Breast Fat Transfer
Personalised surgery. Natural-looking results. Consultant-led care.
Breast fat transfer is a natural alternative to breast implants, using your own body fat to subtly enhance the size, shape and contour of your breasts. By combining liposuction with advanced fat grafting techniques, this procedure creates soft, natural-looking results while also improving body contours in the areas where fat is removed.
At Battersea Hospital, our consultant plastic surgeons provide personalised breast fat transfer procedures designed to achieve balanced, natural enhancement that complements your unique body shape.
BOOK A CONSULTATION MEET OUR SURGEONSWhat is Breast Fat Transfer?
Breast fat transfer, also known as autologous fat grafting or fat transfer breast augmentation, is a cosmetic procedure that enhances breast volume using fat taken from another area of your own body.
The procedure begins with gentle liposuction to remove excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs or hips. The fat is then carefully purified before being strategically injected into the breasts to improve shape, restore lost volume and create subtle, natural-looking enhancement.
Unlike breast implants, fat transfer uses your own tissue, making it an excellent option for women who prefer a more natural approach to breast enhancement. It can also be used to correct minor breast asymmetry, improve contour irregularities or restore volume following pregnancy or weight loss.
While breast fat transfer can provide noticeable improvement, it is generally best suited to patients seeking a modest increase in breast size rather than a significant enlargement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know.
Appointments and Consultations
How much larger will my breasts become?
Breast fat transfer is best suited to patients seeking a modest increase in breast size, typically around half to one cup size, depending on your anatomy and the amount of fat available.
Is the transferred fat permanent?
A proportion of the transferred fat establishes a permanent blood supply and remains long term. Some of the fat is naturally reabsorbed by the body during the healing process.
Will I have scars?
Only very small incisions are required for liposuction and fat transfer. These typically heal well and become minimally noticeable over time.
Where is the fat taken from?
Fat is commonly removed from areas such as the abdomen, waist, flanks, thighs or hips, depending on where suitable donor fat is available.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients return to desk-based work within one to two weeks. Bruising and swelling gradually improve over the following few weeks, and strenuous exercise should be avoided for around four to six weeks.
Is breast fat transfer safer than implants?
Both procedures have excellent safety records when performed by experienced consultant plastic surgeons. During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss which option is most appropriate for your goals and anatomy.
Can fat transfer improve uneven breasts?
Yes. Fat transfer is commonly used to improve mild breast asymmetry and create smoother, more balanced breast contours.
When will I see my final results?
Initial improvements are visible once swelling begins to settle, with final results usually seen between three and six months after surgery, once the transferred fat has stabilised.
