We look forward to helping you in achieving your goals.
Fat grafting is a technique that has been around for a long time but has more recently grown in popularity. Fat is one of the most well-tolerated fillers available to aesthetic and plastic surgeons, and thus has applications not only for breast augmentation but also for cosmetic and reconstructive uses in other parts of the body. Its natural-appearing result lasts a long time and is safe. Perhaps most importantly, it spares the patient the inherent risks associated with breast implants. There are three obvious advantages to the use of fat grafts for breast augmentation.
With Natural Breast Augmentation, Dr. Gregory Park offers a combination of surgeries that results in an improvement in body contour and an increase in breast size. Liposuction is performed which reduces and harvests areas of unwanted body fat. The fat is prepared and transferred to the breasts. If you desire an option for breast augmentation that does not require a man-made implant, then natural breast augmentation may be the right surgery for you.Do you often wonder why some thin women have large, perky breasts? Do they have implants, a good bra, or are they just naturally gifted? A problem with implants is that they are man-made devices that may not last forever. Revisions may be required in the future to replace ruptured, sagging, or malposition implants, or to address capsular contracture or other complications. Implants are not the only answer to increasing breast size. There is an alternative to breast augmentation without the use of implants which will give women a more natural and subtle increase in breast size.If you have concerns or don’t want the long-term worry about breast implants, but still want larger breasts, an increase in breast size can be accomplished using your fat. If you have extra fat in areas that would benefit from liposuction, this fat can be harvested with liposuction and transferred to the breasts. Fat grafting involves harvesting fat from one or several parts of the body, after which it goes through a washing and purifying process, and then carefully re-injected into the breasts. The procedure may need to be repeated several times to achieve the desired result. Swelling, commonly seen after fat injection, generally resolves within 2-3 weeks.If your goal is to achieve very large breasts with a single operation, then this may not be the surgery for you. However, if you desire a natural result using your living tissue as opposed to a man-made, manufactured breast implant, which may eventually rupture, leak, or result in other complications, then the Natural Breast Augmentation using your fat can provide you with the results that meet your expectations. Click here to view some of Dr. Park’s Before and After Natural Breast Augmentation results. Individual results may vary.
There are disadvantages, too. The amount of fat that survives the transfer procedure is generally about 60% or more with permanence after about 4-6 months. The surgery takes longer than standard breast augmentation with implants because the liposuction and fat processing portion of the procedure adds extra time. The breast size increase is limited to the availability of the donor fat and the space available within your breasts. Don’t expect to increase your cup size from an A to a D after one surgery. If this type of increase is your goal, natural breast augmentation may be accomplished by staging your surgeries or by pre-expanding your breasts before surgery using the BRAVA external expander device. The cost of a Natural Breast Augmentation varies, because it is a highly individualized surgery tailored for each patient. The overall price may include anesthesia, operating room facilities, new breast implants, and other related expenses. Additional tests and imaging may also add to your total. Contact us for additional information Fat transfer will not help lift your breast tissue. Dr. Champaneria will be able to tell you during the consultation whether or not fat transfer is able to meet your goals for surgery. The increases in breast size with fat transfer tend to be subtler. There is a limitation with how much fat can be transferred depending on how tight your breast tissue is and how much fat you have available for the procedure. Typically after any fat transfer procedure 50-75% of the fat remains in the long term. Some patients who desire a larger increase in breast size may require multiple procedures to obtain their goals.
Can I go up 2 cup sizes with fat transfer?
How many cup sizes can you gain with fat transfer? On average, you can achieve an increase of around 1 cup size.
Not every woman wants to have breast implants if they are unhappy with the size and/or shape of their breasts. Newer techniques have helped to refine a process called fat grafting where fat is removed from one part of the body and placed into another. It is used to enhance the size and shape of the breasts and buttocks and is also commonly used for facial rejuvenation in place of fillers. Fat transfer can also be used to help correct subtle breast asymmetry and may be used as an adjunct to breast augmentation. An additional benefit is that liposuction needs to be performed to harvest the fat, allowing you to remove fat from stubborn areas. Having your own fat instead of an implant is very important to many women. Dr. Champaneria will be able to assess how much fat you have available to transfer as well as how much fat your tissue will be able to accept.
“If you want a job done & done correctly, come see Champaneria. I personally have never such an outstanding guy with an awesome staff who remains professional on all levels, and does their best to fit the needs of you(the patient).

“My experience with Dr. Manish Champaneria was beyond extraordinary! I had breast augmentation recently and am in love the results so much. Dr. Champaneria was completely professional with amazing bedside manner from the consultation adding his amazing craftsmanship has increased my self confidence beyond words!!! I definitely plan to use Dr. Champaneria for all my cosmetic needs with absolute full confidence & trust in his talented skills”Dr. Champaneria will see you in the preoperative area and will mark the areas on your body from which you want the fat removed. The areas typically harvested are the arms, abdomen, flank, back, and/or thighs. A small incision is made in the marked areas and a saline solution is injected into the area to help with bruising and to make harvest of the fat easier. Once the fat has been removed and the area has a smooth contour, the fat is then reinjected into the breast through a small incision using a small metal tube. Dr. Champaneria will have told you prior to surgery about how much fat he thinks will fit into your breasts. Once the ideal size and shape has been achieved, the small incisions are closed. Depending on the final desired size, some women may require multiple sessions in order to achieve their ideal results.”Where do I begin? Dr. Champaneria is AMAZING! I had been interested in breast augmentation surgery for many years and finally had the courage to move forward and search for a suitable doctor to help me achieve my ultimate look. Dr. Champ was recommended to me by a friend of a friend who had nothing but outstanding things to say about his phenomenal work and attention to detail as well as his genuine compassion for his patients. I met Dr. Champ during my first consultation and I immediately knew he was the one for the job. He made me feel more comfortable than I could have possibly imagined it would be to talk to a stranger about giving me bigger, fuller breasts. Through the whole process, I felt safe and at ease and I really enjoyed his supportive and lighthearted personality when discussing such personal topics as breast size and potential risks about the procedure. During my pre-op appointment, I got to try on some different types of implants and he gave me the utmost confidence that the ones I chose were suitable for my desired look as well as a healthy and safe option for my body. By the time I was ready for surgery, I had absolutely zero doubts that I had chosen the best doctor to do this for me. I ended up getting 450cc silicone implants which I absolutely LOVE! They look and feel so natural as if my body is finally proportioned to how it should have been my whole life. Dr. Champ understood exactly what I wanted to achieve and he delivered just that. With his keen attention to detail and his artistic touch, I really couldn’t be happier with the results. And I had fun along the journey! If you are someone looking for a great plastic surgeon, I have all the faith in the world that Dr. Champaneria will be able to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Thank you Dr. C and thank you to your incredible staff!” “There are not enough stars in the world, in my opinion, to rate Dr. Champaneria’s talent as a skilled plastic surgeon. Not only was he able to save my bellybutton (which he up-front warned me that he may not be able to do) during my surgery for post gastric bypass surgery’s for extra skin removal. He left me feeling as if I was the most important patient that he has ever had. In speaking with other patients, they too confirm that his bedside manner was far and above their expectations as well. He is simply warm, funny, compassionate, an excellent listener, and a superb surgeon. I will definitely be going back to him when I do my breast augmentation. Thank you Dr. Champaneria, you are the best!” Breast fat transfer is always done in an accredited surgical center under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. The surgery usually takes about 1 to 2 hours. Swelling and bruising are very common after surgery and will slowly resolve over the first 2-3 weeks. You will also experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising around where the fat was harvested. For the first several weeks, the surgeon will recommend the use of a compression bra to protect the breasts, and compression garments in the areas that received liposuction. Patients may go back to work within 5-7 days and may resume physical activities (such as exercise) between 4-6 weeks post-operative. Results following a breast fat transfer are usually visible immediately after the surgery.

Dimensions like breast width, height, and projection describe breast shape. These measurements will help guide Dr. Rossi in suggesting the appropriate size range for your implants and help you to make your final choice of size. Unlike with breast implants, which are more predictable, fat transfer can be variable in that the volume of graft that “takes” may change from person to person depending on tissue vascularity Some breast implants are round, and some are anatomical (tear-drop shaped). The look and contour you prefer will determine the shape of your implant. Anatomical implants will create a gentle slope, similar to the shape of a natural breast. These implants tend to provide lower breast fullness. Round implants are more likely to give you a round curve in the upper part of your breasts. During your consultation, Dr. Rossi will help you in understanding which shape will best suit your desired outcome.

At the same time, you have concerns about breast shape and proportions that bra cup size alone can’t describe. You may prefer a certain amount of cleavage or more of an “hourglass” figure. Your anatomy is often the indicator of which type and size of the implant are appropriate for you, and your consultation will include a discussion of what you want and what is recommended.

Patients with areas of excess body fat who desire a small increase in breast size, and who place a premium on very natural results, fat transfer breast augmentation might be a perfect choice.

Most of our fat transfer patients now enjoy an increased take rate of 60 to 80%, meaning better results that last even longer.

Fat transfer, otherwise known as fat grafting, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from one area of the body and places it into another region of the body that lacks volume and/or shape. In general, a fat transfer procedure consists of three steps:
Our certified anesthesiologist will administer the anesthesia; once the patient is asleep the procedure can begin. Dr. Brown will make the necessary incisions near the donor site(s). He will use liposuction to remove any excess fat from the donor site by inserting a cannula into the body. High power suction will extract the fat cells from the body, which the doctor will then place the fat in a centrifuge. During this time, the cells will undergo a purification process, separating the fat from any other unwanted materials.Donor sites are areas of the body that have enough fat that can be extracted and used for the natural augmentation. The fat is harvested through a special liposuction technique which will help preserve the cells for injection. Fat transfer candidates should have areas of the body where excess fat deposits reside that are suitable for extraction. The most common regions of the body that are used as donor sites include:
Because this procedure uses the body’s own materials, the enhancement will not be as dramatic as through the use of implants. For this reason, we ask that patients have realistic expectations of their results. It is important to note that this procedure is not a substitute for diet and exercise. Men and women considering this procedure should have already tried obtaining the contour they desire but have been unsuccessful. Also, patients that are looking for drastically enhanced features may be better suited for a different procedure. To determine candidacy for this procedure, please contact our office today and schedule a consultation with Dr. Brown.
