Augmentation With Implants VS Fat Transfer

Augmentation With Implants:

In SNU we use silicone implants which are pre-filled with a silicone gel. Silicone implants most closely mimic the feel of natural breast tissue. The design of silicone implants keep the silicone gel contained within the casing, reducing the chance of implant leaking. You will be able to customize your implant shape, texture, and profile to your specific breast augmentation goals. Silicone implants are available in two shapes: round or teardrop shaped. You will discuss your options with our surgeon in order to select the right implant for you. Please note that the type of implant profile that is right for you will depend on the width of the implant on the chest wall related to the width of the base of the breast.

Augmentation With Fat Transfer: Fat grafting to the breasts is an increasingly popular way to add volume and symmetry to the breasts. Breast augmentation with fat transfer is an excellent option for patients who are interested in going up a single cup size. Fat transfer can also be used to address tissue irregularities and correct breast asymmetries. In order to perform a fat transfer, our surgeon first performs liposuction at your chosen donor site. Women frequently choose their flanks, abdomen, or thighs for their fat collection site. The collected fat purified and prepared to be re-injected into the breasts. Due to the fact that not all fat cells will survive being transferred during fat transfer, our surgeon may “overfill” the breasts to achieve the best outcomes.
