BREAST ENLARGEMENT THROUGH FAT GRAFTING

We don't perform and we don’t recommend fat transfer for breast augmentation for several reasons:

1) Fat transfer can only provide a modest increase in size, typically less than 150cc - 200cc, whereas the average implant size ranges from 350cc to 400cc, resulting in a more substantial size increase.

2) Additionally, fat injections must be placed deep into the pectoral muscle and its fascia.

3) Fat grafting may require multiple sessions, and there's a limit to how much fat can be transferred, even if a large amount is taken from another part of your body.

4) Some patients may need to undergo skin expansion with a BRAVA device before fat grafting, which can be cumbersome and inconvenient.

5) Achieving significant breast augmentation with fat alone is challenging, and the longevity of the results is unpredictable.

6) Medical studies have demonstrated that injecting fat containing stem cells into the breasts (an organ highly prone to cancer - with one in nine women developing breast cancer in their lifetime), can pose significant risks. This is because injecting fat into the breast is similar to introducing a substantial amount of stem cells near or among a cluster of precancerous cells in the organ. Consider the potential consequences if a surgeon were to inject stem cells into undetected cancer cells. The outcome could be drastic, potentially increasing the risk of cancer development or stimulating the growth of existing cancer to become more aggressive.

7) Another issue linked with fat transfer is the risk of calcification, resulting in the death of fat cells. When these deceased fat cells reach a certain size, they can form cysts, potentially impairing the clarity of mammograms.




TRANSUMBILICAL BREAST AUGMENTATION (TUBA) – Incision through the navel

Putting breast implants in through the belly button might sound like a neat idea and has been a clever selling point for lots of plastic surgeons for over ten years.
Who wouldn't want just a tiny scar in their belly button and no marks on their breasts? … The truth isn't as great as it sounds!
We've seen some patients who've had really good outcomes from this approach, but we've also seen some disasters.
We don't offer TUBA breast augmentation at our facility for several reasons, including:

1) At our facility, we exclusively use the latest generation gummy bear implants, which cannot be inserted through the belly button. 
This technique is only feasible with saline implants because the pathway from the belly button to the breast area must accommodate a small, foldable implant that is later filled.

2) Inserting an implant through the belly button doesn’t give your surgeon the precision needed to release the pectoralis muscle properly when creating the implant pocket. Creating a submuscular pocket, which is crucial for properly placing an implant, isn't done in an ideal environment when using the belly button as the entry point due to the distance between the belly button and the breast area.
This increases the likelihood of the implant sitting too high or too far to the side in your breast. 

3) With this method, there's a greater risk of unevenness and asymmetry compared to traditional breast augmentation techniques.

4) Using this technique means your saline implants are no longer covered by the company warranty.

5) This technique carries a higher risk of complications such as bleeding, capsular contracture, and an increased risk of infection.

Definitely, the TUBA procedure doesn't provide the surgeon with enough precise, meticulous control during the operation.
Using standard incisions (such as around the nipple or at the breast crease), allows for full access to the breast area for creating the pocket, whether it's below or above the muscle. 
With standard incision, you can choose between silicone gel or saline implants. This is our recommended approach for breast augmentation, and it's one that most board-certified plastic surgeons would likely support as well.

TEXTURED BREAST IMPLANTS - Implants with a sandpapery, not smooth surface

In 2018 We've made the decision to discontinue the use of textured breast implants due to a major concern regarding their association with a very rare type of cancer called BIA-ALCL (Breast Implant Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma). While many plastic surgeons in the USA and around the world continue to use textured breast implants, it's ultimately a decision each surgeon makes with their patients, weighing the risks against the benefits.
