Dr. Park was the Plastic Surgeon at my hospital. I was lucky to have such a wonderful and caring doctor. You hear people say how one person changed their life. I now understand because Dr. Park did that for me. It’s a wonderful feeling when you meet a doctor who truly cares.To find out if you are a good candidate for Natural Breast Augmentation through Fat Grafting, call us at 760.655.1414 to schedule your consultation with Dr. Gregory Park. We look forward to helping you in achieving your goals.

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.

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.

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.

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.

“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.

Many women tend to think of their breasts in terms of bra cup size. For instance, if you’re a 34 A now, you may know you would like to be about a 34 C after your augmentation. 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.

The breast implant is placed either under your breast tissue (subglandular position) or under your pectoralis muscle (submuscular position), which is the major muscle that lies beneath the breast. The incision is made as inconspicuous as possible, either in the breast fold or around the nipple (periareolar). Dr. Rossi prefers the implant insertion through a small incision in the mammary fold. Dr. Rossi places the implant into the breast using a Keller Funnel to minimize any risk of infection, stress on the implant shell and to reduce the incision length.Changes Plastic Surgery & Spa is one of the leading providers of breast implants in San Diego.

Fat transfer breast augmentation is an excellent alternative that is ideal for select patients. 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. For those patients wanting a larger volume breast size, implants may still be the better option. To make the right choice for your body, consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Rossi, who is skilled in both techniques.Breast augmentation enlarges the size of the breasts and gives women the body contours that are traditionally identified as “feminine.” Natural breast augmentation procedures improve the appearance and enhance self-confidence. Breast augmentation involves the surgical placement of silicone or saline-filled implants and is statistically the most popular way to enlarge the breasts. The advent of autologous fat grafting is now a viable option for breast augmentation. Changes Plastic Surgery & Spa offers both breast implants and fat transfer for breast enlargement.

Ultimately, there are several physical factors that women need to consider when choosing implants to complement their everyday appearance. These factors include:It is crucial for a woman to consider her day-to-day activities before undergoing a breast augmentation procedure. For example, breast implants tend to add weight that may affect a woman’s ability to run, lift weights or work. Therefore, athletes or women who work physically demanding jobs should review their breast augmentation surgery options closely.

You’ll probably feel somewhat tired and sore for several days following the operation, and your breasts may remain swollen and sensitive to physical contact for as long as a month. You may also experience a feeling of tightness in the breast area as your skin adjusts to your new breast size. These effects are temporary and will resolve once your breast tissue and muscle adjust.Choosing the right breast implant size is rarely simple. Although it may be tempting to choose the largest breast implants available, selecting large breast implants or extra large breast implants may not be the best choice for you. Instead, finding breast implants to achieve natural breast augmentation is optimal.

A fat transfer can achieve any of these goals and more. A body fat transfer is an excellent, versatile procedure that can make dramatic improvements in multiple areas of your body without implants, artificial fillers, or large scars.

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 procedures can be used to enhance many different features of the body. Once the fat has been extracted and purified, it will then be repurposed into another area of the body to improve the shape, symmetry, and volume naturally. The most common fat transfer procedures are described in detail below.The back of the hands tend to form wrinkles and experience volume loss over time. Patients can avoid the use of dermal fillers to correct this sign of aging by injecting their own fat into the back of the hands. The fat that is injected will create its own blood supply, providing longer lasting results than that of dermal fillers.

Once this has been completed, Dr. Brown will place the cells into a syringe to easily inject the fat into a specific region of the body. After the doctor has obtained the desired shape and body contour, the incisions will be closed with sutures. Patients will be wrapped in compression garments and taken into the recovery area.The cost of a fat transfer procedure will vary from person to person depending on the area being treated, the extent of treatment, and if any additional procedures are needed to provide the patient with their desired results. During the initial consultation, Dr. Brown and the patient will work together to construct a treatment plan designed towards their exact concerns. Through this, he will be able to provide patients with a personalized fat transfer quote. To obtain a quote for this procedure, we encourage anyone who is interested to contact our office and schedule a private consultation with Dr. Brown.

The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis, meaning that patients are free to return to the comfort of their own home following the surgery. Depending on the extent of treatment needed, the procedure can take one to three hours from beginning to end.

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.

Before being released home, patients will be monitored for a couple hours by our medical staff. During this time, the patient will be given a list of recovery instructions that Dr. Brown recommends his patients follow to ensure the best healing possible. To alleviate any discomfort during the recovery process, patients will be given a prescription for pain medication. He advises his patients to try to walk the night of their procedure to help improve the body’s circulation and reduce the risk of blood clots from forming. The compression garments should be worn at all times during this stage to help minimize any swelling and any bruising that may arise.

The transformational results of this fat transfer procedure can be seen immediately; however, the final results can be seen after any swelling and/or bruising dissipates; in about two to three weeks. Patients are able to enjoy their body’s new contour and the boost of confidence it provides!Ideal candidates for a fat transfer procedure are men and women who are in good health and maintain a stable weight. These patients should have enough excess fat in one region of the body; however, fat can be extracted from multiple areas of the body if one location does not have an adequate amount.

As stated above, the procedure itself is broken down into a three-step process: liposuction, purification of the fat, then injecting the fat back into the body.Facial fat transfer can be used as an alternative to dermal fillers. The extracted fat can be repurposed to add volume to the lips or cheeks, as well as to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Patients are able to avoid the use of synthetic materials and fight the signs of aging using their own fat. Fat transfer allows people to customize and sculpt the body that they want without the additional risks of placing foreign materials into the body. Many men and women have been very satisfied with their fat transfer results and the long-term outcomes that it provides. Depending on the location where the fat was injected into, patients will be advised to not place direct pressure on that region for several weeks because it could negatively affect the blood supply being established by the new cells. Patients should refrain from daily activities for about one week following the procedure. More strenuous activities, such as working out, should be avoided for about 4 weeks. Depending on the extent of treatment or where the procedure was performed, the downtime may vary. During this time, if patients have any questions, we encourage them to contact our office and speak with our knowledgeable staff.

Depending on the amount of fat suctioned out, you might have to stay a day at the hospital to monitor your health after surgery. If only a small amount of fat is extracted then you may be able to go home after a few hours of monitoring. You’ll have to enlist the help of someone to transport you home prior to the surgery and help support you for the first day. It is recommended that you sleep on your back or sit raising your upper body at about 30 degrees. This helps reduce swelling and facilitates wound healing during the first-week post-op. There should be minimal physical movement during this first day. Smoking, vaping and passive smoke should be completely avoided during the recovery period as it is known to delay wound healing and may cause a poor outcome. You should wear loose-fitting and comfortable clothes when you’re recovering and avoid tight-fitting clothes as doing so can lead to fat reabsorption causing below-par fat retention.

Consuming a healthy and nutritious diet will help speed up your recovery and give your transplanted fat cells the best chance of survival. You should consume proteins, healthy fats, antioxidants, and vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables. It is recommended that you lower the intake of salt during your recovery.It is normal to feel dehydrated after liposuction. You will have to provide your body with plenty of fluid to keep your tissues hydrated which will further aid in your recovery. Drink water and low-calorie beverages and avoid drinking alcohol and high-calorie beverages for the first few weeks.

The initial recovery period typically lasts anywhere from three to five days, but can persist up to a week depending on your unique circumstances. Most of our San Diego patients can return to sedentary work within one to two weeks.

For about two weeks after the procedure, you will want to avoid sleeping on your stomach. Doing so could compress your breasts and prevent the transferred fat from integrating with the existing tissue. Our La Jolla surgeons will provide you with a personalized timeline regarding when you can resume exercise and strenuous activities.

Although a fat transfer breast augmentation is a wonderful, natural way to add subtle volume, implants continue to be the gold standard for a dramatic transformation. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials, and can be completely customized to meet your needs and body goals.
