Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Enhancement with Fat Transfer?

, , , , ,

Since the beginning of plastic surgery, breast enhancement has always been one of the most in-demand cosmetic surgery procedures. However, as the years have gone on and breakthroughs in medical technology have been made, breast enhancement options for women have evolved past just traditional breast augmentation with breast implants. Breast enhancement with fat transfer can provide an excellent alternative to breast implant or a helpful resource for breast reconstruction following a lumpectomy or mastectomy, or even help put the finishing touches on a traditional augmentation procedure, though this approach may not be right for everyone.

I often explain to patients during breast enhancement consultation appointments that fat transfer injections are not generally a substitute for breast implants. Since only organic materials are used during the procedure, the results achieved with fat transfer for the breasts are considerably more modest when compared to traditional breast augmentation with implants. In my experience, patients who seek a slight increase in volume to the breasts, while maintaining the most natural look and feel may be excellent candidates for this procedure. For women who are concerned about visible scarring after surgery, recovery after fat transfer for the breasts is much shorter than traditional breast augmentation, and since no incision is made during the procedure, there will be no post-surgical scarring around the breast area.

Check out the video below, where I discuss fat transfer breast enhancement at length and its the unique benefits that it can provide for patients:

The Unique Advantages of Fat Transfer For The Face

, , , , ,

Fat transfer injections are more in-demand than ever before, largely due to their ability to rejuvenate areas all over the face and body. While fat transfer may be considered a body contouring procedure by some, I have seen firsthand the incredible results that it can provide patients who wish to refresh the appearance of their face. Fat transfer can help patients address common signs of facial aging including lost volume in the cheeks and lips. I wanted to discuss fat transfer injections today and their unique advantages for patients.

For some patients, fat transfer injections can serve as a highly effective and completely natural alternative to other cosmetic injectable treatments. Fat transfer can help address deep grooves and lines around the nose and edges of the mouth. It can also help plump up the cheeks and lips for patients who experience a “sunken” or flattened appearance in these areas. Because fat transfer uses fat from the patient’s own body during treatment, patients can enjoy the added bonus of liposuction fat removal from areas with stubborn or persistent fat deposits. The fat is safely purified before being injected.

In the video below, I go into more detail on fat transfer injections for the face and the benefits this procedure is able to provide for patients:

Fat transfer injections provide patients yet another excellent and dependable facial rejuvenation treatment alternative. However, this procedure may not be right for everyone and it’s important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience performing fat transfer before making any final decisions.

Hearing Back From Dr. Elliott’s Plastic Surgery Patients

, , , ,

TestimonialsOver the years, my staff and I have formed meaningful bonds with so many of our plastic surgery patients. Helping so many people alter their appearance and improve how they feel about themselves is incredibly rewarding, and this is only reinforced when we hear back from our patients. Today I wanted to share some recent plastic surgery testimonials from patients of mine to show just how profound the impact of undergoing plastic surgery can be for people.

I first had a double mastectomy in May of 2020 with Dr. Elliott performing reconstructive surgery with a TRAM flap. I was very pleased with the results of my surgery then. Then after undergoing radiation therapy, one of my breasts was smaller than the other. I went back to Dr. Elliott to have a fat transfer procedure done. I was so happy with my previous experience with Dr. Elliott’s office that I also decided to have eyelid surgery performed at the same time. Everything turned out perfect. Dr. Elliott is a perfectionist. I would 100% recommend him.

Dear Dr. Elliott, I want to express to you my gratitude for all that you have done for me. I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am with my results, and it has not even been two weeks yet. My family and I just think you are the greatest! I would not have let another plastic surgeon touch my face! I will always appreciate and feel blessed that you were my plastic surgeon.

I underwent a prophylactic double mastectomy with Dr. Elliott. It has now been three months since my surgery and the results are outstanding. The shape of my breasts are exactly what I wanted. I also underwent a mini tummy tuck as part of the TRAM flap removal, and those results are fantastic. My stomach looks better than even before I had kids. Dr. Elliott, his nurses, and staff have been very supportive through the whole process. They did an excellent job explaining procedure options, risks, and the recovery process. I would recommend him to anyone.
