Plastic Surgeon Reveals the Truth About Fat Transfer Augmentation

Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon Explains Fat Transfer Realities Breast augmentation is a popular cosmetic procedure, and fat transfer is a common technique. However, understanding the procedure's limitations is crucial. Dr. Daniel Barrett, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, recently clarified the typical fat loss after a fat transfer augmentation. In a short video, he explained that patients should expect a 30-50% fat loss post-procedure, resulting in approximately a half-cup size increase. This means that patients aiming for a significant increase in breast size may require multiple procedures. "Fat is a little bit unpredictable," Dr. Barrett noted in his video. He contrasted this with breast implants, which offer more predictable results. While implants have potential complications, fat transfer's inherent unpredictability requires realistic expectations. Dr. Barrett's video serves as a helpful resource for prospective patients, providing realistic expectations and promoting informed decision-making. The information emphasizes the importance of consulting with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss individual needs and expectations.
