Book an appointmentWhat is breast lipofilling?
Breast lipofilling is an innovative cosmetic surgery technique that provides an alternative to traditional breast augmentation with implants. Instead of using prosthetic implants, this method utilises the patient’s own fat, harvested from specific areas of her body, to naturally enhance breast volume. Although not as widely known as implant-based augmentation, it offers distinct advantages and may be an ideal option for patients who prefer a more natural approach without implants.
Why choose breast lipofilling?
Breast lipofilling, also known as fat transfer breast augmentation, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that has gained attention for its more natural approach to enhancing breast volume.
However, it is important to note that results can vary depending on several factors, including the amount of fat available for transfer and how the patient’s body responds to the procedure.
One of the main advantages of breast lipofilling is that it uses the patient’s own fat rather than implants. This eliminates the risk of rejection, even though such complications are extremely rare with traditional breast implants.
The benefits of breast lipofilling
- Uses autologous fat, reducing the risk of rejection
- Natural breast augmentation without implants
- Harmonious and personalised results
- Refines the areas where fat is harvested, creating a more sculpted silhouette
- Reduces complications associated with breast implants
- Combines breast augmentation and body contouring
Frequently asked questions
Who is breast lipofilling intended for?
Breast lipofilling is a cosmetic surgery procedure that offers a natural alternative to traditional breast augmentation. However, it is essential to understand that this procedure is not suitable for all women.
You’ll be an ideal candidate for breast lipofilling if you’re looking to moderately increase the volume of their breasts while improving their shape and symmetry. In addition, you should have sufficient fat in other parts of the body, which can be harvested for re-injection into the breasts.
It’s also crucial to have realistic expectations about the results of the procedure. Breast lipofilling offers a natural, moderate increase in breast volume, but cannot provide the same degree of augmentation as breast implants.
How much does lipofilling cost?
At Claris Clinic, we are committed to offering our services at a fair price while upholding the highest standards of quality and safety. The cost of breast lipofilling varies according to several factors, including the complexity of the procedure and each patient’s individual needs. We invite you to book a consultation, where we can discuss your goals in detail and provide a personalised quotation.
What are the risks and complications of breast lipofilling?
As with any surgical procedure, breast lipofilling carries certain risks such as infection, bleeding, blood clots, and reactions to anaesthesia. Complications specific to breast lipofilling may include insufficient survival of the injected fat cells, which may require additional interventions.
Does breast lipofilling affect breastfeeding?
Breast lipofilling generally does not affect a woman’s ability to breastfeed. However, each case is unique and depends on the technique used, the amount of fat injected and the location of the injections. It is important to discuss your breastfeeding plans with your surgeon before the procedure.
Can breast lipofilling correct breast asymmetry?
Yes, breast lipofilling can be used to correct breast asymmetry. By injecting different amounts of fat into each breast, your surgeon can create a more symmetrical appearance.
Does breast lipofilling leave scars?
Breast lipofilling leaves minimal scars. The incisions made for fat injection are very small and are generally placed in discreet areas to minimize the visibility of scars.
Is breast lipofilling painful?
Any surgical procedure can cause some discomfort. However, pain after breast lipofilling is usually manageable with pain medication prescribed by your surgeon. Most patients report a significant improvement in pain in the days following surgery.
When can I resume sport after breast lipofilling?
It is generally recommended to resume strenuous physical activity around 6 weeks after surgery. However, each patient is unique and the precise timing will depend on your individual recovery rate. It is important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

The result
It takes around 3 to 6 months to fully appreciate the results of breast lipofilling, as the breasts gradually regain their suppleness and the injected fat stabilises. While perfection is not the goal, realistic expectations can be met, and the increase in breast volume often enhances the overall silhouette, allowing greater freedom in clothing choices.
