A comparison of the two surgical methods shows that, in contrast to breast augmentation with autologous fat, augmentation with implants is one of the best-researched surgical methods. The implants used today are high-tech products of the highest quality - there is no more leakage and the implant can remain in the body for a lifetime without any problems or harmful consequences. The manufacturers even give a lifetime guarantee on many product features!
If performed correctly, augmentation with autologous fat is also a very safe surgical method. However, as many patients either have little of their own fat or want a larger change than is possible with the existing fat, augmentation with autologous fat is only an option in rare cases.
Inquire at the consultation. Any reputable specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery will inform you about the advantages and disadvantages of breast augmentation with autologous fat or implants.
Breast augmentation with autologous fat and implants can achieve very natural results
.These combination procedures are being used more and more frequently because the breast volume and shape can be altered specifically and individually. The implant is used to increase the volume. Existing asymmetries can be compensated for very precisely with the autologous fat. In addition, the autologous fat makes the skin softer and thicker, which means that the implant can be better covered. Particularly in thin women with little existing breast tissue, for example, the visibility of unattractive implant edges can be prevented.
In most cases, the upper part of the implant is covered by the muscle (method: insertion of the implant under the pectoral muscle).
There is often little autologous tissue in the lower area of the breast crease. As a result, the implant is sometimes noticeable or even visible. Through the targeted use of autologous fat, these areas can be retouched by thickening and a very natural result can be achieved. Only a small amount of fat is required for this method. It is therefore also possible and helpful for slim patients. The body's own fat is harvested from fat deposits, washed and specially prepared and injected into the surgical area after the implants have been inserted. An often appreciated side effect is that bulky fat deposits (such as on the abdomen, flanks, outer thighs, etc.) are suctioned out, which also improves the contour. Such an operation takes about 2 hours and costs CHF 12,400.
