These days everyone wants to live an “all-natural” lifestyle, and this is also happening in the cosmetic world, with more and more patients looking for alternatives to common cosmetic procedures. Artificial implants, synthetic fillers & injectables, and other substances have been proven to get amazing results, but for these patients more interested in the natural options there are some legitimate solutions – a fat transfer breast augmentation in Newport Beach can be one of these options.
We use a term in our office; FAME = Fat Augmented Mammary Enhancement. FAME is our way of referring to a fat grafted breast augmentation. Board-certified Newport Beach plastic surgeon and internationally recognized expert Dr. Nirav Salvilia is highly experienced and familiar with the various techniques and applications of fat grafting. He also has a full team dedicated to helping patients reach their aesthetic goals using procedures that align with their individual preferences.
The list of exciting ways that fat transfer can be used for cosmetic benefit continues to grow. As stated above, fat transfer is used in breast augmentation but there are some other common procedures that can involve the fat transfer technique as well:
At Savalia Plastic Surgery, the patient experience and support are just as important as the end result.
“I am very happy with how my breast lift and augmentation went with Dr. Savalia. He is extremely professional, has a great bedside manner, and makes you feel at ease. He did a wonderful job with getting my breasts very symmetrical despite being asymmetrical before the surgery.”
A fat transfer breast augmentation in Newport Beach can definitely produce nice results, but patients must have realistic expectations and understand that a fat transfer is not usually able to achieve as dramatic of a difference as the other traditional cosmetic methods.
For instance, patients wanting to dramatically increase their breast size will benefit more from having implants because there are limitations on how much fat can be extracted and then used to augment.
In doing this procedure, some of the transferred fat cells will not survive. This is a normal part of the transfer process, and Dr. Savalia knows to take this into account when planning the amount of fat he will be able to harvest and transfer.
There is a lot of importance that is put on the post-operative doctor’s instructions. This is all done to maximize your chances of having the largest number of fat cells survive after the procedure. One of the most important aspects of recovery is to avoid direct pressure on the treated area. The patient will have to think about changes to their normal routines to help with not having direct pressure levied on the area, this might include sleeping on the opposite side, etc.
The results become evident more and more as the swelling from the procedure begins to subside. The final results will not be visible for many months. In most cases, it takes about six months for the newly transferred fat cells to establish a blood supply and take permanent hold in their new location.
The results from a fat transfer breast augmentation will vary from patient to patient. We have seen that most patients will see the results for many years. One point that is important to keep in mind is avoiding any drastic weight change. This has been seen to help prolong the effects of the procedure. A large amount of weight gain or loss can cause the transferred fat cells to swell or shrink, just as they do in the rest of the body. There is a chance that this will compromise your results and prompt the need for a second or subsequent procedure in the future.
Here are some points to help ensure the results of your fat transfer:

A., Google ReviewDr. Savalia and his staff cared for me when I needed it most. I needed to have some breast tissue removed for review, and he was able to rapidly qualify me for a breast reduction as well for my back pain in long ongoing issues. I’m incredibly pleased with the results, and was shocked how little to no pain I had post surgery. As a registered nurse, I was very impressed with his bedside manner and the professionalism of his staff. I would highly recommend him and choose him over and over again if I had a choice.

Consultations with Dr. Savalia are relaxed and informative, never rushed or impersonal.
In my practice, I see a lot of patients who are concerned that their breasts are showing their age. Growing older naturally leads to changes in reproductive hormones that dictate the tissue and structure of breasts. The result is that, over time, your breasts begin to lose their firmness and fullness. While this process is […]
