What is breast augmentation with fat grafting?

Breast augmentation with fat grafting is the latest procedure to increase the size of the breasts without breast implants. In this procedure, fat is obtained from the fatty part of the patient like the arms, thighs, or stomach and is injected into the breasts. This procedure is relatively safer than breast implants and the results are fuller natural-looking breasts.

Will breast reduction remove stretch marks?

Stretch marks are caused by weight gain or weight loss as skin loses elasticity. Breasts can also get stretch marks due to loose skin and can be reduced by breast reduction or breast lift surgery. If stretch marks are present on the skin removed by these surgeries, then there is a significant reduction in the stretch marks on breasts.

Is breast reduction surgery painful?

Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia and like any other surgical procedure, common post-surgery complications are expected like pain, swelling, soreness, redness, and bleeding. These complications subside in a few weeks. Patients are advised to follow the instructions strictly and take the medications regularly to ease these common complications.

Will breast reduction affect breastfeeding?

Breast reduction is the surgical removal of fat, skin, and breast tissues. Removal of breast tissues affects milk production in the breasts. So yes, it will affect breastfeeding. An experienced surgeon will not recommend breast reduction surgery in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Always inform the surgeon about pregnancy, breastfeeding, or plans of pregnancy.

Will breast lift reduce the size?

In most cases of breast lift surgery, a reduction in the size of the breast is observed by the patient. This happens due to the removal of excess saggy skin resulting in tighter and firmer breasts post-surgery. Breast lift helps in tightening and repositioning breasts only; it does not change the size of the breasts.  

What kind of breast lift do I need?

The type and technique of breast lift required by the patient are determined by the surgeon based on the factors like age, the elasticity of the skin, weight, and overall medical condition of the patient. It also depends on the experience of the surgeon who knows well what will be the best option for the patient as per the desired results.

Are breast lift scars worth it?

With the natural-looking results, breast-lift comes with the complication of scars. These surgical scars are red and slightly above the normal skin surface. These scars will fade slowly with time, but they might not disappear completely. Also, the incisions are made in such a way that the scars are not visible directly or can easily hide under the bras or bathing suits. It is the responsibility of the surgeon to explain the outcomes of the surgery, including surgical scars before the surgery.
