Breast Fat Grafting

Advanced, Long-Lasting Results with Dr. Puyana

Sculpted with Precision.Designed to Last.

Breast fat grafting has transformed the way breast enhancement is performed – offering patients the ability to reshape and enhance the breasts using their own fat, without implants. However, not all fat grafting procedures are created equal. The difference between subtle, short-lived results and long-lasting, predictable outcomes lies entirely in technique, technology, and surgical discipline.

Studies and clinical experience show that fat survival rates vary widely depending on how fat is harvested, processed, and transferred. When shortcuts are taken, much of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed by the body, often leading to disappointment or the need for repeat procedures.

At Puyana 

Plastic Surgery

Dr. Salomon Puyana approaches breast fat grafting as a highly technical, time-intensive procedure. By using advanced technology and meticulous technique at every step, Dr. Puyana focuses on maximizing fat viability so that the transferred fat is more likely to survive – and stay – long term.

What Is Breast Fat Grafting?

Breast fat grafting, also known as autologous fat transfer to the breasts, is a procedure in which fat is gently harvested from one area of the body – such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs – processed, and then carefully injected into the breasts to enhance shape, contour, and volume.

Unlike implants, fat grafting uses your own living tissue. The goal is not simply to add volume, but to reshape the breasts in a controlled, natural-feeling way. The success of the procedure depends heavily on preserving the integrity of fat cells throughout the entire process.

Dr. Salomon Puyana designs each breast fat grafting procedure with a clear plan for donor -site selection, volume goals, and precise placement to support optimal fat survival.

Why Choose Breast Fat Grafting?

Patients choose breast fat grafting for a variety of reasons, including:

When performed correctly, breast fat grafting can create beautifully sculpted breasts that look and feel cohesive with the body. The key is ensuring that the transferred fat remains viable - which requires expertise, patience, and advanced technology.

Advanced Fat Transfer Technology

Wells Johnson & Ultrasound-Guided Precision

Dr. Salomon Puyana utilizes Wells Johnson advanced fat transfer system, recognized as the most sophisticated technology available for fat grafting. This system allows for gentle fat extraction, controlled processing, and precise reinjection – all critical factors in preserving fat cell viability.

In addition, ultrasound-guided fat transfer is used to ensure accurate placement of fat into optimal tissue planes. This level of precision helps improve fat survival, promote even distribution, and reduce the risk of irregularities.

Unlike practices that rush the fat grafting process, Dr. Puyana takes the necessary time at every stage – from harvesting to injection – to maximize the likelihood that the transferred fat will survive long term. This disciplined, no-shortcuts approach is what separates advanced fat grafting from average outcomes.

What to Expect Before, During, & After Surgery

  • Pre-Surgery Planning
    Dr. Salomon Puyana conducts a detailed consultation to assess donor sites, breast anatomy, and volume goals. A personalized fat grafting plan is developed to support optimal results.

  • Surgery Day
    Breast fat grafting is performed in our fully accredited surgical facility with experienced anesthesia care and strict safety protocols. All patients return home the same day. Surgical time varies depending on the amount of fat transferred and donor sites involved.

  • Recovery

    Patients typically experience mild to moderate soreness at donor sites and the breasts. Swelling gradually improves over several weeks. As healing progresses, surviving fat cells establish blood supply and become a permanent part of the breast tissue.
