Breast Implants vs Fat Transfer for Breast Augmentation
Which is better… an implant or fat transfer for a breast augmentation? Will it give me a more natural looking result?

One of the questions that I often get from both groups is how long will my implants last? I tell my patients that we really don’t know. In general, they are very robust.

Previously, I wrote about the Mommy Makeover and what the recovery process entails. Today I am going to do the same for breast augmentation. Breast augmentation is one of the most satisfying surgeries to perform as a surgeon. It gives women a fuller, beautiful breast with minimal recovery time.
