Fat grafting

What Is Fat Grafting?

Fat grafting, or lipofilling, is a procedure where fat is gently taken from one part of your body (usually the abdomen, thighs, or flanks) and injected into the breast to restore volume and contour.

It can be used for:

  • Improving shape after lumpectomy or mastectomy

  • Softening implant edges or rippling

  • Enhancing reconstruction outcomes

  • Creating symmetry between breasts

  • Rebuilding volume without implants

Fat grafting is often done in multiple small sessions for best long-term results. It is a minimally invasive technique that uses your own natural tissue and avoids foreign material.

Some women choose fat grafting on its own, while others combine it with implant removal, oncoplastic surgery, or breast lifts.

My Approach

Fat grafting offers a safe, versatile way to rebuild or refine the breast using your body’s own tissue. I provide a tailored approach based on your goals and history.

I provide:

  • Careful assessment of donor areas and breast volume goals

  • Fat harvest with gentle liposuction techniques

  • Strategic placement of fat to enhance contour and softness

  • Standalone fat grafting or combination with implant removal or lift

  • Honest discussion about realistic outcomes and number of sessions

This procedure is performed in hospital under anaesthetic, and you’ll go home the same day or after a short stay.

What to Expect

  1. Initial consultation to discuss your goals and assess suitability

  2. Clinical exam and imaging if needed

  3. Surgery plan tailored to breast volume, symmetry, and donor sites

  4. Harvest and grafting performed through tiny incisions

  5. Recovery and review, with ongoing scar and result assessment

    Fat grafting is often staged to achieve long-lasting, natural outcomes — and I’ll guide you through every step.
