Breast lipofilling is a natural alternative to implants, combining liposuction and fat transfer for a harmonious result. Wondering how the procedure works, what to expect during recovery, or what results to anticipate? Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions
Breast lipofilling is a surgical technique involving the removal of fat from specific areas of the body (abdomen, thighs, hips), followed by purification and reinjection into the breasts. The goal is to achieve natural and harmonious volume without using implants.
Lipofilling offers a more natural and subtle enhancement with a soft result, free from foreign materials. Unlike implants, this method doesn't allow for dramatic volume increase in one session but avoids the risks associated with implants.
Some of the injected fat is naturally reabsorbed by the body in the weeks following surgery. However, the surviving fat cells integrate into the breast tissue, providing stable and long-lasting results. Volume maintenance also depends on weight fluctuations.
The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the amount of fat to be removed. The surgeon gently performs liposuction on donor areas, purifies the fat, and precisely injects it into the breasts to achieve a balanced result.
Thanks to modern techniques and anesthesia, discomfort is minimal. After the operation, patients may feel moderate soreness similar to muscle aches in the areas treated with liposuction, which is well-managed with pain relief medication.
Yes, the main advantage of lipofilling is the soft, natural feel of the result. The breasts maintain their natural texture and evolve harmoniously with the body.
Recovery is generally quick. A rest period of 4 to 7 days is recommended before resuming light activity. Intense physical exertion should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks.
Wearing a compression bra for about 6 weeks is recommended to support the breasts. Compression garments on liposuctioned areas also help optimize body contouring.
Yes, but it’s best to wait 48 hours before wetting the treated areas. Hot water and massages should be avoided in the first few days.
Light activities like walking are possible from the first week. Intense workouts and chest-related efforts should be avoided for at least 6 weeks.
A balanced diet is recommended to help stabilize your weight and support healing. Proper hydration also aids recovery.
It is advised to wait about 3 to 4 weeks before sleeping on your stomach to avoid any pressure on the newly injected breasts.
The final result is visible around 3 months after the procedure, once swelling subsides and natural fat resorption occurs. The breasts appear fuller, more harmonious, with a soft, natural texture.
Yes, post-operative check-ups are scheduled to monitor healing and assess the success of the fat graft. If greater volume is desired, a second session may be considered.
It’s important to inform your radiologist about the procedure. The breasts remain fully examinable, although some microcalcifications may appear, a natural tissue response.
Plastic surgery procedures

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to correct sagging breasts by lifting and reshaping them for a firmer, more youthful appearance. Aging, pregnancy, and weight fluctuations can affect breast firmness over time. This procedure removes excess skin and repositions the areola to restore a more toned silhouette. It can be performed on its own or combined with breast augmentation and delivers long-lasting, natural results tailored to each patient.

Depending on the refinement of the fat, the technique is referred to as microfilling or nanofilling for more targeted corrections.
