Lipomodelling breast augmentation is a method for slightly increasing breast volume using one's own fatty tissue.
Unlike breast implants, this technique does not introduce any foreign material into the body. The fat is extracted from certain areas where it is abundant in the patient, such as the hips, abdomen or thighs, via liposuction. Once this fat has been treated and purified, it is reinjected into the chest to increase its volume.
However, the increase obtained is generally modest, as a fraction of the transferred fat can be eliminated by the body (around 30/30 on average). To achieve the desired volume, a second procedure may be required.
The main advantage of lipofilling is that it uses the patient's own tissue, making the breasts as natural as possible.
Breast augmentation by lipofilling takes advantage of your fat to increase the volume of your breast in a harmonious way, offering a natural result. It also makes it possible to correct any asymmetry.
Once the transplant is performed, the result is long-lasting, and the volume of the breast evolves according to changes in your own fat mass.
This technique makes it possible to increase breast volume almost without leaving visible scars.
The main disadvantage is that the volume increase obtained is generally less significant than with implants. Also the round shape of the prosthesis is not found here.

General
1h for prostheses & 1 to 3 hours for fat injections
The fat is removed using fine cannulas, then treated and purified before being reinjected into the breasts.
After the procedure, bruises and swelling may appear.
Relatively few breast pains that are often more painful in the liposuction areas.
It is advisable to avoid intense physical exertion for 2 weeks and to follow the surgeon's recommendations for local care.
The price varies from 5500€ and 7000€ depending on demand.
The final result of breast lipofilling usually occurs between 3 and 6 months. Although the result is solid and long-lasting, it is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle and maintain a constant weight.
More and more women are opting for this intervention, and those who have experienced it are generally very happy with the results. An additional advantage of lipofilling is that it promotes a slimmer figure thanks to the associated liposuction procedure.

It is possible to use the Urgotouch laser immediately after surgery to promote the attenuation of scars.
Breast lipofilling surgery is performed under general anesthesia.
Some of the injected fat may be absorbed by the body, but once stabilized (after a few months), the result is generally long-lasting.
Relatively few breast pains that are often more painful in the liposuction areas.
Like any surgical procedure, breast lipofilling has risks, although rare, such as infections, cysts or fat balls, or excessive resorption. A thorough consultation will allow these risks to be assessed and minimized.
My approach is initially to listen to patients in order to determine if their expectations are realistic and achievable and if the risk-benefit ratio is in favor of an intervention.
