Enhance Your Bust Naturally
Breast fat grafting, also known as autologous fat transfer, is a cosmetic procedure that involves the removal of excess fat from one area of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs, and transferring it to the breasts to increase their volume and improve their shape. The harvested fat is purified and carefully injected into the breasts to achieve the desired size and contour. This technique offers a natural-looking and long-lasting solution to patients who desire fuller breasts without implants.
Breast Fat Grafting Corrects:
- Asymmetry in breast size and shape
- Loss of breast volume due to weight loss, pregnancy, or aging
- Scarring or deformities resulting from previous breast surgeries
- Congenital breast deformities, such as tuberous breasts
- The appearance of stretch marks and other skin irregularities on the breast
- Lack of cleavage or projection of the breasts
- Desire for a more natural-looking breast enhancement

What Happens During Breast Fat Grafting Surgery?
During breast fat grafting surgery, you will be given anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable. Dr. Cohen will make small incisions in the designated areas of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, to extract excess fat through liposuction. The fat is then processed to remove impurities and prepared for breast transfer.
Dr. Cohen will make small injections into the breast tissue to deliver the fat cells, ensuring the desired volume and contour. He carefully monitors the injection sites to ensure the fat is distributed evenly and symmetrically. Typically, the entire procedure takes 2-4 hours to complete, following which you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions.

Breast Fat Grafting Aftercare Guidelines:
- Wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support the treated areas
- Take any prescribed pain medications as directed and avoid aspirin or other blood thinners
- Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, or any activity that may strain the chest
- Sleep on your back or side, with your chest elevated slightly to reduce swelling
- Keep the incision sites clean and dry, even while showering and bathing
- Avoid wearing underwire bras or any garment that may compress the breasts
- Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress
- Be patient with the healing process, as swelling and bruising may take several weeks
- Follow a healthy diet and exercise regimen to maintain your new body shape
When Will I See the Final Results?
It may take several weeks to see the final results of your breast fat grafting procedure. The swelling and bruising will gradually subside during this time, and the fat will settle into its new location. You should see a noticeable improvement in breast size and shape within a few weeks, but it may take up to six months for the final results to be fully apparent after your breast fat grafting in Connecticut.
