Lipofilling, also known as autologous fat grafting, offers a completely natural approach to breast enhancement using your own body fat. With advances in technology like the LipoGrafter® system, fat transfer has become more effective and reliable than ever before, providing natural-looking results that integrate seamlessly with your body.
Lipofilling involves three main steps: harvesting fat from areas with excess (such as abdomen, hips, or thighs), purifying the fat cells, and carefully injecting them into the breasts to add volume and improve contour.
Because it uses your own tissue, there's no risk of allergic reactions or rejection. The transferred fat becomes a living part of your breast tissue, moving and aging naturally with your body.
Lipofilling can be used alone for subtle enhancement or combined with implants or tissue expanders for more dramatic results.
Traditional fat transfer requires multiple manual steps that can damage delicate fat cells. The LipoGrafter® system performs the entire process in a closed, sterile environment, dramatically improving cell survival rates.
The system uses gentle, low-pressure aspiration to harvest fat without trauma. The closed collection bags allow fat to separate naturally by gravity — no centrifugation or filtering that might damage growth factors and cell viability.
Reinjection happens through a controlled circuit that enables precise micro-droplet placement, which is essential for optimal fat cell survival and integration.
One of the greatest advantages of lipofilling is the completely natural result. The transferred fat integrates with your existing breast tissue, creating soft, natural movement and feel that's indistinguishable from natural breasts.
You also get the added benefit of body contouring in the donor areas. Removing excess fat from the abdomen, hips, or thighs can improve your overall silhouette while providing tissue for breast enhancement.
Additionally, fat grafting may improve skin quality and elasticity in the treated area, as the transferred fat contains regenerative cells and growth factors.
Lipofilling works beautifully in combination with other techniques. When paired with the EVEbra® tissue expansion system, the expanded tissue provides an ideal environment for fat grafting with improved survival rates.
Some women choose lipofilling alongside implants to smooth edges, improve contour, and create an even more natural appearance. This hybrid approach combines the projection of implants with the natural softness of fat.
In reconstruction, lipofilling can refine results from implant or flap procedures, correcting minor asymmetries and enhancing overall aesthetics.
Typically, about 60-75% of grafted fat survives long-term, which is why some patients choose to undergo touch-up sessions to achieve their desired results. This is a normal part of the process and allows for gradual, controlled enhancement.
Recovery from lipofilling is generally easier than implant surgery. You'll have some swelling and bruising in both donor and recipient areas, but most patients return to normal activities within a week or two.
Results continue to improve over several months as the transferred fat integrates and any swelling subsides. The final outcome is natural, long-lasting enhancement that feels truly like your own.
Lipofilling with advanced systems like LipoGrafter® offers a natural, safe, and effective approach to breast enhancement. Whether used alone or in combination with other techniques, it provides beautiful results using your own body's resources. The gentle handling and closed-system technology ensure optimal cell survival for lasting, natural outcomes that enhance your confidence and comfort.
