BREAST PROCEDURES
ABOUT
BREAST AUGMENTATION
WITH FAT TRANSFER
Breast augmentation with fat transfer is a surgical procedure aimed at enhancing breast size and shape using the patient’s own body fat.
By harvesting fat from areas such as the abdomen or thighs through liposuction, this technique then gently injects the purified fat back into the breasts.
The procedure effectively improves breast volume and contour without the use of implants, resulting in a natural-looking enhancement.

PROCEDURE EXPLAINED
On the day of your surgery, you will check in at the surgical facility, where the admission process for your procedure will begin.
Here’s what you can expect:
ADMISSION
Upon arrival, you'll be greeted, admitted, and undergo a pre-operative assessment by clinic staff and your anaesthetist to ensure you are prepared for your procedure.
PREPARATION
After changing into surgical attire, the nurses will accompany you to the operating theatre, where the anaesthetist will administer anaesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
FAT HARVESTING
Dr Frank will perform liposuction to harvest fat from predetermined areas of your body, such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. The harvested fat is then processed and purified to prepare it for injection.
FAT TRANSFER TO BREASTS
The purified fat is carefully injected into specific areas of the breasts to create a fuller, more balanced shape. Dr Frank will sculpt the breasts with precision to achieve the desired volume and contour.
AFTERCARE
Following your procedure, you’ll be monitored in a recovery ward until you are ready for discharge. Depending on your needs, an overnight stay can be arranged for added comfort.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER
BREAST AUGMENTATION
WITH FAT TRANSFER
RECOVERY
Following surgery, patients are advised to follow their personalised recovery guidelines from Dr Frank to ensure a smooth postoperative journey.
FAT SURVIVAL AND
FINAL RESULTS
The survival of the transferred fat is a gradual process, with some fat cells naturally being reabsorbed by the body. The final breast shape and volume will settle over the next few months as the fat integrates.
AVOID PRESSURE ON
THE BREASTS
To ensure the best results, it is important to avoid pressure on the breasts during recovery. This includes sleeping on your back and avoiding tight clothing, Dr Frank will give you tailored instructions to promote proper healing.
LIPOSUCTION
SITE RECOVERY
In addition to breast recovery, the areas where fat was harvested through liposuction will experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort. These areas may take a few weeks to fully heal. Dr Frank will provide compression garments if necessary, it is crucial to wear these as directed.
LIMITED PHYSICAL
ACTIVITIES
While light walking is encouraged to promote circulation, any vigorous activities, especially those involving the chest or donor areas, should be avoided for several weeks to promote optimal healing.
