Houston Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation at Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics
Have you ever wished you could enhance your breasts without implants? In recent years, breast augmentation with fat transfer has become popular due to its ability to provide a nuanced and natural enhancement to both the size and shape of your breasts.
Dr. Ravi uses liposuction to sculpt away fat from another area of the body, such as the abdomen, buttocks, or thighs, which is then introduced into the breasts in a series of meticulous injections for precision enhancement. This approach allows for precise reshaping, correction of asymmetry or congenital differences, and a permanent size enhancement of up to one cup size. For breast augmentation with fat transfer in Houston, Dr. Ravi and our expert team offer unparalleled attention to detail, a totally patient-centered approach, and the opportunity to embrace the most confident version of yourself.
Embrace Your Feminine Beauty
What is Breast Augmentation With Fat Transfer?
With advancements in plastic surgery, it is not always necessary to use traditional silicone or saline implants to improve the appearance and volume of breasts. Fat transfer is intended for women seeking natural-appearing breasts with subtle cleavage who may be skeptical about foreign objects (implants) in their breasts.
The procedure involves removing excess, unwanted fat from predetermined areas via liposuction and then injecting the purified donor fat cells (also known as the microfat grafting technique) into the breasts to achieve a soft, natural shape and organic appearance. There are minimal incisions, so possible scarring is reduced. In Houston, Katy, and surrounding neighborhoods, patients choose and trust Dr. Ravi Somayazula when they consider Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation.

What Are The Benefits of the Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Method?
Benefits of fat grafting for breast enhancement include:
- A more natural form of augmentation that does not necessitate the introduction of an implant
- No risk of implant failure, capsular contracture, or breast implant illness
- No need to worry about changing implants over time
- Minimal incisions and reduced risks of scarring
- End results that look and feel natural
- Long-lasting results
In addition to these benefits, fat transfer relies on a donor site such as the abdomen, waist, or bra rolls for augmentation material. This allows the donor area to be sculpted and toned through liposuction as well.
Who is a good candidate for Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?
Good candidates need to be healthy non-smokers who are prepared for a surgical procedure and recovery period. In addition, for fat grafting, good candidates must have sufficient fat to harvest for transfer.
Women who have noticeable breast asymmetry or small divots or depressions on the breast mound are often candidates for a fat transfer procedure. Fat transfer builds volume and enhances breast shape without the more significant size increase created by implants. To better understand whether this procedure is a good fit for your goals, we encourage you to schedule a personal consultation with Dr. Ravi. He will spend time learning about your goals, preferences, and medical history, as well as educating you fully about your options.
Expert Guidance for Empowered Choices
Your Breast Augmentation Fat Transfer Consultation
During the initial consultation, Dr. Ravi will carefully gather all pertinent medical history. He prides himself on personally educating patients on various cosmetic surgery options to allow for a more informed decision-making process. Depending on what your individual goals are, a breast lift may be recommended as well.
Dr. Ravi selects liposuction donor sites that will complement and highlight the renewed, overall look of the breasts. This selection process is individualized during the consultation with the goal of sculpting your body to cultivate your ideal aesthetic. A candidate should have a stable body weight with enough fat for successful transfer and should be a non-smoker.

Your Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Procedure
The Pre-Operative Appointment
All patients will be seen approximately two weeks prior to surgery for their pre-operative appointments. At that time, surgical consents are signed, photos are taken, and patients are given an informational packet, which includes detailed instructions for before and after surgery.
An Outpatient Procedure
Natural breast augmentation with fat transfer is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia at a credentialed hospital with a board-certified anesthesiologist. Dr. Ravi initially starts with liposuctioning unwanted fat from certain areas of the body. This fat is purified and then injected into multiple locations and planes of the breasts. The purified fat integrates into the body with the hope of a long-lasting, potentially permanent result. There is a small possibility that additional procedures will be needed to reach the goal cup size if enough fat tissue does not survive. Good donor areas are the back, abdomen, thighs, and flanks. This will be individualized during the consultation with Dr. Ravi in order to sculpt your specific body goals.
Care Every Step of The Way
What is the recovery from a Breast Augmentation With Fat Transfer Procedure?
Recovery times will vary among individuals and are largely dependent on the sites where the donor fat is liposuctioned. There will be breast swelling with bruising and discomfort for several days. Patients typically need to spend one to two days resting, with a return to most normal activities after about one week. Strenuous activities should be avoided for three weeks. It is realistic to expect the breast to go up by one cup size per procedure, with final results to appear at three months.
A Natural Enhancement That Stands the Test of Time
Breast Augmentation With Fat Transfer Results
Unlike implant augmentation, fat transfer provides permanent results without requiring implant revision or exchange. It also offers more personalized contouring because the injections are carefully placed to accentuate your breast shape and reflect your individual goals. Common outcomes include a rounder breast shape with more ample volume in the upper pole, enhanced cleavage, and improvement of asymmetry.
Because a percentage of the transferred fat cells will not survive, Dr. Ravi will slightly “overfill” the treatment areas. As you heal, your permanent results will become visible, allowing you to achieve a more balanced figure and embrace your feminine beauty. You may experience a better self-image, enjoy more clothing options, and feel more confident engaging in a wider range of activities, relationships, and opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions
When care is taken during the harvesting, purification, and injection of fat, breast augmentation with fat grafting results will both look and feel completely natural. Because no implant is used, the results you achieve with fat transfer may take some time to settle, but after recovery, your breasts will look more symmetrical, fuller, and more complementary to surrounding features without looking “overdone” or fake.
Results from a fat transfer breast augmentation procedure can last for the foreseeable future as long as a stable weight is maintained. Full results may take up to six months to be realized but will require no special care to maintain. The care you take during recovery will, however, play a role in the final appearance of your breast augmentation procedure. It may take more than one procedure to achieve optimal results.
General surgical risks include infection, bleeding, and adverse reaction to the anesthesia. Risks associated with liposuction, which will be necessary for fat harvesting, include skin divots, asymmetry, and poor wound healing. Risks associated with fat transfer breast augmentation include cysts, microcalcification, and necrosis of the fat cells. At Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, we utilize advanced liposuction and fat transfer techniques to reduce trauma and minimize risks. All procedures are performed in our private surgical suite and overseen by trained medical professionals. In addition to these steps, we will work directly with you during your entire recovery to help ensure your absolute comfort and ultimate satisfaction.
