Both breast implants and fat transfer can be used to add volume and size to the breasts. However, each has limitations. Implants may not have the same natural feel and appearance of a fat transfer, but fat transfer alone may not achieve the desired size. At London BBL Surgery and Body Contouring, we have an internationally-acclaimed breast plastic surgeon at our facility. Dr. Daniel Del Vecchio offers a combination of both procedures with composite breast augmentation surgery.
What Is Composite Breast Augmentation Surgery?
What if you could have natural, soft-feeling breasts with the size and projection of implants? This is achievable with composite breast augmentation. Fat transfer alone can only increase breast size by about one cup size. With composite breast augmentation, an implant is used to create the breast size and shape desired, and then the implant is covered with a fat grafting procedure.
Composite breast augmentation offers the larger size options with the natural appearance of a fat transfer augmentation. Patients can choose their implant type, size and shape to create their ideal breasts. Liposuction is used to harvest fat for the grafting procedure, which can offer the added benefit of slimming another area of the body. The procedure is the ultimate combination of body contouring and breast enhancement surgery to give patients the breasts and body shape they desire.
World-Renowned Breast Plastic Surgeon
Dr. Del Vecchio created the composite breast augmentation technique. His method was published in 2013 in the Journal of Plastic Surgery, describing his technique of covering breast implants with a fat transfer for more natural results. Dr. Del Vecchio is also one of the pioneers in safe and effective fat transfer techniques to achieve beautiful results for his patients.
If you want the size offered by implants but the voluptuous results of breast fat transfers, composite breast augmentation may be right for you.
