Autologous Fat or Silicone
Risk assessment in breast enlargement
Almost 70,000 women choose to have breast augmentation each year in Germany. The motives are clear: The bust has always been considered a central expression of femininity and is therefore the reason why this cosmetic surgery is performed most frequently in Germany. The decision to undergo a breast augmentation is made for almost 100 percent aesthetic reasons and is independent of the woman's age.
For two-thirds of all procedures, the established silicone implants are used. A further third opts for the fat transfer variant for breast augmentation. This has not been performed for some time in the MediBeauty Clinic in Istanbul for aesthetic reasons and due to medical risks.

Breast Augmentation with Autologous Fat
Breast augmentation with autologous fat takes about 1-2 hours and can be performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia. First, the fatty tissue is removed from the desired areas of the body using liposuction. Immediately after removal, the suctioned fat is cleaned and filtered multiple times until pure body fat remains. This autologous fat is injected through two small incisions on the outer and inner sides of the breast.
Subsequently, the plastic surgeon shapes the breast to optimally distribute the fat. However, the result is not visible immediately after the operation, as only 50-80% of the injected fat cells survive and integrate. The rule is: the more fat cells that are injected near a small blood vessel, the higher the likelihood that they will survive in the first crucial 3-5 days. However, it is not possible to accurately predict how much of the injected autologous fat the tissue will retain before the surgery. Typically, only about 70 percent of the introduced fatty tissue integrates into the breast, while the remaining 30 percent is absorbed by the body.
The extent to which the autologous fat heals varies from patient to patient. The final result can only be assessed months after the surgery. If only a small number of fat cells integrate, it may be necessary to repeat the breast augmentation with autologous fat to maintain the initial breast volume.

Risk Assessment of Specialists
In a breast augmentation using autologous fat (lipofilling), body fat tissue is taken from other areas of the body, processed, and injected into the breast. Since a significant portion of the fat is naturally broken down over time, several sessions are often necessary. Moreover, the result can be uneven, causing the breasts to appear asymmetrical.
Our partner surgeons advise against this method as it does not guarantee a permanent increase in volume, and the aesthetic result is difficult to predict. For a stable and long-term harmonious breast shape, they instead recommend high-quality breast implants, which are significantly more reliable and allow for a controlled, symmetrical outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a breast augmentation with autologous fat?
In a breast augmentation with autologous fat, the patient’s own fatty tissue is extracted and evenly injected into the breast. The necessary autologous fat is taken from suitable donor areas such as the thighs, buttocks, or abdomen and targeted where it is needed. The extracted fat is processed during the operation and then injected under the skin and behind the gland using very fine cannulas. Only small stitches are necessary, resulting in minimal scars.
What are the results of a breast augmentation with autologous fat?
The breast feels very natural after enlargement with autologous fat. There is also no need to worry about scars after the operation, as the autologous fat is simply injected into the breast with a syringe, and no incision is required as with implants.
How does breast augmentation with fat transfer work?
The operation consists of two phases: the preparatory liposuction and the subsequent breast enlargement with autologous fat. The one to two-hour operation is performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia and is usually carried out on an outpatient basis. A longer hospital stay is not necessary.
Are predictions of the surgical outcome possible in autologous fat breast augmentations?
No predictions are possible because the adipose tissue breaks down again after a short time, leaving unsightly asymmetries. Furthermore, it is not possible to foresee how the body will accept the injected fat.
How much fat is needed for a breast augmentation with autologous fat?
For each breast, about 400 to 600 cc of aspiratable fat tissue is needed. Stretched skin in the breast area is advantageous. Patients who have previously had breast implants therefore qualify well. The skin envelope of the breast does not need to be stretched before the operation.
