Dr. Daniel Butz of Quintessa Discussing Breast Augmentations Using Fat Grafting
Dr. Daniel Butz
I see a lot of patients coming in and asking for ways to enhance their breast size, but they’re really not interested in using the available implants on the market. They don’t want the breast to look augmented, or they’re worried about them looking fake or feeling unnatural. And utilizing your own fat is a really popular technique, that’s really increased over the last several years. So, fat grafting is commonly done in the face, the breast and for the buttock. Essentially what we’re doing is taking liposuction, taking fat from areas you don’t want it, frequently the abdomen, the back, the thighs, and transferring that into the breast to enhance the volume.
And there are limitations to how much volume you can increase the breast in one setting. So sometimes a patient’s looking for a larger increase in size, it may require two surgical procedures. Most patients are able to get a modest increased cup size in one procedure. And they’re very happy with the very natural appearance and feel of the breast augmentation that they get. It’s a very rewarding procedure, you kind of get two for one with the liposuction and the breast enhancement. It provides a natural long-term result, that is going to you live with you forever.
