Breast Augmentation is one of the most popular procedures women undergo in plastic surgery. With it not only being one of the most popular treatments, it is also one of the most innovative and advanced procedures on the market. With many different variations to enhance and improve the look and feel of the breasts, discover the difference between Implant vs Fat Transfer.
Implant vs Fat Transfer
Breast implant augmentation usually involves using silicone prosthesis in a rather round or teardrop shape, that is then placed underneath the gland and muscle in the chest to create the desired shape. Fat transfer augmentation uses a patient’s own fat (often transferred during a liposuction procedure) to add to the fat within the breast. For the fat in a fat transfer augmentation to survive, it is important to note that the fat needs to pick up the blood from the tissue and this is maximised with extremely small deposits made to the area.
