A new technique will soon be available to British women that allows them to enlarge their breasts with fat taken from another part of the body. Somewhat similar to fat transfer, the technique removes fat from areas that can afford it, such as the stomach, hips and thighs, and then places it into the breasts. Successful results have been achieved during the testing phase, which took place in the UK and U.S. Test subjects were monitored over a 5 year period to ensure results lasted.
The benefits of fat transferred to the breasts in order to enlarge their size include achieving a more natural feel and appearance when compared to implants. Capsular contracture may also be prevented.
The new procedure will be available early next year with a pricetag of about £8,000 (close to $14,000CA). Breast augmentation using this method may increase the breasts by a maximum of three cup sizes.
