WHAT IS autologous BREAST Augmentation?

Autologous breast augmentation is a refined, implant-free procedure that enhances the size and shape of the breasts using the patient’s own tissues: intercostal perforator flaps, and/or fat transfer. 

Local flaps from the sagging parts of the breast or adjacent tissues are de-epithelialized and used to create a centra mound and upper pole fullness.
Fat transfer is a technique, which involves harvesting fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. The fat is meticulously injected into the breasts, to create natural volume, symmetry, and contour. Autologous breast augmentation is ideal for women seeking a more natural alternative to implants.

 

Benefits of Autologous Breast Augmentation:
Autologous breast augmentation is gaining popularity among women who value a natural look and feel. Because it uses the body’s own tissues, it not only enhances the breasts, but also offers the added benefit of contouring the donor area. Beyond physical transformation, this procedure supports a deep sense of confidence and alignment with one’s body.
Autologous breast augmentation has many positive benefits, including:

  • Creating natural, soft results without implants
  • Enhancing breast symmetry and contour
  • Reducing fat in targeted donor areas
  • Empowering results that align with your natural body and lifestyle

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE?

Autologous breast augmentation is ideal for women seeking a natural, implant-free enhancement that uses their own body tissue to restore or improve breast volume. This procedure is particularly suited for individuals who:

Desire subtle to moderate enhancement: This technique is best for women seeking a modest increase in breast size or those wanting to restore volume lost due to weight fluctuations, aging, or pregnancy.
Are considering removing implants: Women who are seeking to remove their implants (explant surgery), often choose this method to avoid implants and attain natural volume and shape.
Are in good overall health: Ideal candidates should be non-smokers, at a healthy weight, and free from any conditions that could impair healing.

IMPLANTS REMOVAL

Some women, due to personal preferences, lifestyle changes, or medical considerations, may decide to have implant removal, also known as explant surgery. This can be performed on its own, or in combination with autologous breast augmentation, which will restore natural volume and beauty.
At Plastic Surgery Specialists of South Florida in Hollywood, FL, Dr. Barnavon is internationally recognized for his leadership in combining implant removal and autologous breast augmentation. This dual approach allows patients to maintain and restore a beautiful, feminine silhouette with soft, natural tissue.
Whether your decision is motivated by a desire for a more natural look, to address discomfort, or to move away from implants entirely, our team takes a compassionate, artistic, and precise approach. Every procedure is tailored to your body and your goals, ensuring results that feel authentically you, graceful, confident, and purely your own.

WHAT TO EXPECT From auto BREAST AUGMENTATION​

Personalized Surgical Planning

Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation where Dr. Barnavon designs a custom plan tailored to your anatomy and goals. Together, you’ll determine ideal donor sites for flaps and/or fat grafts, such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, and define your desired breast shape and volume. This step ensures harmony between your natural proportions and your enhancement.

Selection of Possible Flap Options

Depending on where there is excess and undesired tissue; such as the sagging part of the breast, extra lateral chest tissue, and/or upper abdominal tissue, a flap can be designed to create a projecting central mound with natural tissues. In some cases, upper breast fulness can be achieved. The use of mesh materials may help maintain projection and upper breast fullness. 

Gentle Fat Harvesting

During surgery, excess fat is gently extracted from predetermined areas using advanced liposuction techniques. The goal is not only to sculpt those areas but to preserve the vitality of fat cells for successful transfer. This dual benefit helps enhance both body contouring and breast reshaping in a single procedure.

Precision Fat Purification & Transfer

The harvested fat is then meticulously purified to isolate only the healthiest, most viable fat cells. Dr. Barnavon transfers this fat into the breasts to sculpt volume, correct asymmetry, and refine shape, without the use of implants. Not all transferred fat cells will survive, which is expected. Over the following weeks, your body naturally integrates the healthiest fat cells, revealing fuller, softer breasts with improved shape. Visible changes continue to evolve as swelling subsides, and new contours settle into place. The result is a natural, soft enhancement that moves and feels like your own tissue.

AUTO BREAST AUGMENTATION RECOVERY

Smooth Early Recovery

Typically, this surgery is well-tolerated with minimal pain, and rapid recovery. The surgery is performed in an outpatient setting. You may experience temporary soreness, but discomfort is usually manageable with medication. 

Fat Cell Settling & Final Contour

Not all transferred fat cells will survive, which is expected. Over the following weeks, your body naturally integrates the healthiest fat cells, revealing fuller, softer breasts with improved shape. Visible changes continue to evolve as swelling subsides and new contours settle into place.

Follow-Up & Long-Term Care

Follow-up visits with Dr. Barnavon are essential for monitoring healing and ensuring optimal fat retention. Final results are typically visible around three months post-op, with subtle refinements continuing up to six months. With proper care and stable weight, your results can be long-lasting and beautifully natural.

I am very pleased with my experience with Dr. Reisler and his team. I needed to get a mass removed from a sensitive area, and of course, was a bit nervous about the process. I felt immediately at ease discussing the surgery with Dr. Reisler. He is incredibly kind and knowledgeable. I felt comfortable throughout the entire process, and felt supported in my recovery period as well. The staff at the surgery facility told me I was in good hands with a great surgeon, and I agree! I am about a month out from surgery, and my scar is healing beautifully- much better than I anticipated. Compassionate, professional, and highly skilled!

I am 5 days after my Lipo section procedure and I see results already!!!! I have seen few doctors before Dr. Barnavon all by recommendations. I have decided to go with Dr. Barnavon because his office is clean and new, the staff are so nice and welcoming. He explained from the beginning what we can do and what the results will look like by not necessarily promising me something that won't happen. The nurses are very professional and explained everything in regard of the surgery and what to expect after, also followed up with me the next day. I am so happy already and excited even more to see the results in the near future.

Ever aspect of my visit with Dr. Reisler and the staff exceeded my expectations. From my first visit until the last sutures were removed I felt welcome, the staff and nurses were caring and engaged with me. Dr. Reisler took his time to explain everything step that would occur and what the desired outcome would be. The final results exceeded my expectations. More than one person has commented on how well “I healed”. Where the incision was made is barely noticeable, no scaring and completely healed. The quality of care and service provided by Dr. Reisler and everyone at the practice was exceptional. I highly recommend Dr. Reisler and his staff.

Answers to Your Most Common Questions

What is the difference between autologous breast augmentation and traditional implant-based surgery?

Autologous breast augmentation uses your own body’s tissues—either harvested from adjacent breast tissue and/or fat transfer via liposuction from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, rather than silicone or saline implants. This approach provides a more natural feel and avoids the long-term maintenance or replacement associated with implants.

How long do the results of autologous breast augmentation last?

Flaps, generally retain their full volume and shape over time. Following fat grafting, the fat cells that successfully integrate into the breast tissue can provide permanent volume. However, it’s normal to experience some resorption. Typically, 40-50% of volume is retained. In some cases, patients choose a second session for additional fat transfer.

Can autologous breast augmentation correct breast asymmetry?

Yes. This technique allows for precise contouring and correction of uneven breasts, as the tissue can be strategically placed in specific areas to restore symmetry with a highly customized outcome.

Is the breast autologous augmentation safe?

Yes, when performed by experienced surgeons like Dr. Barnavon and Dr. Reisler, breast auto augmentation is very safe. The risk of complication is low.

Does fat grafting affect future breast cancer screenings?

There is no evidence that fat transfer increases breast cancer risk. However, it may cause small calcifications detectable on mammograms. It’s important to inform your radiologist about the procedure to ensure accurate interpretation of imaging results.

What about recovery?

Recovery varies, but most patients return to light activities within a few days and resume normal routines within 1–2 weeks. Breast swelling will gradually subside over several weeks.
