Fat Transfer as an Alternative to Implants
Have you ever thought to yourself, “I wish I could take the extra fat from my _______ and give it to my breasts (or butt)”? Well, that’s actually an option!
While women (and men) have been known to receive plastic surgery in the form of breast implants, fat transfer offers an augmentation of the breasts or buttocks using fat from your own body. This method can even be used in the face to fill in deep wrinkles and volumize the lips and cheeks.
While thinking of breast implants does come with negative connotations for some, this method of fat transfer is not your typical implant. It can make for a more natural and realistic feeling body part and can be a great option for women who have lost their breasts due to breast cancer or for males who are transitioning to a female body.
Fat transfer makes a great alternative to traditional implants and augmentation because it is minimally invasive and offers more natural, realistic results. Keep in mind, though, you do need fat on your body for this to work, so it may not be an option if you are very slim. Since it also uses your body’s natural fat cells, these can be absorbed back into your body over time or if you lose weight.
If you are looking for a more natural alternative to breast implants, fat transfer may be your answer. The wonders of modern medicine never cease to amaze us!
