Fat Transfer in Beverly Hills, CA

How many times have you thought, "If I could just take the fat from my thighs/hips/belly and put it in my breasts?" Fortunately, scientific and technological advances are now turning this fantasy into a reality. Double board-certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Suzanne Trott has spent a lot of time researching and studying this new innovative technique which originated in South Florida. In the past, this procedure could only be done with multiple surgeries that transferred small volumes of fat at a time. But now, with the use of the nonsurgical BRAVA™ Breast Enhancement System and newer, gentler fat harvesting techniques, Dr. Trott can use much larger volumes of liposuctioned fat to augment your breasts - even bringing you up an entire cup size with one procedure. Breast augmentation with an autologous fat transfer allows Dr. Trott to shape and sculpt the breasts with minimal incisions for reduced scarring. In addition to improving the appearance of the breasts, patients are also able to lose unwanted fat from the lower body in the same procedure, for an overall more sculpted appearance Since Dr. Trott has been specializing in breast and body contouring for more than 6 years, this procedure is a natural addition to her practice, Suzanne A. Trott, MD, FACS in Beverly Hills, CA. Schedule a consultation to learn more information on this exciting new technique and other breast surgery options.

This procedure is ideal for nearly any woman who is considering breast augmentation but does not want to use saline or silicone implants. It is important for women to be in good overall health and have enough body fat available to augment the breasts. Like any other cosmetic procedures, women should have realistic expectations for this procedure.

Many women choose to have this procedure performed after achieving unsatisfactory results from an implant procedure. It is also highly effective for women with breast cancer who must undergo a mastectomy, as fat transfer has been used for many years to reconstruct removed breasts.

Natural breast augmentation through fat transfer involves 2 surgical procedures performed on the same day. First, the fat to be used in the breasts is harvested from another area of the body, most commonly from the waist, buttocks or thighs. Through the use of the REVOLVE™ System, fat is removed and collected directly into the REVOLVE System canister where it is washed and processed to separate the tissue from fluid waste and contaminants. After the fat is processed, the clean fat will be transferred to a syringe and then injected where volume enhancement is needed. Clinical studies show that the REVOLVE System removes more free oil and red blood cells from the fat than decantation or centrifugation methods, which are 2 methods commonly used by surgeons to wash and filter fatty tissue.

The whole procedure takes about 4 – 6 hours to perform. Patients can usually return to work and other light activities after a week. In some cases, 1 – 3 fat transfer procedures may be needed in order to achieve desired results. Injected fat may be absorbed by the body and not deliver expected results during the initial procedure.
