Before your fat transfer breast augmentation, you will have a consultation with your surgeon to discuss the procedure, other treatment options and many other topics. The surgeon will want to understand you and what you are hoping to achieve so they can deliver the best results for you. The consultation provides the best opportunity for you to ask any questions and talk about anything you are unsure of. It is important to remember that no question is a silly one; your surgeon wants you to be happy with your body and for this, they will need a clear understanding of what you are going to go through.

Before your consultation for fat transfer breast augmentation, there are some things that you may want to keep in mind:


-What do you want to achieve from the surgery? Are you wanting the surgery for cosmetic reasons or to address a health concern?

-Are you willing to explore other options to achieve your desired results?

-Do you have any health issues? Are you taking any medication?

Your surgeon will want to discuss all of this with you so it is best to think about them before going to your consultation. You should also bring up any concerns and questions. Discussing these with your surgeon will ensure that your decision is the right one.

Your goals from the surgery is a big topic you will discuss with your surgeon. Everyone wants different things and how you want your breasts to appear is likely to be different from the next person. For this matter, it is important to articulate this with your surgeon rather than leaving them guessing.They will assess these goals and how realistic they are given your body and current situation. To determine whether fat transfer breast augmentation is an option for you, you will currently need to have enough fat on your body to transfer to your breasts. You should also not be planning on losing too much weight after your surgery. Also, if you are looking to correct sagging breasts, this option is unlikely to be for you and a breast lift would probably be more suitable.

You may want to change the appearance of your breasts but are unsure as to whether a fat transfer or implants are more suitable. A fat transfer will give you a more natural but smaller change of around one cup size whereas implants can come in much larger sizes. Deciding between the two procedures is a big decision and you may even choose to have both procedures done together depending on what you are looking to achieve. This is called a hybrid breast augmentation. Your surgeon will assess your situation and make recommendations based on this.

It is also important to understand that both of these procedures are different. With the fat transfer, you will first need to have liposuction where fat is extracted from another part of the body using a needle. Many women that opt for the fat transfer take advantage of this part of the procedure by having fat taken from areas on their body where they want fat to be reduced. Fat transfer breast augmentation can essentially be seen as killing two birds with one stone in this regard. With the implants, there is no liposuction involved and the implants are simply placed within the breasts once the incisions are made. Your surgeon will take you through both processes step by step to ensure that you fully understand what will happen during your surgery.

You must also be honest when discussing any health issues and whether you are taking medication, even if these are just over the counter pills! These can pose risks to your recovery, give rise to anaesthesia-related complications and leave you with results that are not what you expected. Along with this, your surgeon will discuss other topics related to your health that can affect the surgery. If you are a smoker, you may be encouraged to quit in advance of the surgery and whilst you are recovering. This is because smoking can put strain on your organs which are needed for recovery. If they are damaged in any way, this can increase the chances of complications, scarring and can mean that you take longer to fully heal. For any surgery, it is good to be in the healthiest condition possible. This will help ensure that the procedure and recovery both go as smoothly as possible. Following your consultation, your surgeon will give you further advice on how to best prepare for your fat transfer breast augmentation. This will be specific to your case to ensure that you get the best results.
