Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting

Breast augmentation with fat grafting is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance breast volume and shape using the patient’s own body fat. Fat is harvested from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks via liposuction, purified, and then carefully injected into the breasts to create natural-looking fullness and improved contour. This method avoids implants and provides a dual benefit of body contouring from the donor site. At London Harley Street Clinics, our surgeons perform precise fat grafting techniques to ensure safe, symmetrical, and long-lasting breast enhancement.

Treatment Process

Breast augmentation with fat grafting is performed under general anaesthesia and usually takes 2–3 hours. It includes:

Assessment of breast size, shape, and donor sites to plan personalised fat harvesting and injection strategy.

General anaesthesia ensures patient comfort and safety.

Liposuction is used to remove fat from donor areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs.

The harvested fat is purified and carefully injected into the breasts at multiple levels to create natural-looking volume, shape, and contour.

Donor and injection sites are closed, dressings or compression garments applied, and patients monitored before discharge. Most patients can return home the same day or after overnight stay depending on the case.

The Smooth Eye Laser treatment was fantastic! It completely rejuvenated my under-eye area, making me look well-rested and youthful. The procedure was quick, painless, and the results are simply amazing. Highly recommend it for anyone dealing with fine lines or sagging skin around the eyes.
