Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

Fat transfer breast augmentation, or lipomodelling, uses your own fat to add modest volume and improve breast shape. Fat is gently removed by liposuction from one area, purified, and injected into the breast. It offers a natural feel without implants, for patients seeking a subtle change.

From £7,500

Includes consultation, liposuction harvest, fat transfer, and follow-up. A second session, if needed, is quoted separately.

What is fat transfer augmentation?

Definition
Fat transfer augmentation (lipomodelling) moves fat from one part of your body to the breast to add modest volume and refine shape. Because it uses your own tissue, there is no implant. It suits patients wanting a small, natural increase or improved contour.

Is this right for you?

  • You want a modest, natural increase rather than a large change
  • You have enough fat elsewhere to harvest
  • You would prefer to avoid implants
  • You wish to improve contour after other breast surgery

Your pathway

  1. Consultation and assessment

  2. Two-week reflection period

  3. Liposuction harvest and fat transfer

  4. Recovery in a support garment

  5. Follow-up and review of result

Recovery and considerations

You may have bruising and swelling at both the harvest and breast sites for a few weeks. Some of the transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed, so the final volume settles over three to six months. Risks include small areas of firmness (fat necrosis) and the possible need for a second session.

Frequently asked questions

How much bigger can I go with fat transfer?

Fat transfer gives a modest increase, typically up to around one cup size per session. For a larger increase, implants may be more suitable. Outcomes vary between patients.

Does all the fat survive?

Not all transferred fat survives. A proportion is naturally reabsorbed in the first few months, which is why more than one session is sometimes needed.

Where is the fat taken from?

Fat is harvested by liposuction from areas such as the tummy, flanks or thighs, which can give a subtle contouring benefit there too.

Is it more natural than implants?

Because it uses your own tissue, fat transfer can feel very natural. It avoids implant-related risks, but provides a smaller, less predictable volume increase.
