Any number of reasons may urge you to want to improve your breasts. When you know that you look fabulous regardless of what you’re wearing, it gives you that added confidence. That is why so many women turn to breast augmentation to get the look that they desire. Today the options to get your ideal look is no longer limited to implants. Fat transfers are a highly recommended way of adding additional fat tissue to your breast area by using your body fat.
What does a fat transfer entail?
A surgeon takes fat from a specific part of your body and adds it to your breasts. The process to remove some unwanted fat using liposuction is a rather specialized technique that does require a certain degree of skill. The level of skill that a surgeon shows also directly influences the degree of success that the procedure delivers.
After the removal of the fatty tissue, they purify it through various processes. These processes include sterilizing the tissue in antibiotics before injecting it into the breast area. It is important to minimize exposure to air. The less time that the fat tissue is outside the body, the more successful the results of the procedure.
The process of fat transfer is perfect for achieving a natural appearance, and only a small size increase. It requires a relatively short recovery period with minimum side effects.
The process of implants explained
Modern technology has advanced to a point where the procedure of breast implants is much less invasive than only a few years ago. The process now only requires minor incisions, and this ensures that the recovery period is shorter and less painful. Instead of using your body’s fatty tissue, you have a range of options to choose from when it comes to implants.
Each of the different kinds of breast implants offers unique pros and cons. Implants are the preferred choice to achieve a greater increase in the volume of the breast than what is possible with fat transfer. The general guideline on implants is that your implants will last up to 10 years at which time you might only need a minor procedure to replace the implants.
When it comes to breast implants, the most commonly used type is saline breast implants. These contain sterile water, and in the case of any leakage, your body will simply absorb the water and expel it. These saline implants also offer a solution in the form of structured breast implants. An additional inner structure adds more shape to your breast and provides a natural look and feel.
