What Does Fat Transfer Breast Enlargement Surgery Cost?

Introduction

Since the late 1800's, breast implants have been used, in various guises, to enhance the shape or size of a woman's breasts. In practice those earlier methods were not always successful, but fast forward a century and breast augmentation surgery, to give it its medical title, were more commonplace. However, since then developments in medical science have allowed for a different approach to silicone implants for example: Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation. Whilst the name itself isn't the most appealing, the process is more so. In simple terms, the treatment involves the surgeon taking away fat from one part of the female's body and placing it inside the breasts. In the press this has sometimes been referred to as a two-in-one wonder procedure because unwanted fat, from the buttocks or stomach area for example, can be taken away thereby solving what might be another aesthetic worry for many females.

Reasons for having the surgery

Women are frequently conscious about the look or feel of their breasts. Under-development from puberty, misshapen bodily features or even the after-effects of breast cancer surgery can all contribute to a woman wanting or needing the treatment to allow them some much needed confidence. The psychological effects of aesthetic problems with the breasts can often lead to distress socially and at work. This surgery aims, in part, to help with that and help a woman feel good about her body and often allows for an increase in a cup size or thoughtful reshaping, where necessary. It is reported that surgeons also believe that Fat Transfer Breast Enlargements provide a natural shape and feel to the breast compared to unnatural breast augmentation, such as a silicone or saline implant.

What Does Fat Transfer Breast Enlargement Surgery Cost?

Whilst the approximately eight hour procedure is not readily available on the National Health Service (NHS), if at all, there are several private clinics in the UK and abroad clamouring to assist women with this treatment at a price. As a rough comparison, a typical cost for an implant based breast augmentation may cost in the region of £3000-£4000 whereas fat transfer breast enlargement can be placed around the £8000 mark. In terms of cost to your health, the risks are minimised by careful consultation are thoroughly talking through your needs. However, some re-constructive surgery has led to loss of sensation in the nipple areas for example and there are always the scars both physically and mentally to adapt and deal with. Shopping around on the internet can bear fruit however, and it is advised you research the procedure you want and the surgeon/clinic you would like to place your trust in before going any further.
