Before breast lipofilling
Before breast lipofilling, you must have a consultation with the surgeon to
examine you and evaluate your case, whether you can undergo this intervention or not.
He will ask
you questions about your medical history (your weight variations, previous surgeries, if you suffer
from certain diseases or if you are taking medications…).
You will also discuss with him about
your desires and the process of this procedure : its results, recovery, advantages…
Smoking,
drinking alcohol and taking aspirin must be stopped before six weeks of the intervention.
The
surgeon will give you blood analysis and a mammography to do before breast lipofilling.
How is breast lipofilling performed ?
Breast lipofilling realized in Egypt is performed under general
anaesthesia, lasts approximately 3 hours depending on each patient and the length of
hospitalization is of 2 nights.
The fat injected into the breasts is taken from another
part of the patient's silhouette (the thighs, hips, buttocks, belly…) and the practitioner
will use liposuction, or lipoaspiration to remove it from these areas.
He will make fine
incisions in the natural folds of the skin before inserting small cannulas with rounded,
non-sharp ends directly into the area with excess fat to be reinjected into the breasts.
This fat will be sucked out by a liposuction machine, it must also be treated and refined.
To do this, the practitioner will wash, clean the fat, sieve it and remove all the most
fibrous fat cells in order to make the injectable fat more fluid.
This fat is then
centrifuged and evenly distributed in the breasts. The surgeon uses fine cannulas for this
purpose.

What are the advantages of breast lipofilling ?
Breast lipofilling offers several advantages. Here are some of the key advantages :
- Natural-looking and feeling results : Breast lipofilling uses the patient's own fat cells harvested from other areas of the body (such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips) to enhance the breasts. Because the fat is from your own body, the results tend to look and feel more natural compared to synthetic implants.
- Dual benefit of liposuction : In addition to enhancing the breasts, liposuction is used to harvest fat from areas with excess fat deposits. This can provide the added benefit of body contouring, as unwanted fat is removed from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, resulting in improved overall body proportions.
- Minimally invasive procedure : Breast lipofilling is a minimally invasive procedure that involves small incisions for both liposuction and fat transfer. Compared to traditional breast augmentation with implants, which requires larger incisions and placement of implants, breast lipofilling typically involves shorter recovery times and less scarring.
- Reduced risk of complications : Because breast lipofilling uses the patient's own fat cells rather than synthetic implants, there is a reduced risk of certain complications such as capsular contracture (the hardening of scar tissue around implants) and implant rupture or leakage.
- Customizable results : Breast lipofilling allows for a more customizable outcome, as the surgeon can sculpt and shape the breasts according to the patient's desired size and contour. This can result in more personalized and natural-looking results compared to one-size-fits-all implants.
- Long-lasting results : The fat cells that survive the transfer process become a permanent part of the breasts, providing long-lasting results. While some fat may be reabsorbed by the body in the months following the procedure, the majority of transferred fat typically remains in place.
- Versatility : Breast lipofilling can be used for various purposes, including breast augmentation, breast reconstruction after mastectomy, correction of breast asymmetry, and enhancement of breast shape and contour.
It is important to note that while breast lipofilling offers many advantages, it may not be suitable for everyone. The amount of fat available for transfer, the desired size and shape of the breasts, and individual anatomy will all influence the feasibility and outcome of the procedure. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon is essential to determine if breast lipofilling is the right option for you or not and to discuss your specific goals and expectations.
How to sleep after a breast lipofilling ?
Sleeping comfortably after breast lipofilling (also known as fat transfer to the breasts) requires some adjustments to minimize pressure on the treated areas and ensure proper healing. Here are some tips for sleeping after a breast lipofilling :
- Elevate your upper body : Sleeping with your upper body elevated can help reduce swelling and discomfort in the treated areas. Consider using extra pillows to prop yourself up into a semi-upright position or using a wedge pillow designed for elevation.
- Avoid putting pressure on the breasts : To minimize pressure on the breasts and surrounding areas, try to avoid sleeping on your stomach or directly on your side. Instead, sleep on your back with your upper body elevated, or choose a side-sleeping position with pillows positioned to support your arms and chest without putting direct pressure on the breasts.
- Use soft supportive pillows : Place soft, supportive pillows under your arms, between your breasts, and along your sides to help maintain a comfortable sleeping position and prevent rolling onto your stomach or side during the night.
- Wear a supportive bra : Your surgeon may recommend wearing a supportive bra or compression garment while sleeping to provide additional support and help minimize movement of the breasts during the healing process. Follow your surgeon's instructions regarding when and how long to wear the bra or garment.
- Stay hydrated : Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated, as this can help reduce swelling and promote healing. However, try to avoid drinking large amounts of fluids right before bedtime to minimize the need to get up during the night.
- Take pain medication as needed : If you experience discomfort or pain while sleeping, take any prescribed pain medication as directed by your surgeon. This can help alleviate discomfort and improve your ability to sleep more comfortably.
- Follow your surgeon's recommendations : Your surgeon will provide specific instructions for sleeping and resting after breast lipofilling based on your individual needs and the extent of your procedure. Follow these recommendations closely to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
How long does breast lipofilling last ?
The longevity of breast lipofilling results can vary from one person to another and depends on several factors, including individual anatomy, lifestyle factors, and the technique that is used during the procedure. In general, the fat that survives the transfer process becomes a permanent part of the breasts, providing long-lasting results. However, it is important to understand that some of the transferred fat may be reasorbed by the body in the months following the procedure.
Studies have shown that approximately 60-80% of the transferred fat typically remains viable and becomes permanent in the breasts. The remaining fat may be reabsorbed by the body or undergo changes over time. Factors that can affect the longevity of breast lipofilling results include :
- Technique and expertise : The skill and experience of the surgeon performing the procedure can influence the survival of transferred fat cells. Using meticulous technique and proper handling of harvested fat cells can help optimize the survival rate of transferred fat.
- Postoperative care : Following the surgeon's postoperative instructions, including wearing compression garments and avoiding activities that may disrupt the healing process, can help promote the survival of transferred fat cells and enhance the longevity of results.
- Weight fluctuations : Significant fluctuations in body weight can affect the size and shape of the breasts, including transferred fat cells. Maintaining a stable weight through healthy lifestyle habits can help preserve the results of breast lipofilling.
- Aging and changes in body composition : As a person ages, the body undergoes natural changes in fat distribution and composition, which can affect the appearance of the breasts over time. While the transferred fat cells are permanent, changes in body composition may influence the overall contour of the breasts.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding can also affect the size and shape of the breasts. Women who undergo breast lipofilling should be aware that pregnancy and breastfeeding may cause changes to the breasts, potentially impacting the longevity of lipofilling results.
Overall, while breast lipofilling can provide long-lasting enhancement to the breasts, individual results may vary, and additional touch-up procedures may be desired over time to maintain or further enhance the results. It is essential to discuss the expected longevity of results and any potential factors that may affect them with your plastic surgeon during the consultation process.
