What is breast augmentation with fat transfer?
The medical term for the transplantation of fat is autologous fat transfer.
In this procedure, the body's own fat is obtained through gentle liposuction, purified using a special technique, and then injected into the breast tissue. The injected fat integrates with the surrounding tissue, resulting in a sustainable increase in volume.
This technique requires a high level of surgical precision, as the fat is injected millimeter by millimeter in multiple layers to create a harmonious shape and volume.
Many women desire fuller breasts without resorting to implants. Breast augmentation with fat transfer offers a modern, body-friendly alternative that naturally builds volume – completely free of foreign materials. Fat tissue is taken from other areas of the body, processed, and injected into the breast. The result is not only aesthetically pleasing but also feels completely natural.
At our practice, Stavrakis Aesthetics in Berlin, we have been performing this gentle method for many years, providing patients with the highest precision, medical expertise, and a keen sense for natural body shapes.
Who is this method suitable for?
Fat grafting is not equally suitable for all women. Ideal conditions exist for patients who:
- Desire a moderate breast enlargement
- Are looking for an alternative to silicone implants
- Prefer natural results
- Have sufficient donor fat available
- Want to correct minor asymmetries or volume losses
Chief Physician Themistoklis Stavrakis and his team will discuss your wishes and expectations for the procedure with you and create a personalized treatment plan.
Treatment process
Initial Consultation & Planning
The treatment begins with a comprehensive medical consultation at our practice clinic in Berlin. Body structure, individual wishes, and medical prerequisites are carefully analyzed. Together with Chief Physician Themistoklis Stavrakis, M.D., a specialist in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, possible donor sites, volume goals, and the exact treatment process are individually determined.
The operation: liposuction, preparation & injection
The operation consists of three steps and is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation, and in some cases under general anesthesia. It lasts approximately 1-2 hours in total.

Aftercare and Healing Following Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting
Immediately after the procedure, patients should take it easy physically, but are generally able to resume various activities as early as the first day after surgery.
When will I see the final result?
An initial result is visible after a few days, but the final outcome is achieved only after 3-6 months. By then, the transplanted fat has stabilized and the tissue has adapted to the new shape.
Safety & Risks
Safety of the Treatment
Breast augmentation with fat grafting is considered a modern and tissue-conserving method of aesthetic breast surgery. However, like any surgical procedure, it carries certain general risks. These include swelling, bruising, temporary changes in sensation, or in rare cases, infections and asymmetries.
Specific Risks of Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting
A central issue is the so-called absorption rate: A portion of the transplanted fat will be broken down by the body. Depending on the technique, extraction site, and individual predisposition, about 50-70% of the injected volume remains permanently. Since part of the transplanted fat can be absorbed by the body, the long-term remaining volume may vary individually.
How We Minimize Risks
At Stavrakis Aesthetics, we rely on highly precise techniques for fat extraction and injection, years of surgical experience, and careful aftercare. By combining technique, expertise, and personalized consultation, we can minimize potential complications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
About 30-50% of the originally transplanted fat is absorbed by the body in the first months after the surgery. The remaining, integrated fat tissue is generally considered stable and behaves like normal body fat. As with any surgical procedure, the results may change over time due to natural factors such as weight fluctuations, hormonal changes, or the natural aging process.

With one treatment, an increase of 100-300 ml per side is realistic.
