Breast Fat Injection
Breast augmentation can be performed by fat transfer into the breast. In order to perform fat transfer into the breast shape, fat cells are harvested from a different area of the body and then these fats are prepared and transferred into the breast. While some of the transferred fat melts and disappears over time, some of them live here and become permanent. With fat transfer to the breast, breast augmentation cannot be achieved as large as it is the case with breast implants. Fat transfer may be a good option for people who want a smaller volume increase or who desire a more natural appearance.
What is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?
Fat transfer breast augmentation surgery is a surgery recommended for people who are not satisfied with breast volume but do not consider breast prosthesis.
In this procedure, fat cells harvested from an area of the body with excess fat is transferred. Firstly, it should be decided from where the fat cells will be harvested from the patient. After determining the areas to harvest fat cells, how much fat cells will be harvested should be planned. The fat is made ready for transfer in an enclosed system without contact with air.
Afterwards, fat transfer is performed in both breast shapes. In breast fat transfer surgeries, there is no scarring except for the incisions made for fat cells harvesting. Fat harvesting incisions are approximately 0.5 cm in size. Over time, the scars on these incisions disappear.

Testimonials About Our Services
My experience with Dr Burak was amazing I flew from Spain and it was the best decision ever, excellent job and so professional I recommend it for sure
I have been Burak's patient for a long time. He has been successfully delivering his services at the best of quality and profession. His Clinic TrustMed is also a beautiful, comfortable and hygienic place equipped with clean and high-tech equipment. I would recommend him for any plastic surgeries.
I had prominent ear surgery a 2month ago and I was very pleased with the result. Doctor Burak is a very friendly, kind and talented doctor, he performed the surgery as I wanted and produced a wonderful result, I'm really gratefull to him and I'm going to tell everyone about my experience..
Though still active, by my late 40s I had grown some small love handles and a bit of a tummy. I found Quartz Clinique on Google but was impressed enough by videos and reviews to schedule a trip to do a hi-def lipo procedure with Dr. Burak. Literally overnight (after a 6 hour surgery under general anesthesia), my sides are now flat and I have 6-pack abs that I had no idea were under there! A year later I’m still amazed every time I see myself in a mirror. I’ve just made another trip because I discovered just how many services they perform, and at a fraction of the price of doing the same work in the U.S., but I’m realizing I’m remiss for not gushing about my experience last summer, which was transformational. As everyone attests, Dr. Burak could not be more kind or professional. After a consultation you walk away feeling 100% trust, and then he delivers on exactly what he says he’ll do. I can’t recommend him highly enough…
Thanks Dr. Burak for so amazing job, i’m more than happy with these amazing results, may god protect your amazing hands, for continuing making people smile and good looking

This procedure is used for breast augmentation or shaping and is typically performed as part of breast aesthetic surgeries. Fat injection offers a natural alternative to increase breast volume or improve breast contour without the use of breast implants. Since the patient's fat tissue is used in this procedure, the risk of tissue rejection is low, resulting in more natural and long-lasting results.

Are You A Good Candidate For Breast Fat Injection?
You are a good candidate for breast fat injection if you:

- stopped breastfeeding at least a year ago,
- have no problem in the examination of your breast tissue with imaging methods (mammography, breast USG),
- are determined to undergo cosmetic surgeries to have your desired body.
Preoperative Preparation and Operation Process
Breast fat injection is typically performed as a surgical procedure and involves the following steps:
- Fat Harvesting (Liposuction): Initially, the necessary fat tissue for fat injection is harvested from another area of the body, typically the abdomen, hips, or thighs, using liposuction. This step is used to obtain the fat tissue required for the procedure.
- Fat Preparation: The harvested fat tissue is processed and prepared through a specialized procedure. This involves separating and cleaning the fat from its pure cells, making it ready for injection.
- Injection: The prepared fat tissue is then injected into the breast tissue using a thin cannula or syringe. Injections are administered evenly across different areas of the breast tissue according to the need.
Final Check-Up and Recovery: After the injection procedure, final checks are conducted to ensure the symmetry of the breast tissue and achieve the desired appearance. The recovery process begins, and the patient is instructed to follow recommended guidelines to complete the healing process.
