Contact UsWhat is a Fat Transfer to the Breasts?
When a person has weight fluctuations or ages, they lose overall shape in certain body features where volume once existed. One way to regain this lost volume is through a cosmetic treatment known as fat grafting (a fat transfer). A fat transfer takes fat from a place on the body and injects it into a specific place that needs additional volume. A fat transfer can be used on large areas, such as the breasts or buttocks, or on small features, such as the lower eyelid, cheeks, or lips. Fat transfers are often chosen when a patient wants a natural enhancement versus using implants or fillers. New Orleans, LA area plastic surgeon Dr. Mark W. Stalder is skilled at using the most advanced liposuction and grafting methods for performing fat transfers. This body contouring treatment at Stalder Plastic Surgery creates natural-looking, appealing outcomes.
What Happens During the Fat Transfer to Breasts Procedure?
You will be placed under some form of anesthesia when undergoing a fat transfer. The type of sedation or numbing medication will depend on how much fat tissue is being removed, including the location where it will be placed. A form of liposuction is completed via a special cannula to delicately extract the fat so it can be separated and purified through a centrifuge (which prepares the healthy fat for syringes). After preparing the injection site, the healthy fat tissue will be transferred into the breasts. The injection process is performed in layers until the desired outcome has been attained.

- Soft, natural-feeling enhancement using your own tissue

Am I A Candidate for Fat Transfer to Breasts?

The recovery from this surgery compared to the implants from another plastic surgeon was night and day. I knew right then I had chosen the right team this time. Megan is readily available by text for any questions or advice. I cannot say how grateful I am to this amazing team of medical professionals and a simple thank you is not enough. They gave me a quality of life back and I feel I am finally on a forward path. I highly recommend Stalder Plastics to anyone who unfortunately needs their services.

Dr. Mark Stalder is an exceptional plastic surgeon, and my experience with his office came during a particularly challenging time in my life. With a strong family history of breast cancer on my maternal side, I made the decision to undergo a prophylactic double mastectomy with immediate DIEP reconstruction in an effort to prevent cancer. It was a difficult decision, but one that I did not take lightly. I chose to work with Stalder Plastic Surgery, and I am incredibly grateful for that choice. Throughout the process, every question I had was answered, and every concern I faced was addressed with professionalism and compassion. The entire team at Stalder Plastic Surgery supported me every step of the way, offering unmatched care and dedication. Having lost my mother to breast cancer, I am hopeful that I will never have to hear those dreaded words, “you have breast cancer,” in my lifetime.

When I decided to treat myself to a mastopexy for my 50th birthday, I asked some nurse friends who they recommended for a plastic surgeon. They both said they love and trust Dr Stalder and his team. His patients recover well, love their results, and have so much gratitude for Dr Stalder and his team. I am now among them!Without any pressure, Dr Stalder educated me about fat grafting to also add volume. I chose that option instead of mastopexy alone. I knew I’d love my results, but I didn’t fully appreciate how much of a perfectionist Dr Stalder is. He exceeded my expectations!Recovery was easy, results are beautiful, and I take every opportunity to refer people to Dr Stalder, so they can also have the best possible experience.
I had a great experience with Dr. Stalder and his team. He was very kind, informative, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. The staff (Jess) is friendly and welcoming, and Abby, the PA, was excellent as well. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
