Lipofilling after smaller breasts

Pregnancy affects your life in general, and your body in particular. In fact, for a lot of women, breast volume decreases after childbirth. Lipofilling with your own fat then becomes a possibility. Not to get bigger breasts than before, but to restore the lost volume.

How does lipofilling work?

Lipofilling consists of three steps. First, excess fat is removed from the abdomen or hips. After liposuction, this own fat is processed to increase the survival rate of the fat cells. Finally, the fat is injected together through a thin tube into the breast. You see the effect immediately, it is even a little more swollen right after the procedure. After 3 to 6 months, the final result of the procedure is visible. If too few inserted fat cells survive, another treatment may be necessary.

Good to know: the new fat cells react just as they did before surgery. As a result, your breasts will also follow your weight fluctuations. If you gain weight, the fat cells gain volume. In the opposite case, they become smaller.

When to choose lipofilling?

Lipofilling is especially suitable for smaller breasts (A or B cup) that do not droop too much. In other words, it is an ideal procedure to regain the volume you lost after childbirth. After treatment, your breasts will be a half to maximum one cup size larger. So for larger breast augmentations, silicone prostheses are more appropriate.

Has your nipple sagged below the lower breast fold? Then lipofilling is not possible. It is also less suitable for larger breasts because you cannot inject a lot of fat. Of course, it also does not work when you have little excess fat. When you smoke, we also see less fat cells survive.
