Looking for fuller, natural-looking breasts without implants? Breast fat grafting may be the ideal solution. At Snyder Plastic Surgery in Austin and Round Rock, TX, Dr. Ned Snyder offers this advanced technique to enhance breast volume using your body’s own fat. This minimally invasive approach provides subtle, beautiful results with the added benefit of body contouring.
What Is Breast Fat Grafting?
Breast fat grafting, also called autologous fat transfer, is a surgical procedure that enhances breast volume by transferring fat from another area of your body. The fat is harvested using liposuction, processed to remove impurities, and then strategically injected into the breasts to enhance contour and shape.
Unlike traditional breast augmentation with implants, fat grafting uses your own living tissue. The result is a natural look and feel, with no risk of implant-related complications or maintenance.

Who Is a Candidate for Breast Fat Grafting?
Breast fat grafting is ideal for women who want a modest, natural enhancement in breast volume without the use of implants. You may be a good candidate if you:
- Prefer a natural alternative to breast implants
- Have unwanted fat deposits elsewhere that can be used as donor tissue
- Are seeking subtle volume enhancement or symmetry correction
- Want to improve breast shape after implant removal or lumpectomy
- Are in good overall health, a non-smoker, and have realistic expectations
Dr. Snyder evaluates your anatomy, goals, and donor fat availability to determine if fat grafting is right for you.
Types of Fat Grafting Applications for the Breasts
Breast fat transfer is versatile and can be customized to achieve a variety of goals. Dr. Snyder may recommend this procedure for:
Primary Breast Augmentation
For women seeking a natural, modest increase in breast size (typically ½ to 1 cup size).
Revision of Implant Augmentation
To improve symmetry, smooth contour irregularities, or enhance cleavage after implant surgery.
Correction After Lumpectomy or Trauma
To restore volume and shape in patients who have undergone breast-conserving surgery or suffered an injury.
Post-Explant Volume Restoration
For patients who have had their implants removed and want to restore some fullness without replacing them.
Each approach is tailored to your body and goals, with an emphasis on natural aesthetics.
The Breast Fat Grafting Process
Understanding the process helps you feel prepared and confident about your decision. Dr. Snyder and his team provide expert care from consultation through recovery.
What to Expect: Step-by-Step
Your consultation includes a full evaluation of your anatomy, aesthetic goals, and donor fat availability. Dr. Snyder will review your medical history and create a personalized surgical plan, including recommendations on donor sites and the amount of fat that can be safely transferred.

You can expect mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness in both the donor and breast areas. A compression garment may be worn to support healing at the liposuction sites. Most patients return to light activity within a few days and resume full activities in a few weeks. Final results become more visible as swelling subsides, revealing enhanced, natural-looking breasts and a slimmer donor site.
