Breast Augmentation with Autologous Fat in Darmstadt

::heading{tag="h2" text="Achieve an aesthetic breast shape with your own fat – completely without implants"}::

Breast augmentation with autologous fat can be an alternative to silicone implants. This gives patients who perceive implants as foreign bodies or reject them the option to change their breast volume using their own fat.

Some patients may want a noticeable change in breast volume to feel more comfortable. If individual anatomy, previous procedures or age-related changes do not match personal expectations, a surgical enlargement of the breasts can be an option. Some patients prefer procedures without artificial implants, for example to reduce the risk of capsular fibrosis.

Using one’s own fat, previously harvested by liposuction, is a natural variant here. Breast augmentation with autologous fat also has the practical and aesthetically beneficial side effect of reducing unwanted or bothersome fat deposits or making them disappear in the wrong places by essentially redistributing them. For this purpose, the fat is first removed by liposuction from these areas, specially processed, filtered and cleaned, and then transplanted into the breast to increase its volume.

Breast augmentation with autologous fat at PraxisClinic Jadore therefore conveniently combines two procedures into a single one, so that patients can experience an even stronger sense of new well‑being. The operation – consisting of liposuction and lipofilling – usually takes about 3 hours and is performed under the strictest sterile conditions in modern operating rooms and under twilight sedation. Dr. Christoph Jethon recommends staying at PraxisClinic Jadore until the evening after the operation in one of the modern and comfortably furnished patient rooms.

You should always have a breast augmentation with autologous fat performed based on your personal wish, whether to increase your attractiveness or to optimize body areas you perceive as unaesthetic, and not to chase a virtual ideal. The best prerequisite is therefore a realistic attitude about what can be achieved with this procedure. Dr. Christoph Jethon will therefore thoroughly advise you before any surgical breast augmentation to always achieve a natural-looking and satisfactory appearance.

Dr. Christoph Jethon, head of PraxisClinic Jadore and an experienced plastic surgeon, has been regularly performing both liposuctions and fat transplantations – lipofillings – for breast augmentation for many years. He is the doctor you can trust if you choose breast augmentation with autologous fat, and he accompanies you from the very beginning with his medical expertise and his aesthetic sense for the natural, harmonious beauty of the female body: from the detailed pre-consultation to learn about your wishes, through the counselling to the operation itself and your aftercare support.

::heading{tag="h2" text="Breast augmentation with autologous fat – a possible natural alternative"}::

Dr. Christoph Jethon promises you nothing that is realistically impossible with an enlargement of your breasts using autologous fat. Precisely because this procedure is performed "only" by injections, it still requires a high degree of skill and experience.

::heading{tag="h3" text="How is breast augmentation with autologous fat performed?"}::

In principle, breast augmentation with autologous fat is best performed on women whose bodies have sufficiently large fat deposits that can be used for this purpose. The success of breast augmentation with autologous fat therefore also depends on the individual female anatomy. In this treatment method, liposuction also yields a large amount of stem cells that are transplanted along with the fat tissue. This surgical method should ideally be performed by a specialized professional – for example Dr. Jethon – in order to achieve the most long‑lasting result possible. It is important to know with breast augmentation using autologous fat that up to 40% of the transplanted fat tissue can also be reabsorbed – which is a completely natural process in the body. A reputable surgeon like Dr. Christoph Jethon will therefore always point this out to you and show you the limits of what is possible: breast volume can increase by approximately one cup size; however, the result can vary individually. He will also discuss other methods of breast augmentation with you if there is not enough autologous fat available in your case.

::heading{tag="h3" text="What advantages does breast augmentation with autologous fat offer?"}::

The main advantage of breast augmentation with autologous fat is that no foreign body is implanted in the breast. Although modern silicone implants are a safe choice for breast enlargement, some patients find the idea uncomfortable or shy away from the required surgical procedure or worry about the possibility of capsular fibrosis. In addition, the body’s own fat tissue has a familiar feel.

The injections also leave hardly any visible scars. The autologous fat method also offers the possibility to quickly and easily correct small asymmetries of the breast. And last but not least, the preceding liposuction has the advantage of elegantly eliminating unwanted problem areas.

::heading{tag="h3" text="Risks of breast augmentation with autologous fat"}::

Both the preparatory liposuction and the processing and subsequent injection of the autologous fat pose little risk in a healthy person. The tumescent solution used by Dr. Jethon during liposuction locally anesthetizes the treated area and prepares the local fat cells for suctioning. The entire procedure takes about 3 hours while you are under twilight sedation; afterward a longer stay at PraxisClinic Jadore is recommended. Occasionally small bruises may form afterwards, but these disappear again after a short time.

Before every breast augmentation with autologous fat you should have an ultrasound or mammography performed. In the unlikely event that lumps or hardenings develop afterward, which is very rare due to the modern surgical method, these can be easily distinguished by an experienced radiologist from truly serious changes in the mammary gland.

::heading{tag="h3" text="Your personal pre-consultation for breast augmentation with autologous fat with Dr. Christoph Jethon"}::

Before your planned breast augmentation with autologous fat at PraxisClinic Jadore, Dr. Christoph Jethon will advise you in a detailed consultation; he will first address your personal ideas and expectations, then inform you whether these are feasible, and explain in detail how the process will proceed to the agreed‑upon result. Dr. Christoph Jethon will also discuss the resulting costs and possible treatment alternatives with you. In addition, Dr. Jethon will advise you on how best to prepare yourself for the procedure. Possible allergies to certain medications or care substances will also be discussed, among other things.

::heading{tag="h3" text="How to best prepare for your breast augmentation with autologous fat"}::

Although the procedure of breast augmentation with autologous fat is comparatively not a major surgical intervention, you can also do something yourself to ensure that your treatment proceeds as favorably and quickly as possible by considering the following factors in your preparation:

::heading{tag="h4" style-tag="h3" text="Nutrition and diet"}::

The breast consists in part of glandular tissue and in part of fatty tissue. While the proportion of glandular tissue is genetically determined, the proportion of fatty tissue varies depending on your eating habits. If you lose weight during or after the operation, your breasts may lose tension and volume as a result. The closer you are to your ideal weight before the procedure, the more satisfied you will be with the long‑term result.

::heading{tag="h4" style-tag="h3" text="Use of medications"}::

It may be advisable to avoid medications that increase bleeding tendency about two weeks before the procedure – these include, for example, preparations containing acetylsalicylic acid. The use of sleeping pills could also be reduced during this period if possible. Of course, this does not apply to any medically prescribed and health‑necessary medications.

::heading{tag="h4" style-tag="h3" text="Smoking and alcohol"}::

Regular smoking and drinking increase the risk of circulation and wound healing disorders, both of which are responsible for faster healing even after minor procedures; in particular, nicotine causes constriction of the blood vessels. Therefore, you should, if necessary, stop smoking and consuming alcohol at least 2 weeks before the operation.

::heading{tag="h4" style-tag="h3" text="Checklist for preparation:"}::

Possibly complete any weight loss beforehand
Avoid blood‑thinning medications and sleeping pills
Reduce tobacco and alcohol consumption

::heading{tag="h3" text="What is the course of the breast augmentation with autologous fat procedure?"}::

The entire operation for breast augmentation with autologous fat usually takes about 3 hours; it is mostly performed under twilight sedation and under the strictest sterile conditions in the modern operating rooms of PraxisClinic Jadore. Dr. Jethon recommends that you remain at PraxisClinic Jadore until the evening after the operation.

Dr. Jethon harvests the autologous fat for the breast augmentation from the areas with the largest fat reserves – usually the hips, abdomen or thighs. The fat cells obtained during liposuction are gently processed and in the next step distributed through several small punctures at the areola and the inframammary fold between the skin and the glandular body. Dr. Christoph Jethon thereby purposefully models the breast until it achieves an appealing silhouette and a symmetrical shape.

After the liposuction you will also receive compression garments to support the areas of the body treated by the liposuction.

::heading{tag="h4" style-tag="h3" text="Checklist for the operation:"}::

Analgosedation/twilight sedation
Duration of surgery: approx. 3 hours
Longer outpatient clinic stay recommended
Compression garments for the suctioned body areas
Special bra for the breasts

::heading{tag="h3" text="Healing process and aftercare"}::

In the first days after the autologous fat treatment, the breasts are usually swollen and bruising may occur, but these are harmless. It is best not to wear tight clothing that could compress the breasts and press on the transplanted autologous fat. You should also avoid sports and wide arm movements in daily life for several weeks to support the process of even retraction of the skin and tissue of the suctioned body areas; for this you will wear compression garments for 4 to 6 weeks. You should also avoid visiting a sauna during this time. After about two weeks you will be socially presentable again and after approx. 3 months you can admire the final result of your breast augmentation with autologous fat.

::heading{tag="h4" style-tag="h3" text="Checklist for the period after the operation:"}::

Aftercare: 4 – 6 weeks
Wear compression garments
No tanning bed or sauna visits
Socially presentable: after 1 week
Sports: after 6 weeks
