Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation in New Jersey & Philadelphia
Fat is not always the enemy; in fact, fat in the right places can be a good thing. For women who wish to have larger breasts but do not want breast implants, fat can be removed from certain areas of the body and transferred to the breasts to achieve natural-looking enhancement. This approach is known as fat transfer breast augmentation.
At our locations in Princeton, Voorhees, Yardley, and Philadelphia, Dr. David W. Allison performs fat transfer breast augmentation to help reshape the body and create balanced, natural results.
What Is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?
Fat transfer breast augmentation is a natural approach to breast enhancement that uses a patient’s own fat to add volume and improve shape. Instead of implants, fat is gently removed from areas where it is unwanted and transferred to the breasts.
This procedure is often chosen by patients seeking a subtle increase in breast size while also improving body contours in areas such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs. Because the enhancement uses the patient’s own tissue, results can look and feel very natural.
Dr. Allison customizes each fat transfer breast augmentation based on anatomy, available donor fat, and aesthetic goals to achieve balanced, natural-looking results.
Reasons for Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
Fat transfer breast augmentation is an appealing option for patients who want to enhance breast volume while using their own natural tissue. This procedure is often chosen by individuals seeking subtle, natural-looking results and an alternative to traditional breast implants.
- Frustrations with stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise
- Desire for larger breasts
- Concern over the idea of silicone or saline implants
- Breast asymmetry
Fat is extremely durable, which makes it possible to relocate fat to different parts of the body.
What to Expect with Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
Fat transfer breast augmentation is a multi-step procedure focused on careful fat handling and natural results.
Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Risks
Because this procedure involves both liposuction and breast augmentation, there are risks associated with both body contouring methods:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Blood clot
- Scarring
- Dissatisfaction with breast size
- Nerve damage
- Anesthesia risks
These risks can be minimized by trusting your body contouring to an experienced and well-trained surgeon like Dr. David Allison.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Recovery
Recovery from fat transfer varies from person to person depending on how many areas liposuction is performed upon and your own unique healing abilities. You should expect to recover within 1-2 weeks and avoid strenuous activities for several weeks. Swelling and bruising of the breasts is normal as you heal. You may be instructed to wear one or more compression garments for a short time to minimize swelling. Dr. Allison may place drainage tubes under the skin to drain any excess fluids from the treated areas.
Full results may take several months to achieve. It is important to live a healthy lifestyle to maintain the liposuction results.
