Most people think that breast augmentation by fat transfer is more like Liposuction. But there’s a slight difference. Breast augmentation by fat transfer takes fat from one area of the body and places it in the breasts to make them appear more attractive. On the other hand, Liposuction is a procedure used to remove fat from unwanted body areas.
You have to be a healthy, middle-aged, non-smoker, and have excess fat in some body areas for you to be an ideal candidate for this procedure. The fat used in this procedure is extracted from body areas such as the tummy, thighs, hips, and flanks. Fine cannulas or medical tubes are used to remove and transfer the fat. As you can tell, this procedure is complicated and has to be performed by an experienced surgeon.
