Breast augmentation with autologous fat

Breast augmentation with autologous fat is one of the most popular breast augmentation procedures.

Some women resort to it due to dissatisfaction with the shape and size of the breast, while this procedure is necessary in some medical cases.

Specialists in plastic surgery at the Freshness Center for Dermatology, Cosmetic and Laser in Hurghada are working to give you the best results.

In this article, we will learn about the procedures for this process, and what are its advantages? Does it have side effects or not?

What is the process of breast augmentation with autologous fat?

It is defined as a treatment that uses autologous stem cells with lipids, platelet-rich plasma, and growth factors.

This type of operation helps to show the breasts with an amazing and natural appearance 100%.

It is a minimally invasive procedure to quickly treat scarring and does not require foreign bodies such as breast implants to re-establish volume.

It can be used by women who have undergone the following conditions:

• Radical mastectomy.
• Total mastectomy.
• Nipple sparing (subcutaneous mastectomy).
• Prophylactic mastectomy.
• Repair of breast ripples.

Stem cells with breast reconstruction use body fat or fatty tissue, especially belly fat, flanks, or thighs.

100 mm to 400 mm of fat can be removed through a procedure called mini liposuction.

After that, the fat is treated in the cell laboratory to isolate and extract stem cells, then the surgeon works at the Freshness Center to concentrate these cells.

Freshly grafted fat and expanded stem cells as well as growth factors improve overall fat survival.

This leads to much better results with more care.

The stem cells will undergo concentration using PRP elements, and then this mixture is carefully injected into multiple areas around the breast tissue.

The fat is injected through small, circular incisions made by the plastic surgeon at a freshness center, and then closed immediately after the injection is completed.

This process only takes about 60 to 90 minutes.
