NaturalFill To Increase Breast Size- Too Good To Be True?

The idea of taking your own fat from where you have extra and putting it into the breasts has been around for a long time, but the idea of giving it a brand name is new (NaturalFill? Really? Come on.) Although the procedure was considered risky when first introduced, it is now beginning to be done more commonly due to improved methods and more science. The maximum "take" per breast is about 200-250 cc however, which is equivalent to a smaller than average breast implant. Go to a plastic surgeon experienced with this rather than looking for the best deal.

Fat grafting is a valuable tool in breast surgery. This technique has gained more popularity
over the past 7 years. There are many
techniques used to harvest the fat, process the fat and then re-inject the fat.
Conventional suction lipectomy is performed with a small diameter cannula,
processed by separating the liquid and fibrous tissue from the fat, and then
placed into syringes for re-injection or through a closed system.

Yes, it's too good to be true.  Some guy decides to slap a trademark name on fat grafting and it's a new and exciting procedure.  It's not.  The reality is they will do liposuction and inject the fat back into your breasts.  It's likely they won't wash the fat, strain it to reduce it to a small product and will inject as much as they can knowing that most of it will be reabsorbed by the body because it never got blood supply and died.

Fat grafting only works in areas of good blood supply and when the amount of fat is suitable for that blood supply to keep the fat alive.  Be smart and go with the most safe and reliable solution-implants.  All studies have indicated that breast implant are, and have always been, safe.

In a recently published study in the June 2011 issue of the Journal of Plastic
and Reconstructive Surgery, we demonstrated, using MRI measurements, a 250cc  average increase in breast size, or a doubling of breast size (116% increase)  using fat transplantation.

These and other objective  findings in our published study differ from many of the  opinions you are reading on this string about fat transplantation.  See the embedded video and attached link to study.  Certainly, there is alot of controversy on this topic,  but there is also too much opinion and we need to give patients more facts.

Apart from "branded" names for the procedure, fat transfer to the breast is effective in increasing your breast size by a variable amount.  The actual amount of breast size increase depends on:


Your breast type and size. Smaller breasts can take less graft tissue but retain the most, with the greatest "cup" size increase

The availability of fat to transfer.  This fat has to be of good quality, preferably from areas of compact, healthy tissue.

The fat tissue has to be procured with extreme care and transferred with excellent technique for the best results.


In our results, some fat "goes away" but most of it is retained with a pleasant 1/2 to 1 cup size increase.  Experience of the surgeon and track record (with follow up mammograms) is essential.
