Can I Get a Natural Breast Enhancement with Fat Injections?

I heard about a natural breast enhancement in Europe where they grow your own fat cells in a lab and enlarge your breasts with your own fat cells, for people who do not care for silicone or saline. Is this even possible? Can I enlarge my breasts with fat injections from stem cells or my own body? And if so is it done in the US?

A: Stem Cell Breast Augmentation: Not Yet

I would echo the reply by the esteemed Dr. Teitelbaum. Stem cell breast augmentation is being performed in certain countries in Europe and Asia, but it is very doubtful that it will be performed here in the States for quite some time. There will need to be extensive studies that show it does not interfere with mammography or breast cancer screening first, and this process can take years and years (look at how long the gummy bear implants are taking!).

The closest thing we have today is fat grafting to the breasts which is very controversial, as this procedure has the possibility for creating changes on mammogram which can be mistaken for cancer. Fat grafting to the breast does work, but I reserve it for those patients who cannot tolerate implants and have really researched the subject. It is best for breast reconstruction after mastectomy and for people who have had major breast implant complications.

Does Breast Implant Manufacturer Matter?

One breast augmentation consultation had a surgeon talking up mentor implants. Another was suggesting Natrelle implants.  I read both mentor and Natrelle websites and can't tell a difference.  Can a plastic surgeon help me understand the differences, if any?

A: Make Sure Your Surgeon has a Relationship with the Manufacturer

I would agree with the above posters that there probably isn't a big difference between the two companies. I prefer to exclusively use one, because it allows me an opportunity to develop a strong relationship with that company. This can give me better pricing (and this lower pricing can be passed to the patient), a greater sense of comfort with their products, and the ability to interact with the manufacturer in the best interests of my patients. If the surgeon uses a bit of both (and especially if the surgeon doesn't do many breast augmentations) then there is a slight risk the best and most appropriate implant may not be used for you.
