There are many choices to be made when you decide that you want to get breast augmentation. First of all, there are the cosmetic decisions such as the size of the breast. Then there are the decisions about which procedure to use to get the fuller look that you desire. With silicone implants back on the market, that decision has gotten even tougher.
But you can strongly consider ruling out one choice which is to skip implants and get a fat transfer instead. This procedure is currently considered controversial and is not supported by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons even though it is offered by some doctors.
The fat transfer procedure uses liposuction to remove fat from other areas of the body and then grafts this fat to the breasts to increase their size. It sounds ideal - moving fat from where you don't want it to where you do. However, there are problems associated with this procedure. These include that it takes longer to see results as well as to recover and that there may be health risks and scarring that you don't want to deal with.
