BREAST FAT TRANSFER
Breast fat transfer, often referred to as autologous fat transfer or fat grafting, is a type of cosmetic surgery procedure conducted by cosmetic practitioner, Dr. Hatem Elfieshawy.
This procedure utilises your body's own fat, taken from areas like the abdomen, hips, or thighs, and transfers it to the breasts. The intention is to alter the size and shape of the breasts using body fat instead of traditional synthetic implants. The harvested fat is purified and then carefully injected into the breasts.
One aspect of the breast fat transfer procedure is that it involves the transfer of fat from one area of the body to another. This means fat is removed from selected areas and inserted into the breasts. Because the procedure uses the patient's own body fat, the risk of an allergic reaction or rejection is often considered to be lower compared to procedures using synthetic materials. As with any cosmetic surgery procedure, a breast fat transfer requires an understanding of the process, potential risks, and recovery time.
Dr. Hatem Elfieshawy is committed to providing clear, accurate, and comprehensive information about this procedure, enabling you to make a well-informed decision.
Some risks and potential complications associated with breast fat transfer surgery include:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Changes in sensation in the breast or the donor site
- Asymmetry or irregularities in breast shape and size
- Fat necrosis (death of fat cells transferred into the breast)
- Anaesthesia risks
- Scarring
Recovery from breast fat transfer surgery varies among individuals due to personal healing rates and pain tolerance. Typically, patients can expect to take a one to two-week break from work and limit strenuous activities for up to six weeks post-surgery.
Dr. Hatem Elfieshawy will provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a safe and comfortable recovery.
During the recovery phase, patients may experience temporary swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be effectively managed with prescribed medications. A compression garment may be recommended to aid healing in the areas where fat was extracted.

Fat transfer breast augmentation involves harvesting fat from another area of the patient's body, purifying it, and injecting it into the breasts to increase their size and improve their shape. This method offers a more natural look and feel compared to implant-based augmentation but may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired results.
Breast fat transfer may be used to address mild breast asymmetry. However, the suitability of this approach should be discussed with your surgeon.
A certain percentage of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed by the body over time. The remaining fat that successfully integrates can be considered permanent.
While a breast fat transfer can alter the size and shape of the breasts, it does not significantly address sagging or drooping. For this concern, a breast lift or mastopexy might be recommended, which can be performed in conjunction with a breast fat transfer.
Weight fluctuations can affect the results of a breast fat transfer. Gaining weight can lead to an increase in breast size, while losing weight can result in a decrease. Maintaining a stable weight post-procedure is advisable for consistent results.
