What to Know About Recovery from Breast Augmentation with Fat TransferIf you desire to reshape your breasts, a breast augmentation with a fat transfer can be an ideal way to boost your appearance. The recovery period can be minimal to other breast augmentation procedures. This is because the incisions made are smaller in comparison. Below is what you need to know about the recovery period from breast augmentation with a fat transfer.


First Weeks After Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer

The outpatient procedure for a breast augmentation with a fat transfer is done using a general anesthesia. While you may experience some soreness and bruising, you may be able to resume moderate activities within a couple days of recovery after the procedure. Work may be resumed after a week, depending on the level of activity. Avoid doing any strenuous activity, such as sports participation or heavy lifting. You can use over-the-counter pain medications to help reduce any pain or discomfort.

6 Months After Breast Augmentation with a Fat Transfer

Within approximately three to six months after a breast augmentation with a fat transfer recovery, most of the swelling should be gone. Your breasts may now feel normal with firmness and comfort level. The final evaluation for the fat transfer result may be done by the surgeon at this time.

One Year After Breast Augmentation with a Fat Transfer

A year after your breast augmentation with a fat transfer recovery, your breasts should be in their final shape. Because the cells from the fat transfer are fully integrated, the results are permanent with no need for additional fat transfers. Your breasts may still change shape over time as you age. A healthy diet and regular exercise can help you maintain your results.
