I’m considering using a product called “NaturalFill” to increase my bust size. Basically it transfers fat to your bust(my unscientific explanation.)I LOVE the idea of not using an implant and creating a very natural looking and feeling breast.(I only want to increase my bust about a cup size) This procedure only cost 5,000 I’ve looked on other doctors sites who offer a similar surgery for over 20,000 dollars. I live in NYC everything is expensive here. Is this too good to be true? Thank you
Answer: Fat transfer to the breast has limits but can work
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.

Answer: Fat Please find an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and member of the Aesthetic Society using the Smart Beauty Guide. These Plastic Surgeons can guide you on all aspects of facial surgery, breast augmentation and body procedures including tummy tucks or mommy makeovers! 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.

Answer: Increasing Breast Size
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.

Answer: Facts about Fat Grafting - vs Opinion
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.

Answer: Fat Transfer to the breast becoming more popular
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.
