Enhance Curves Using
Your Own Natural Tissue
Breast fat grafting is a natural approach to breast enhancement that uses your own fat to improve shape, volume, and symmetry. During the procedure, fat is gently harvested from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks through liposuction. The purified fat cells are then carefully injected into the breasts to achieve subtle, natural-looking results.Because it uses your own tissue, breast fat grafting in Murrieta and Temecula avoids implants and offers the added benefit of body contouring through gentle liposuction.
What Are the Benefits of Breast Fat Grafting?

- Ensures subtle, natural-looking results
- Avoids implants and foreign materials
- Improves body contours through liposuction
- Reduces the risk of allergic reaction or rejection
- Offers long-lasting results when fat survives

- Enhances both breast appearance and donor site shape
Am I a Suitable Candidate for Breast Fat Grafting?
You may be a suitable candidate for breast fat grafting if you are seeking a natural option to enhance breast shape or volume without implants. This procedure is ideal for individuals who desire subtle, natural-looking results and have sufficient donor fat in the abdomen, thighs, or hips.During your consultation, Dr. Geldwert and Dr. Leong evaluate your goals, health, and anatomy to ensure that breast fat grafting in Murrieta and Temecula is both safe and effective for your desired outcome.
You may be a candidate for breast fat grafting if:
- You want a modest increase in breast volume
- You have adequate donor fat available for transfer
- You are in good overall health with no uncontrolled conditions
- You are a non-smoker or willing to quit before surgery
- You have realistic expectations about subtle, natural results
- You are at a stable weight and not planning major fluctuations
What Happens During the Breast
Fat Grafting Procedure?
During your breast fat grafting, Dr. Geldwert and/or Dr. Leong begin by removing fat from donor areas such as your abdomen, thighs, or flanks using a thin tube called a cannula. This technique utilizes low suction to minimize trauma to the fat cells, thereby maintaining their health. Once collected, the fat is spun in a centrifuge or filtered to separate the strongest, most viable cells from fluids and oils.
Next, the purified fat is reinjected into your breasts through a series of carefully placed incisions. Instead of depositing large amounts in one area, your surgeons will layer the fat in multiple thin threads throughout the breast tissue. This increases blood supply to the grafted fat, which improves long-term survival. The result is fuller, softer breasts that look and feel natural, while donor sites are also contoured.
What Is the Recovery Process Like After Breast Fat Grafting?
After breast fat grafting, you can expect mild swelling, bruising, and soreness in the breasts and donor areas. Most side effects improve within one to two weeks; however, some swelling may persist for a few months as your body heals. Many patients return to light activities within 5 to 7 days and resume more strenuous exercise after 4 to 6 weeks. The full results become more visible as swelling subsides and the transferred fat settles naturally over 3 to 6 months.
To support a smooth recovery, you should:
- Wear compression garments on donor areas for 4 to 6 weeks
- Avoid direct pressure on your breasts for at least 2 weeks
- Sleep on your back to protect the grafted fat
- Resume light walking within 24 hours to encourage circulation
- Limit heavy lifting and vigorous exercise for 4 to 6 weeks
- Attend all follow-up visits to monitor healing and results
