What is Breast Lift with Fat Transfer?
This option is a combination procedure that can subtly augment the breasts using your own fat tissue while also lifting the breasts into a more youthful and upright position. The benefits of this type of procedure include using your own natural fat (collected through liposuction on a fatty area) to enhance the breasts rather than implants and the risks that come with them. Additionally, this means you can achieve some contouring on your chosen donor area. The result is a rejuvenated breast profile with reduced sagging and flatness.
Breast Lift with Fat Transfer Candidates
Women who can benefit most from this procedure include those who experienced negative changes in their breasts from factors like pregnancy, weight loss, or the process of aging. It’s important that you have enough fat on an area of your body that can be collected through liposuction, and Dr. Diktaban can give you the best idea of what to expect. Additionally, it’s important that you be healthy enough for a surgical procedure. To get the best results, you should have no further plans for having children, since pregnancy can negatively affect your results.
What Happens During Breast Lift with Fat Transfer?
A breast lift with fat transfer can be performed at our in-house, certified surgical facility with cocktail or general anesthesia. This combination procedure begins with liposuction on a predetermined area that has enough fatty tissue. This requires a small incision through which a cannula and surgical vacuum can be inserted. With a gentle technique, the fatty tissue is broken up and extracted. Then, the fat is prepared for injection. Once the breast lift procedure is performed, the fat can be carefully injected into each breast to create your new profile and shape. Once complete, you can return home.
Results and Recovery
Your recovery from a breast lift with fat transfer will be similar to a recovery from any other plastic surgery procedure, so count on taking at least a week away from work and responsibilities. During this time, you should count on resting and avoiding heavy activities. You’ll be fitted with a special surgical bra which you should wear according to instructions. You may also wear a compression garment at your donor site to help reduce swelling. You can expect some discomfort which can be managed with prescribed medications. Your swelling will totally subside over the course of a few months, but the result is rejuvenated, youthful breasts.

Cocktail Anesthesia
Cocktail anesthesia is Dr. Diktaban’s preferred tool for ensuring your procedure is relaxing and low-risk. Dr. Diktaban has used cocktail anesthesia for surgical procedures for over 10 years with resounding success. Patients are safe and comfortable during the entire procedure. It is predictable and consistent for men and women of all ages. There are no IVs or any tubes down your nose or throat. Patients describe the experience as “floating comfortably”. Patients are even allowed and instructed to have a light breakfast before coming to the office for their procedure. The cocktail anesthesia entails the ingestion of a few pills followed by two medicine injections into the arm. One big advantage with cocktail anesthesia is that during body contouring procedures, the patients are able to turn their body into different positions that enables Dr. Diktaban to sculpt their bodies in an enhanced manner. The following list of procedures can be performed under cocktail anesthesia: browlifts, facelifts, eyelid lifts, necklifts, liposuction, BBLs (buttock enlargement), fat transfer to the breasts, breast lifts, FaceTite, AccuTite, and BodyTite. Learn more about how cocktail anesthesia can transform your surgical experience during your consultation.
