Understanding Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer

Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer is an innovative, natural alternative to traditional breast implants, offering a subtle and harmonious enhancement. This procedure uses your own fat to increase breast size, refine shape, and correct asymmetry—without the need for foreign implants.

At Madison Plastic Surgery, Dr. Robert M. Tornambe has over 20 years of expertise in breast enhancement, delivering beautiful, natural-looking results customized to each patient’s body and aesthetic goals.

Is Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer Right for You?

This procedure is perfect for women who:

  • Desire a modest increase in breast size while maintaining a natural look.
  • Prefer an implant-free approach to breast enhancement.
  • Want to improve their overall body contour by removing excess fat from areas like the abdomen or flanks.
  • Have realistic expectations about the results of fat transfer.

Fat Transfer is not recommended for those seeking a dramatic size increase—breast implants may be a better option for more volume enhancement.

Personalized Consultation Process

Every patient begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Tornambe. During this one-hour session, you will:

Dr. Tornambe may recommend a follow-up consultation to ensure you feel fully confident in your decision before surgery.

  • Discuss your goals for breast size and contour.
  • Review before-and-after photos to align expectations.
  • Learn about the liposuction process used to harvest fat.
  • Understand the limitations of fat transfer, including potential volume loss over time.
  • Explore whether fat transfer is the best option for your unique needs.

Surgical Options and Techniques

Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer is a two-step process that enhances

the breasts while sculpting other areas of the body.

Step 1: Liposuction

Fat is gently harvested from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs and purified for reinjection.

Step 2: Fat Injection

The purified fat is meticulously injected into the breasts, layering it carefully to achieve smooth, even volume enhancement.

Because fat must establish a new blood supply, only a portion of the transferred fat survives. This is why fat transfer is best for subtle, natural enhancement rather than dramatic size increases.

Recovery & Aftercare

Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer is performed in our fully accredited surgical suite on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.


What to Expect After Surgery:

  • 1-2 Hours in Recovery – You’ll be monitored by our medical team before being discharged.
  • Minimal Incisions – Small liposuction entry points (2-3 mm) that heal with barely visible scars.
  • Temporary Swelling & Bruising – Most swelling subsides within 4-6 weeks, with full results visible after 3-6 months.
  • Return to Work in 5-7 Days – Most patients resume work and light activities within a week.
  • Avoid Strenuous Exercise for 4-6 Weeks – To allow proper fat integration, avoid intense workouts during early recovery.



Dr. Tornambe and his team provide detailed post-op care instructions, including scar management techniques for optimal healing.

What is the advantage of fat transfer over implants?

  • Uses your body’s natural fat, eliminating the need for foreign materials.
  • Offers permanent results once the fat integrates into the breast tissue.
  • Provides the dual benefit of breast enhancement and body contouring through liposuction.

What are the limitations of fat transfer?

  • Results are subtle and best suited for those seeking natural volume enhancement.
  • Not all fat survives—some may be reabsorbed by the body, requiring additional sessions for optimal results.

How long does transferred fat last?

Once integrated, the fat is permanent, but volume may fluctuate slightly with weight changes.

Will there be scars?

Liposuction incisions are very small (2-3 mm) and placed in discreet locations.


Dr. Tornambe provides scar management guidance to ensure they fade over time.
