Fat Transfer in Mumbai

What is Top Surgery with Breast Fat Transfer?

Top surgery with breast fat transfer is a gender-affirming procedure for transgender women and non-binary individuals seeking a natural method of breast enhancement. Instead of implants, this technique uses the patient’s own fat to add volume and improve breast shape, providing a more subtle and natural-looking result.

Why Choose Breast Fat Transfer?

  • Natural Look and Feel – Since the procedure uses your own fat, the results feel more natural compared to implants.
  • No Foreign Materials – Eliminates the need for synthetic implants.
  • Minimal Scarring – Only small incisions are made for liposuction and fat transfer.
  • Dual Benefits – Excess fat is removed from donor areas, contouring the body while enhancing the chest.

Am I Ready for Breast Fat Transfer?

Physical Readiness
  • Do you have enough donor fat in areas such as the thighs, abdomen, or flanks?
  • Are you in good overall health with no conditions that may affect healing?
  • Have you maintained a stable weight, as fluctuations can impact fat retention?
Emotional Readiness
  • Are you comfortable with a subtle increase in breast size rather than a dramatic change?
  • Do you have realistic expectations about fat retention? (Some of the transplanted fat will be absorbed by the body.

What Happens During Breast Fat Transfer?

Consultation
  • Your surgeon will assess your body type, goals, and the availability of donor fat.
  • The best areas for liposuction will be identified.
Anaesthesia

The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with sedation, depending on the extent of fat transfer.

Surgical Steps
  1. Liposuction – Fat is harvested from targeted donor areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.
  2. Fat Purification – The extracted fat is processed to remove impurities and ensure only healthy fat cells are used.
  3. Fat Injection – The purified fat is carefully injected into the breasts using micro-injections to shape and contour them.
Duration

The procedure typically takes two to four hours, depending on the amount of fat being transferred.

Recovery Timeline

Initial Recovery (1-2 Weeks)
  • Swelling and soreness in both the liposuction areas and the breasts are normal.
  • Wearing a compression garment is recommended to aid healing and reduce swelling in donor sites.
  • Patients should avoid pressure on the breasts to allow fat cells to stabilise.
Mid-Recovery (3-6 Weeks)
  • Some of the transferred fat will naturally be reabsorbed by the body (typically 20-30%).
  • The final volume will become more predictable after six weeks.
  • Maintaining a stable weight is crucial to prevent fat loss.
Long-Term Care
  • Once healed, the results are permanent, but weight fluctuations can impact breast size.
  • Regular follow-ups with your surgeon help monitor progress.
