Do you dream of a natural breast augmentation without implants that feels soft and authentic? With the innovative method of breast augmentation using your own fat, you can not only improve your breast shape, but also have unwanted fat deposits on your stomach, hips or thighs removed at the same time. The result: A harmoniously proportioned breast, without any foreign body sensation and with minimal scarring.
The solution:Dr Niklas Noack in Berlin, an expert in plastic and aesthetic surgery, uses state-of-the-art techniques such as water-jet assisted liposuction to guarantee maximum safety and natural results. This method combines precise fat removal, gentle treatment and long-term results - for a breast augmentation that blends in perfectly with your body image and makes you glow every day.
The most important facts in brief:
Breast augmentation with autologous fat, also known as lipofilling, is a minimally invasive treatment in which the body's own fat is used to give the breast more volume. Fat tissue is removed from donor regions such as the abdomen, hips or thighs by liposuction. The fat cells are processed using special procedures to remove impurities. The surgeon then injects the purified fat cells into different layers of the breast tissue using special cannulas to ensure even distribution.
As some of the fat cells can naturally die during the treatment, a little more fat than required is injected in order to achieve an optimal end result with autologous fat transplantation.
Unlike silicone implants, the autologous fat method offers a unique naturalness. The results are implant-free, feel "real" and accentuate your own harmonious breast shape. There is also no risk of foreign body reactions or rejection.
Breast implants, on the other hand, are filled with silicone or, more rarely, salt water. Although these no longer necessarily have to be replaced after 10 to 15 years, they do harbour risks such as hardening (capsular fibrosis) or, in rare cases, complications such as anaplastic large cell lymphoma (a rare disease of the immune system) or breast implant insufficiency.
However, the enlargement is limited and in most cases restricted to around one cup size.
The fat comes from the body's own fat stores, usually from areas such as the abdomen, hips, thighs or other parts of the body. This process therefore combines two advantages in one treatment - the removal of unwanted fat deposits and the desired breast augmentation in a single operation.

You can achieve completely natural, harmonious results with the body's own fat. Your breasts remain soft, feel absolutely "natural" and harmonise perfectly with your body. There are no unnatural transitions or shapes, as can occasionally occur with implants.
As the breast naturally has a high proportion of fatty tissue, the autologous fat method ensures a particularly realistic appearance.
Thanks to the minimally invasive technique, only fine puncture marks are created, which are barely visible. The risk of side effects is rather low with this method, as only the body's own tissue is used, which enables gentle treatment if the therapy is carried out professionally.
Breast augmentation with autologous fat offers the additional advantage of removing unwanted fat deposits from other areas of the body. This method therefore combines the advantages of tissue removal by liposuction with aesthetically pleasing breast shaping - for an all-round harmonious result.
| Breast augmentation with implants | Breast augmentation with autologous fat | |
| Procedure | Silicone or saline implants are inserted surgically. | Fat is removed by liposuction and injected into the breast. |
| Size and shape | Significant magnification and customisable shape (round or teardrop-shaped). | Limited enlargement (up to a maximum of approx. one cup size) with a natural look. |
| Longevity | Results last approx. 10-15 years; implants may need to be replaced. | Slight reduction in size in the first few months as fat is absorbed by the body (approx. 30%). |
| Recreation | Recovery focuses on incisions and implantation site. | Recovery includes both the liposuction and the fat injection site. |
| Risks | Risks such as rupture and capsular fibrosis. | Risks such as fat absorption, calcification or cyst formation. |
| Natural feeling | Implants may appear less natural than autologous fat. | Autologous fat feels natural, a foreign body is not palpable. |
| Scarring | Visible but short scars due to incisions in the underbust crease. | Minimally visible scars from liposuction. |
| Costs | Possibly more favourable than an autologous fat procedure, also depending on the implant | Possibly more expensive, as two operations may be necessary (if the fat is heavily resorbed) |
| Suitability | Suitable for most people, regardless of fat reserves. | Requires sufficient donor fat for the treatment. |
| Sensation | May rarely affect the sensitivity of the nipples or breasts. | Typically preserves natural sensitivity. |
| Aesthetics | Implants offer a definable shape through different size selection. | Autologous fat allows for a more subtle, less noticeable change. |
| Flexibility | Great customisation freedom in size and shape. | Limited modification options, depending on the existing breast shape. |
| Complications | Risks of visible wrinkles or rippling, especially with thin skin. | Risk of cyst formation or irregular volume due to fat absorption. |
| Weight fluctuations | Results largely independent of weight fluctuations. | Results may change with weight gain or loss. |
| Possible combinations | Can be combined with other procedures such as breast lift. | Can be combined with a breast lift or with an implant (hybrid augmentation) |

The water jet assisted Liposuction is considered to be particularly gentle and efficient. With this method, the fatty tissue is gently dissolved so that a high survival rate of the fat cells can be guaranteed. This procedure enables optimal results and is suitable for all patients.
However, classic liposuction, the standard procedure in which fat is suctioned out and then processed, is also an established procedure that is suitable for a large number of patients and is just as reliable and effective.
Every treatment begins with a detailed consultation. Dr Niklas Noack takes your individual wishes into account, examines your physical condition and ensures that you are fully informed about the procedure and aftercare.
The procedure can be performed as an outpatient procedure or with an overnight stay and takes place under general anaesthetic. After liposuction, Dr Noack carefully prepares the fat cells and injects them precisely into the breast. Each treated patient receives clear instructions for aftercare, such as
Complaints such as swelling or bruising in the treated areas of the body are normal and disappear after about three weeks.
Expert Dr Niklas Noack
The results of breast augmentation with autologous fat are harmonious and permanent. The typical volume gain is around one cup size. Soft breasts with a natural breast shape that have already lost volume, for example after pregnancy, can usually absorb fatty tissue somewhat better than a smaller, firm Cup A breast. After stabilisation of the fat cells, the results are fully visible and long-lasting after approx. 6 months. The rate at which the transplanted adipose tissue is divided is around 70%. Thanks to the natural nature of the patient's own fat cells, they remain a permanent part of the breast.
Many patients report that the natural shaping of their breasts has significantly improved their body image. The natural softness and almost invisible scars are particularly appreciated. These positive experiences underpin the high level of satisfaction with this method.
The costs can vary depending on the extent of the liposuction and the number of sessions required. The number of sessions depends on how much fatty tissue is reabsorbed by the body after the operation. Factors such as the initial situation and individual wishes also influence the price.
Breast augmentation with autologous fat usually costs between 5,000 and 8,000 euros. During a personal consultation, we will look together at which options are suitable for you - transparently and individually.
As with any medical procedure, risks can also occur here. Typical but rare side effects include bruising, small oil cysts or a slight imbalance in fat distribution.
A particular risk with this method is the formation of microcalcifications, which can be visible on a mammogram. These are usually harmless, but can have similar characteristics to tumour tissue. For this reason, additional clarification by ultrasound or biopsy may be necessary.
Scientific studies confirm that this method does not increase the risk of breast cancer. Mammographic examinations remain just as effective after autologous fat augmentation as before.
