Fat Grafted Boobs

Breast augmentation is most commonly performed with the use of a silicone or saline implant. But there may be a more natural way to fill out your bust line. Fat is harvested from other areas of the body, such as the hips or buttocks, and then grafted for use in the breasts.

"There's no implant. It's just you. Nothing will feel more natural than this" says Dr. Robert Schwartz, a practicing surgeon in Dallas who uses the procedure.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has recently given approval for the procedure, but still warns caution by users. Users should be warned that some of the fat will be reabsorbed, unlike implants which will are not absorbed by the body. Calcifications or cysts may also develop from the fat, which may mimic the feel of a breast cancer tumor. Safety tests are still being conducted to ensure the long-term viability and safety of the procedure.
