The Breast Reconstruction Center of NYC (located in Manhattan, New York) led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Maria LoTempio reports a significant rise in the number of patients opting for fat grafting to the breast as a natural alternative to traditional breast implants. As more women seek subtle, natural-looking enhancement, fat transfer breast augmentation (as opposed to breast implants) has quickly become one of the most requested procedures at the Manhattan based practice plastic surgery practice.
“We’ve noticed a clear shift in patient preferences,” says Dr. LoTempio. “More women are seeking to enhance their breast shape and volume using their own body fat rather than opting for synthetic breast implants. This approach appeals to those who want a more organic, less invasive solution with the added benefit of body contouring.”
Fat grafting to the breast involves removing fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks through liposuction, purifying it, and then carefully injecting it into the breasts. The result is a fuller, more contoured breast appearance without foreign materials or the long-term maintenance sometimes associated with implants.
At the Breast Reconstruction Center of NYC, the procedure is also popular among women undergoing breast reconstruction after mastectomy or lumpectomy, as well as those seeking subtle augmentation or correction of asymmetry.
“Patients are increasingly educated and selective about their options,” Dr. LoTempio explains. “They love that fat grafting not only enhances their breasts but also sculpts other areas of the body. Plus, they’re reassured by the fact that it uses their own tissue, which feels and looks more natural.”
Dr. LoTempio and the team at the Breast Reconstruction Center of NYC take a highly individualized approach to patient care, ensuring that each procedure is tailored to the patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals. Whether for cosmetic enhancement or reconstructive purposes, the focus remains on delivering natural, balanced, and lasting results.
