Fat transfer breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery technique that enhances the breasts by using a patient’s own fat, which is carefully removed from other areas of the body and then injected into the breasts to improve their size and contour.
Considering a breast augmentation but afraid to go with implants? You are one of many. Increasing numbers of women are learning about fat transfer breast augmentation and are looking at this “all natural” alternative, and one of the Beverly Hills fastest growing cosmetic procedures.
Dr. Babak Moein at Moein Surgical Arts is skilled in high-end fat transfer procedures that use VASER liposuction, the latest VASER, and high-definition fat grafting for unrivaled, naturally pleasing results. Everything you should know about fat transfer augmentation in 2025 is covered in this in-depth guide.
Fat transfer breast augmentation uses fat from your body to enlarge your breasts. Surgeons suction fat cells from several areas of your body and then inject the fat cells into your breasts. Your breasts get bigger while the areas of your body that lost fat cells get smaller.
This innovative procedure, also known as natural breast augmentation or autologous fat grafting, offers a “two-for-one” benefit: body contouring through liposuction combined with breast enhancement using your own tissue.
The procedure involves three precise steps:
1. Fat Harvesting with VASER Liposuction The surgeon uses liposuction to remove fat from the donor site – typically the abdomen or flank areas, but fat can be harvested from anywhere. At Moein Surgical Arts, Dr. Moein uses advanced VASER technology for gentler fat extraction, which improves fat cell survival rates.
2. Fat Processing and Purification The fat is harvested into a closed, sterile container. There are different systems for how you harvest that fat – the fluid is then drained off, which you have to do when it comes to the breast. This critical step ensures only the healthiest fat cells are used for transfer.
3. Precise Fat Injection The surgeon takes that supernatant (pure) fat and injects it with a very small (less than 3mm) cannula using multiple passes into the breast itself. This technique allows for precise control over volume and shape, creating natural-looking results.
Not everyone is an eligible candidate for the procedure. The thin people who lack a significant amount of body fat are perhaps not eligible for fat transfers. Your provider has to be able to harvest greater than they are transplanting fat cells since some die during the procedure
Ideal Candidates are:
Healthy women who desire small to medium size augmentation (1-2 cup sizes)
Sufficient donor fat in areas like abdomen, thighs, or flanks
Stable weight for at least 6 months
Non-smokers (heavy smoking strongly affects healing and fat viability)
Reasonable expectations for results and length
Good skin elasticity in the breast area

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation:
Fat grafting to the breast is more expensive than a breast augmentation using implants. That may seem counter intuitive since you’re using your own fat, but you are really getting two procedures: breast augmentation and Lipo 360!
While fat transfer typically involves a higher initial investment, implants often require replacement surgery every 10-15 years. Think of it as choosing between a higher upfront cost versus potential long-term maintenance expenses.
Sometimes the answer to fat transfer breast augmentation vs implants isn’t either/or, it’s a combination! The combination method is increasingly popular for the patient desiring the predictable volume of the implant and the softer natural contouring achievable only through fat.
