is obtained as in the breast. In addition, they improve other body parts, to reduce localized fat deposits.

Surgery on the breast is achieved painlessly and feel natural.

 

How is the result of breast augmentation with fat? How long its effects?

The result is simple and straightforward, very natural breasts normally feel.

Once the fat has set, and the result is stable, breast change according to fluctuations in weight of the patient proportionally.

Until eight months after surgery, the result is not definitive. It is assumed that a variable percentage of the injected fat will not turn, so it is sometimes necessary to intervene again to fill the breasts again.

 

What are the risks? Are all women can undergo breast augmentation with fat?

With this technique, the associated risks are avoided implants.

The main disadvantage is that you have to re-fill because more fat is reabsorbed from which the patient wants. To perform this technique, you must have enough fat in other locations.
