Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafts Before & After Case 1245

Many women considering breast augmentation assume the only option is an implant. For this young patient with a smaller frame, Dr. David Stoker instead performed a breast augmentation with fat grafts. Her goals were a subtle increase in fullness, improved cleavage, and a figure that would fill out her tops a bit more.

Fat grafting uses liposuction to collect a patient's own fat, which is then transferred into the breasts. Because the amount of added volume is typically modest, the procedure is best suited to patients who want gentle enhancement rather than a large change in size. That made it a natural fit for this patient's goals and proportions.

The postoperative photographs show fuller breasts with better cleavage and a soft, natural shape. The improvement is understated, and it remains balanced with her frame. Graft survival varies, and some transferred fat may be reabsorbed. Dr. Stoker, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Los Angeles, uses fat grafting for patients who want an enhancement that looks and feels like their own tissue.
