Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
in Miami, FL

Dr. Keyes administers a type of anesthesia before you go into surgery. We offer local or general anesthesia, depending on your comfort level. During your recovery, you will experience symptoms such as swelling, bruising, and discomfort around the surgical site, which is entirely normal. Dr. Keyes can recommend a number of pain medication types to help you feel comfortable, and assist in your healing process.

Most fat transfer breast augmentations can be completed in one surgical appointment. We schedule a follow-up appointment for Dr. Keyes to check your progress and healing. The follow-up appointment is also important for you to share how you are feeling and what your recovery experience has been like thus far. For some patients, there may be a need for additional surgery, depending on the results or how satisfied you are.

The results of a Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation will begin to appear between 3 to 6 months post-surgery. Each patient’s recovery and results differ, but as long as you follow the directed advice for post-surgical care, and check in with Dr. Keyes throughout your recovery process, the 3 to 6-month benchmark is standard for results to become visible. As with any surgery undertaken for aesthetic reasons, you may see room for improvement if you aren’t fully satisfied with the results. It is important to discuss your expectations with Dr. Keyes during your consultation and follow his recommendations as to what kind of results will best benefit your body.

Yes, you can. You can combine a Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation with Liposuction, which is the most common procedure done at the same time. Due to the fact that augmentation requires the harvesting of fatty tissue from elsewhere in your body, it is a good idea to think about what kind of liposuction you may want to combine, and talk through your options with Dr. Keyes. If you are interested in combining another surgical procedure, such as a Tummy Tuck or Body Lift, please talk it over with Dr. Keyes during your consultation, as there are some procedures he advises against combining.

As with any surgery, there are associated risks you need to be aware of so that you can make an informed decision. Some of the most common risks associated with Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation include:

● Bleeding
● Swelling
● Bruising
● Fluid buildup
● The possibility that some of the transferred fat cells will leave the breast area
● Infection
● Dissatisfaction with the results

You can discuss the option of touch-up injections to retain your improved shape if you choose this surgery. Having a breast augmentation is a very personal decision, and each patient must balance realistic goals with the potential risks, to attain the best outcome possible.
