For many women in Buffalo and Western New York, breast implants are a wonderful way to restore volume and enhance confidence. But sometimes, weight changes or naturally thin tissue can cause visible implant rippling or wrinkling. At Buffalo Plastic Surgery, led by Ivy League–trained plastic surgeon Dr. Tamara Dawli, one of the most effective solutions is fat transfer to the breasts.
What Is Fat Transfer to the Breasts?
Fat transfer (also called fat grafting) is a natural technique that uses your own fat to enhance your breasts. Through gentle liposuction, fat is taken from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, then carefully purified and injected into the breast area.
This not only helps smooth and soften the look of implants, but also shapes donor areas for a more contoured figure.
Why Weight Loss Can Lead to Rippling
Patients in Buffalo who are active, athletic, or who have lost weight often have less natural tissue covering their implants. With less padding, the implant edges can show more easily under the skin, leading to rippling.
This is where fat transfer makes a big difference: it adds a natural cushion of fat over the implant, restoring smoothness and a softer, more natural feel.
Benefits of Fat Transfer for Breast Implant Patients
- Reduces rippling and wrinkling by adding volume where it’s needed most
- Uses your own fat for a natural look and feel
- Improves contour around the breast edges
- Enhances results after weight loss without changing implant size
- Dual benefit of liposuction for body shaping
Is Fat Transfer Right for You?
Fat transfer to the breasts is especially helpful if you:
- Notice rippling or wrinkling with your implants
- Have lost weight and see changes in breast volume
- Want a more natural, soft breast appearance
- Have areas of stubborn fat that could be repurposed
During your consultation at Buffalo Plastic Surgery, Dr. Dawli will evaluate your implants, tissue, and goals to determine if fat transfer is the best approach.
