What is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?
A cosmetic procedure called fat transfer breast augmentation, sometimes referred to as autologous fat grafting or lipofilling, uses your own fat—usually from the hips, thighs, or abdomen—to increase the volume and shape of your breasts. To create natural contours, fat is extracted through liposuction, purified, and then carefully injected into the breasts.

How Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation in Istanbul Works
Consultation
The doctor will examine you and discuss your goals for the procedure during your initial visit. If you have any questions or concerns, now is a great time to ask them.
Prior to the procedure
Prior to the procedure, you will need to stop smoking and stop taking certain medications. You’ll get all the information you need to prepare from your doctor.
The procedure
The surgeon will remove fat from other areas of your body when the time comes for the procedure. After carefully cleaning up the fat, the surgeon will carefully insert it into your breasts, making sure they appear attractive and natural.
Follow-up
A few days following your surgery, you will have a check-up to assess your condition.
Advantages of Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation in Turkey
The use of the patient’s own tissues, results that look and feel natural, the dual aesthetic benefits of body contouring and breast enhancement, the possibility of fine-tuning breast asymmetries, the possibility of minimizing scarring, the limited long-term risks compared to implants, and an improvement in the quality of the breast skin are just a few advantages of fat transfer breast augmentation.
Risks and Considerations for Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation in Turkey
- Fat absorption variability: Some fat may be reabsorbed—touch-up procedures may be needed
- Fat necrosis or lumps: Rare cysts or calcifications may form.
- Infection, bruising, swelling: Common but temporary side effects.
- Limited size increase: Usually adds only one cup size—implants still better for dramatic enlargement
What are the Different Types of Breast Fat Transfer in Istanbul
Autologous fat grafting (lipofilling) – Same-session procedure using your own fat.

How to Prepare for Fat Transfer?
