Perhaps no procedure is more culturally synonymous with cosmetic surgery than breast augmentation. Breast implants have been in the American zeitgeist for decades. We’ve all seen the perks of the procedure (no pun intended), but there are several issues with the classic “boob job” that prevent patients from getting the surgery. Some people can’t justify taking on the risk of undergoing anesthesia for the purpose of breast enhancement. Many patients end up having problems with the implants themselves, whether they are ruptures, rejection or allergies. And some people just don’t like the look and feel of implants, even with the improvements made over the years. Thankfully, advancements in cosmetic surgery have yielded some truly life-changing techniques that produce natural results with minimal risks and much shorter recovery periods. Awake VASER liposuction fat transfer to breasts is currently the preferred method for patients seeking a gentler procedure with results that look and feel real. Aesthetic and Cosmetic Surgeons in Los Angeles is a boutique practice that specializes in lipo and fat grafting to the breasts. Dr. Jain and his team, which includes a gifted body sculptist, are experts at this procedure.
Awake VASER liposuction fat transfer incorporates a few steps. First, the surgeon performs an Awake VASER liposuction to extract excess fat from problem areas like the abdomen, thighs or flanks. VASER Liposuction, coloquially called the “Lamborghini of Lipo” is a next-gen, gentle procedure that uses ultrasonic waves to separate fat cells from surrounding tissue. The fat is then suctioned out. This procedure is, as the name implies, done awake. That means no general anesthesia, and none of the complications or long recovery times associated with it.
Once the surgeon has completed fat harvesting, the fat goes through an advanced purification process that guarantees only the best and healthiest fat cells are transferred. Then, it is time to do the fat injection. The surgeon targets specific parts of the breasts to increase volume and enhance contouring. The end result is naturally enhanced breasts.
This benefit speaks for itself. Awake VASER Liposuction with fat transfer to breasts yields bigger, shapelier breasts that look and feel real. Gone are the days when augmentation automatically meant a plastic appearance. Fat grafting uses the patient’s own tissue and produces natural results.
Awake VASER liposuction with fat transfer inherently benefits two or more body parts at the same time because it is essentially two procedures. You simultaneously get the benefit of fat transfer and body sculpting as well as the perk of removing undesired fat from one or more problem areas. These two procedures work hand in hand to generate a significantly improved silhouette and better body contouring.
The fact that the procedure only uses local anesthesia means that the treatment is safer and more efficient than previous generations of liposuction. Vaser technology minimises the impact on surrounding tissue, and it only requires a few 2-4 millimeter incisions to execute the procedure. All of this means less pain, less swelling, shorter healing times and significantly reduced risk of complications from the procedure. Many patients resume some or all of their normal activities the day after Awake VASER liposuction.
As mentioned earlier in this blog, utilising the patient’s own excess body fat instead of a breast implant removes the risk of rejection or allergic reactions. It also removes the risk over time of leakage, rupture and other negative health impacts that can come with leaving a foreign object inside of the body.
With fake breasts, your body contour options are essentially limited to round breast implants or teardrop breast implants. With natural breast enhancement techniques, your surgeon can customize your breasts to complement your body’s needs. Detailed body sculpting and meticulous shaping produces breasts that look completely natural - and catered to YOUR body.
At some practices, significant volume of transferred fat can be lost after the procedure. But at Aesthetic and Cosmetic Surgeons in Los Angeles, Dr. Jain’s top-notch fat purification technique and his diligent post-operative care system has eliminated most of the fat absorption that can be associated with these procedures. If you wish to avoid fat absorption, it is critical that you look at before and after pictures from the board-certified cosmetic surgeon you select, and that you follow their post-operative instructions.
Implants are still the only way to achieve significantly bigger breasts through surgery. For women who are looking for more moderate gains, patients can expect to gain about a cup size with fat transfer to breasts. The debate between the two procedures is essentially whether you want to achieve significantly larger breasts, or whether you want slightly larger, perfectly contoured breasts that look and feel natural.
A VASER Liposuction fat transfer procedure takes longer than a breast implant surgery. It requires precise, customized body contouring work, and comprises multiple steps. But once again, this comes down to patient preferences. You can select breast implants and be out of the operating room quicker, or select lipo fat transfer and get back to your routine quicker.
Awake VASER Liposuction with fat transfer to the chest costs more than a traditional breast implant procedure. It is a more advanced and more specialized approach to the area. If budget is your biggest concern, then this may not be the procedure for you. But patients that choose fat grafting are happy to spend the extra money it takes to get bigger natural breasts.
Awake surgical procedures have many benefits over unconscious procedures. The patient has the ability to communicate to their surgeon when something doesn’t feel right, or if the surgeon is being too rough. This results in less impact on surrounding tissue, and higher satisfaction with the immediate outcome of the procedure.
Many of the benefits that come with this procedure are only true for liposuctions performed with the VASER ultrasonic system. Conventional liposuction, and LASER liposuction, can be more impactful on surrounding tissues. Patients can take longer to heal and the outcome may not be as perfect. VASER’s ultrasonic technology directly targets fat cells without damaging nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. This precision (along with the absence of general anesthesia) is what yields the minimal discomfort and quick recovery times discussed above.
You can book your VASER liposuction fat transplants to the breasts at Aesthetic and Cosmetic Surgeons Los Angeles. This exciting new breakthrough in breast augmentation combines the benefits of liposculpture and fat transfer. This gentle, awake approach to surgery produces elegant, natural changes in body contour that will generate the “wow” you’re looking for without leaving you looking plastic. As with any comparison, there are pros and cons. But no other surgery offers the same level of benefits while being awake. There are a whole host of reasons why it is one of the fastest growing procedures in the field of cosmetic surgery.
