Minimally Invasive Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer

Minimally Invasive Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer

In the minimally invasive and simultaneously tissue-preserving breast augmentation with fat grafting, we extract your own fatty tissue from areas such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs, process it, and precisely inject it into the breast.

The Process

The procedure works without foreign implants, preserves the natural breast architecture, and minimises tissue trauma through a micro-cannula-assisted technique. Thanks to the finest incisions of only a few millimetres, scars remain almost invisible. The transplantation is carried out layer by layer, so that the fat is optimally supplied with blood and can integrate over the long term. For patients who wish for a moderate volume increase, improved contour, or correction of small asymmetries, this technique offers a natural alternative with less downtime and a high safety profile.

Minimally Invasive Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer - Your advantages at BRST

100% Natural Feel

As exclusively your own adipose tissue is used, the breasts feel completely natural and adapt harmoniously to body temperature and movement.

Dual Body Contouring

The liposuction simultaneously provides contouring improvements in problem areas such as the abdomen or hips - a two-in-one effect.

Micro-scars & minimal downtime

Incisions of under 3 mm often become invisible, and most patients are back to their daily activities after 48 hours.

No Implant Risks

Capsular contracture, implant rupture, or ALCL are entirely eliminated, as no foreign material is used.

Long-Term Stability

Once integrated, fat retains its volume permanently, so results are maintained long-term — even with moderate weight fluctuations.

Refined Shape Corrections

Fat grafting allows millilitre-precise shaping, ideal for correcting asymmetries, contour irregularities, or for subtle décolleté enhancement.

Procedure for Minimally Invasive Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer

Before the procedure

Before the procedure, a detailed 3D simulation, blood tests, and definition of the donor regions are carried out. You receive detailed preparation instructions, including nicotine cessation and nutritional recommendations to optimise fat cell viability.

During the procedure

Under gentle sedation and local anaesthesia, 50-300 ml of fat per side is harvested using fine cannulas, cleansed, and injected with care for cell integrity. The breast is built up layer by layer to ensure optimal blood supply and homogeneous volume distribution.

After the procedure

A compression garment supports the donor regions for 4-6 weeks, while specialist soft bras protect the breast tissue. Light activities are possible after two days, sport after approximately three weeks. Digital check-ins and personal follow-up appointments ensure the fat integrates optimally.

Light activities are possible after two days, intensive sports typically after three to four weeks, depending on your healing progress.
What risks are associated with the Minimally Invasive Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer?
Rare risks include oedema, temporary sensory disturbances, or fat calcifications. Serious complications are extremely rare, as no foreign material is used.
Can a Minimally Invasive Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer be combined with other procedures?
Yes, it is frequently combined with a lift or implant exchange to optimally harmonize shape, firmness, and volume.

Breast asymmetry - when breasts are different sizes

When it comes to personal well-being, a full, well-shaped bust is important to many women. However, if breasts are of different sizes or shapes, this can cause insecurity – when looking in the mirror, getting dressed, or during intimate moments. Such feelings are...
