Natural Breast Augmentation: An Alternative to Implants
Many women wish that their breasts could be larger and fuller than they currently are. However, it’s true that not everyone sees artificial implants and major surgery as a part of the personal goals they have for their body. In such cases, a procedure called natural breast augmentation, may be just the right fit.
As an alternative to implants, it uses unwanted, stubborn fat from other parts of the body to enlarge the breasts. In doing so, locations where fat was taken are artistically sculpted and improved as an added benefit. While this best of both worlds scenario may sound too good to be true, for many patients, it can be
the real solution to achieving the natural results they long for.
How Does it Work?
In order to enhance the size and shape of the breasts, natural breast augmentation combines different steps and procedures. First, an advanced liposuction technique is used to remove portions of unwanted fat from areas such as the butt, thighs or back.
Once the fat has been suctioned away, it is then purified and injected into the breasts to increase volume.Not only can this form of augmentation be used to address dissatisfaction with smaller breasts, it can also be used for improving asymmetry issues or reconstruction after breast cancer.
How Does it Compare to Implants?
When comparing breast enlargement with fat transfer to that of implants, there are quite a few distinct differences. For example, natural breast augmentation is able to increase breast size noticeably, but in a more subtle and natural way. In general, the procedure can increase breasts up to 1/2 to 1 cup sizes. For larger enhancement goals, surgery with one of the different implant types may be a better option.
Another difference is that natural breast augmentation provides contouring of other areas of the body. This can result in an improvement of the overall figure, whereas implants are only focused on breast enlargement. Other aspects and benefits of natural breast augmentation include:
- No general anesthesia
- Minimal incisions
- Reduced scarring
- Breasts look and feel more natural
- Capsular contracture and rippling aren’t risks
- No implant replacement/removal factors involved
- Faster recovery with minimal downtime
A Natural Way to Achieve Fuller Breasts
Essentially, what natural breast augmentation boils down to is a safe procedure which transfers from one trouble spot to increase and better another area. In the past, the idea of this may have just been a distant daydream for women, but now, modern advances in technology and plastic surgery have made it all safely possible.
