The problem: Many factors can cause breasts to droop or lose their fullness, with the main reasons being weight loss, breast feeding, ageing and genes. It is now possible to improve the shape and size of your breasts without the need of silicon implants. Breast enlargement with fat transfer is a procedure involving the removal of fat from other areas of your body such as your legs or abdomen and transfer it into the breast area, for fuller bigger breasts.
The advantages of having Breast Enlargement with Fat Transfer are:
- Bigger breast naturally using your own fat
- No silicone breast implants
- No general anaesthetic
- No hospital stay
- Walk-in walk-out procedure
The treatment: Fat Transfer with PureGraft™ is a revolutionary system which uses an advanced technology to produce a pure and highly effective fat graft for use in autologous fat transfers making it possible to create larger breasts without the need for implants. The treatment is minimally invasive meaning there is no hospital stay and no need for general anesthetic, making the recovery far quicker than traditional breast implant surgery.
The results: Shape, firmness and fullness are restored to the breasts. As implants are not used, the final result is a soft, natural look. The fat is taken from stubborn pockets of fat typically from the abdomen or thighs, so you can also reshape ‘problem’ areas of your body that may not have responded to diet or exercise.
Downtime: Downtime is minimal. However because there may be some bruising and swelling, it is best to wait one to two weeks before you hit the gym or do any rigorous physical activity.

Some of your questions answered
What does the treatment involve?
Fat Transfer is a 2-in-1 procedure that involves the collection of fat from pockets of fat on your own body using the Vaser technique. The PureGraft™ system is then used to produce a pure and highly effective fat graft which is then injected into the breasts. The PureGraft™system uses a revolutionary filtration technology which leaves the fat cells intact.
The fat cells then integrate into the surrounding breast tissue over a number of weeks, resulting in more defined and firmer breasts.
What happens during the treatment?
PureGraft™ breast augmentation should be seen as a 2-in-1 procedure with the Vaser liposuction taking place at the first stage of the treatment. The ideal candidates for breast enlargement with Fat Transfer are those women who are keen to lose stubborn fat, typically from areas such as the thighs, abdomen and flanks together with those wanting fuller, firmer breasts.
Once the Vaser liposuction process has taken place, the refined fat will then be administered under local anesthetic, beneath and around the breast with a small needle and cannula using an advanced layering technique.
The entire procedure typically takes 3 hours to perform and can be done under local anesthetic, resulting in a quicker recovery for the patient.
Does the treatment hurt?
The procedure is carried out under local anesthetic so you won’t feel any pain at all during the treatment.
How long does treatment take?
Typically around 3 hours.
How soon will I see results?
You will see results straight away, however results will improve as the implanted fat becomes a part of your breasts during the months after treatment.
How long will the results last?
Results are permanent; however the implanted fat will change and evolve naturally as your body ages.
Are there any side effects?
Most patients will experience discomfort around the treated area for 1-3 days and may also notice a dull ache for a further 1-4 weeks. You may also notice some swelling and bruising. Possible complications include the risks outlined with the prescribed medications and the risks associated with any surgical procedure.
Is the procedure safe?
Our focus is on patient safety. Full details of possible complications will be highlighted and fully explained at consultation stage.
What aftercare is needed?
A small waterproof dressing to the injection site on your breasts will be applied, which you will need to wear for ten days. We will also prescribe a course of antibiotics to help reduce the chances of infection. You are advised to wear a supportive sports bra at least three days a week and are advised to avoid vigorous exercise for approximately three weeks.
For areas that have been treated with Vaser you will need to wear a compression garment for three weeks and avoid strenuous exercise whilst wearing it.
