Breast augmentation with autologous fat in Berlin

Natural, gentle and effective

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:

  • Natural breast augmentation without implants: Breast augmentation with autologous fat offers natural results, feels real and is particularly gentle. In contrast to implants, there are no foreign body reactions or long-term risks such as capsular fibrosis. However, the augmentation is limited to around one cup size.
  • Two treatments in one: In addition to breast augmentation, liposuction is used to remove unwanted fat deposits from areas of the body such as the abdomen, hips or thighs. This method combines body shaping with aesthetic breast shaping - for a harmonious result.
  • Long-term, aesthetic results: Approximately 70 % of the transplanted fat tissue fuses permanently in the breast. The final result is visible after 6 months and is long-lasting, provided the body weight remains stable. The costs are between 5,000 and 8,000 euros.

What is breast augmentation with autologous fat?

Definition and procedure of the method

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.

Difference to implants

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.

Donor regions for fat

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.

Advantages of breast augmentation with autologous fat

Natural results and a harmonious appearance

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.

Low risks and barely visible scars

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.

Two treatments in one procedure

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.

A comparison of breast augmentation methods with autologous fat and implants:

Breast augmentation with implantsBreast augmentation with autologous fat
ProcedureSilicone or saline implants are inserted surgically.Fat is removed by liposuction and injected into the breast.
Size and shapeSignificant magnification and customisable shape (round or teardrop-shaped).Limited enlargement (up to a maximum of approx. one cup size) with a natural look.
LongevityResults 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%).
RecreationRecovery focuses on incisions and implantation site.Recovery includes both the liposuction and the fat injection site.
RisksRisks such as rupture and capsular fibrosis.Risks such as fat absorption, calcification or cyst formation.
Natural feelingImplants may appear less natural than autologous fat.Autologous fat feels natural, a foreign body is not palpable.
ScarringVisible but short scars due to incisions in the underbust crease.Minimally visible scars from liposuction.
CostsPossibly more favourable than an autologous fat procedure, also depending on the implantPossibly more expensive, as two operations may be necessary (if the fat is heavily resorbed)
SuitabilitySuitable for most people, regardless of fat reserves.Requires sufficient donor fat for the treatment.
SensationMay rarely affect the sensitivity of the nipples or breasts.Typically preserves natural sensitivity.
AestheticsImplants offer a definable shape through different size selection.Autologous fat allows for a more subtle, less noticeable change.
FlexibilityGreat customisation freedom in size and shape.Limited modification options, depending on the existing breast shape.
ComplicationsRisks of visible wrinkles or rippling, especially with thin skin.Risk of cyst formation or irregular volume due to fat absorption.
Weight fluctuationsResults largely independent of weight fluctuations.Results may change with weight gain or loss.
Possible combinationsCan be combined with other procedures such as breast lift.Can be combined with a breast lift or with an implant (hybrid augmentation)

Methods of breast augmentation with autologous fat

Water-jet assisted liposuction (BEAULI method)

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.

Classic liposuction with autologous fat processing

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.

Procedure for breast augmentation with autologous fat with Dr Niklas Noack

Your personal consultation for breast augmentation with autologous fat

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 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

  • Wearing a surgical bra or elastic bandage to optimally stabilise the fat cells.
  • Rest for one week until return to normal activities.
  • Maintaining a supine position while sleeping.

Complaints such as swelling or bruising in the treated areas of the body are normal and disappear after about three weeks.

Results and experiences of breast augmentation with autologous fat

What are the results?

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.

Testimonials from patients

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.

Cost of breast augmentation with autologous fat in Berlin

What influences the costs?

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.

Transparent price overview

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.

Risks and safety of breast augmentation with autologous fat

Frequent risks and side effects

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.

Cancer risk with autologous fat treatments?

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.

Frequently asked questions about breast augmentation with autologous fat

How long does the treatment take?

The treatment takes about 2-3 hours and is carried out on an outpatient or inpatient basis with an overnight stay.

1

When are the results visible?

The first results are visible immediately after the operation, while the final shape is achieved after 6 months.

2

How long do the results last?

As the injected fat cells fuse permanently in the breast, the results are long-lasting, provided your body weight remains stable.

3

Are there alternative procedures?

In addition to the use of autologous fat, silicone implants offer an alternative, especially for larger volume increases. An additional breast lift procedure can also be useful for a firm breast. Sometimes we also combine the insertion of a small implant with an additional fat graft, which is known as hybrid augmentation.
