What is the average recovery time after breast augmentation surgery?

Most patients require about a week of downtime after surgery and can return to light activities after that. The typical recovery period for breast augmentation surgery is about six weeks, at which time the majority of swelling should have subsided and results will be visible. In most cases, the swelling will take at least three months to resolve.

Will there be pain following my surgery?

You will likely experience some pain in the first few days following your breast augmentation surgery, but medication will be prescribed to control this postoperative pain.

Will I have scarring?

There is likely to be scarring as a result of your incisions. Breast tissue will camouflage scarring from inframammary incisions. Scarring along the areola is likely to fade over time. On average, scars heal in about six months to one year.

What complications can occur following breast augmentation surgery?

All surgeries run the risk of infection and bleeding complications, but these are very rare. Other possible complications include: Capsular contracture (tightened scar tissue squeezes the implant), Implant rupture/deflation, Bottoming out (a weakened breast pocket allows the implant to drop below the inframammary fold), Double-bubble deformity (sagging breast tissue beneath the implant creates the appearance of two bubbles).

Is breast augmentation surgery permanent?

Barring any complications that would require implant replacement, breast augmentation surgery achieves long-lasting results. Dr. Jazayeri will discuss the expectations you should have for the results of your surgery.

Natural Curves, No Implants

What is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?

Fat transfer breast augmentation is an aesthetic procedure that enhances breast volume using fat from your own body. Sometimes called fat grafting or autologous fat transfer, the treatment involves liposuction to harvest fat from places like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. That fat is then purified and strategically injected into the breasts to create a fuller, softer contour.

Because it uses your body's natural tissue, this method avoids foreign materials and creates a supple, natural-feeling result. It's ideal for patients seeking modest enhancement, especially those wanting to contour more than just their chest.

Enhancement That’s All You

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Benefits

Fat transfer breast augmentation is all about replacing volume, restoring balance, and embracing your own body's potential. With no implants and a dual benefit of liposuction, the rewards are beautifully comprehensive.

Benefits include:

Fuller, more shapely breasts using your fat
Slimmer donor sites (abdomen, thighs, flanks, etc.)
No risk of implant-related complications
Natural look and feel
Smaller incisions and less scarring
Minimal downtime compared to traditional augmentation
Long-lasting results with healthy lifestyle maintenance

And let's not forget: no implants means no implant maintenance. You won't have to worry about replacing them for any reason or your body rejecting them.

The Best Move For Your Makeover

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Candidates

If you're healthy, have realistic expectations, and have enough donor fat to spare, you might be a candidate for Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation. This procedure is especially ideal if you want a moderate increase in breast size with natural-looking results.

You may be a candidate if you:

Are in generally good health
Have adequate fat stores in other areas
Prefer a more natural enhancement
Want to avoid implants
Are not breastfeeding or pregnant
Don't smoke or are willing to stop before and after surgery

Certain medical conditions or a history of breast cancer may disqualify some patients, which is why a thorough consultation is so important.

How We Can Help

Consultation and Preparation

A consultation with Dr. Jazayeri is the first and most important step to preparing for your augmentation. This is your time to ask questions, share goals, and explore whether Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation is the right fit for you. Dr. Jaz will assess your medical history, evaluate potential donor sites, and explain what kind of results you can expect.

Before your procedure, you may be asked to undergo lab testing or medical evaluation, stop smoking or certain medications, and avoid anti-inflammatory drugs.

During this time, you can also discuss combining your procedure with others, like a tummy tuck or breast lift, for a more dramatic transformation.

From Lipo to Lift

Your Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Procedure

The procedure begins with gentle liposuction to remove fat from targeted donor areas. That fat is then purified and carefully reinjected into the breasts in layers, sculpting volume and symmetry.

Here's what you can expect:

Performed under general anesthesia or local with sedation
Lasts about two to four hours, depending on the number of treatment areas
Minimal incisions with tiny liposuction entry points
Outpatient procedure, meaning you go home the same day

What Comes Next

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

You'll start to notice changes right away, but the final shape takes a few months to settle. Most patients see long-lasting results, especially with a stable weight.

Recovery tips:

Expect minor swelling and bruising in both breasts and donor areas
Wear special compression garments that help reduce swelling
Avoid high-impact and strenuous activity for at least two weeks
Sleep on your back to avoid putting pressure on your breasts
Keep incisions clean and follow all aftercare instructions from Dr. Jazayeri

While not all transferred fat survives, the fat that does survive is permanent, making your new curves a long-term win.

Embrace Comfort & Convenience

Procedures Under Local Anesthesia
with Dr. Michael A. Jazayeri

Dr. Michael A. Jazayeri, a distinguished plastic surgeon in Santa Ana, California, strongly advocates for patient comfort and safety during all procedures. His comprehensive approach to patient care includes using local anesthesia for various surgical procedures.

Local anesthesia is a type of anesthetic used to numb a specific area of the body where a surgical procedure will be performed. It allows the patient to remain awake and comfortable while avoiding the potential risks and side effects associated with general anesthesia. In Dr. Jazayeri's hands, an array of procedures can be carried out under local anesthesia, often leading to quicker recovery times and lower complication rates. These procedures include many facelifts, liposuctions, neck lifts, Brazilian butt lifts (BBLs), mini tummy tuck and, in certain cases, even breast and arm lift.

By taking advantage of local anesthesia's potential, Dr. Michael A. Jazayeri strives to make cosmetic and reconstructive surgery more accessible, comfortable, and patient-centered. His commitment to this safe anesthesia approach in Santa Ana, California, signals a new era in plastic surgery where patient comfort and safety are at the forefront.
