Breast fat grafting is one way of enlarging breasts, where fat cells are moved from other body parts to the breasts. Breast fat grafting is an alternative to breast implants and has become an increasingly popular procedure in Singapore for various reasons;

Pros Of Breast Fat Grafting

It Is Minimally Invasive

The procedure is fast and is usually performed on outpatients (you get to go home the same day). The fat is removed from other parts of the body through liposuction and transferred to the breasts with a syringe. 

The breasts may be tender, but the discomfort lasts only a few days. You may need to wear a sports bra as the fat cells settle into the breast tissues. Otherwise, the aftercare process is also seamless and easy to follow. 

It Helps To Contour The Body

Since the process involves the removal of fat from other parts of the body, you get the benefit of a better-contoured body without going through the struggles of weight loss. It is important to understand that breast fat grafting in Singapore is not a solution to obesity. 

To get breast fat transfer, you need to have sufficient body fat in other parts of the body. Depending on where the fat cells are removed, you may end up with smaller hips or a flatter tummy. 

It Is Relatively Safe

Compared to breast implants, fat transfer for breast augmentation is relatively safe. It has very few side effects, such as breast tenderness. The results also last a relatively shorter time. The pain and discomfort should be gone within a week if everything goes well. 

Naturally Fuller Breasts

Fat grafting in breast augmentation leads to a more natural and fuller appearance of the results. They take a more natural shape and feel. It is a great way to get an extra cup size without adding a foreign body, such as silicone implants. 

Cons Of Breast Fat Transfer

Mild Breast Size Increase

Breast fat transfer can also increase breast size by ½ to one cup. This mild increment only works for people who want a slight change in breast size. If you wish to have larger breasts, you may have to consider using breast implants. 

It Has Limitations Over Who Can Get It

Breast fast transfer in Singapore is only possible for women with enough body fat. When the fat cells are transferred to the breasts, they sometimes die, so your doctor will need to “harvest” enough to cover whatever cells are lost during transfer. 

Most women seeking breast augmentation have a body image they aspire to get. So, if the fat cells are insufficient to create this figure, it may lead to disappointment. 

It Offers No Guarantees On Breast Size

To limit expectations, doctors warn that breast fat grafting in Singapore can only lead to an increase of one cup size or less. This is primarily because fat cells have a survival rate of 50% – 70%. Fat cell redistribution is another concern.

Some patients may need subsequent fat transfer procedures if the initial breast fat grafting fails to yield the expected results. 

Additionally, changes in physical appearance due to age, pregnancy, weight gain, or weight loss will affect the breasts. Since fat cells are used, the breast size will change in response to what is happening to the body. 

Changes In Cost

Since you cannot tell if you will need more than one procedure, it is difficult to tell how much the entire breast fat grafting will cost in the long run. Sometimes, the cost may be higher than breast implant surgery. 

Like other cosmetic procedures, breast fat transfer has its pros and cons. Some people are likely to benefit more from fat transfer. Before the procedure, consult your doctor to see if you are a suitable candidate.
