Enhance Shape and Volume with Natural Fat Transfer
At Ferguson Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, we offer fat transfer in San Antonio. This helps patients gain natural-looking volume and shape using their own fat. This advanced procedure offers subtle, balanced breast enhancement without implants and can also be used to restore volume in areas of the face.
During breast augmentation with fat transfer, excess body fat is removed from a donor site. The fat is purified and then placed into the breasts or targeted areas of the face to restore volume. This technique, called autologous fat transfer, uses your tissue for natural results with little visible scarring.

Why Choose Fat Transfer Surgery?
Over time, changes in breast size, body composition, and skin elasticity can affect overall breast shape and volume. Many women prefer a natural breast augmentation approach that enhances the breasts without relying on silicone implants or traditional breast surgery. Fat transfer is also used to restore volume in the face, helping address areas that appear hollow or less defined with age.
Fat transfer surgery offers dual benefits. It removes excess fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, and also improves breast shape or restores volume in the face. The result is a more balanced silhouette and natural-looking results that match your body type and goals.
For patients seeking a modest increase in volume without the risks of implants, fat grafting offers a reliable and effective solution.
Common Reasons Patients Choose Fat Transfer
Desire for natural breast augmentation using your own tissue
Preference to avoid breast implants or concerns about implant rupture or capsular contracture
Interest in subtle volume enhancement rather than a significant size increase
Availability of sufficient fat in a donor area for transfer
Desire to improve contour by removing excess fat from other areas of the body
Interest in restoring volume in the face for a more refreshed appearance
During the transfer process, Dr. Ferguson removes fat with a liposuction cannula. The fat cells are purified, then injected with precision. This achieves smooth, balanced contour and symmetry.

Benefits of a Fat Transfer Procedure
Natural Enhancement Using Your Own Fat: A fat transfer procedure uses transferred fat from your own body, eliminating the need for implants while creating soft, natural breast volume or restoring fullness in the face.
Dual Body Contouring Benefit: Fat is gently removed from a donor site, helping improve body contour while enhancing the breasts or refining facial volume.
Minimal Scarring: The procedure uses small incisions. This results in less scarring compared to traditional augmentation or more invasive facial procedures.
Lower Risk of Implant-Related Complications: No implants are used, so there is no risk of implant rupture or capsular contracture. This makes fat transfer an appealing option for patients seeking a natural approach.
Subtle, Natural-Looking Results: Fat transfer offers a modest increase in volume. It is ideal for those seeking subtle enhancement in the breasts or a more refreshed appearance in the face rather than a dramatic change.

Recovery Process & Results
Most patients experience swelling and mild soreness for the first several days. Light activity can typically resume within 1 week, while more intense exercise should wait 4–6 weeks to support proper healing.Most patients experience mild swelling and soreness in both the breasts and the donor area for the first several days following fat transfer surgery. When fat is transferred to the face, patients may also notice temporary swelling or fullness in the treated areas. Light activity can typically resume within one to two weeks, while more intense exercise should be delayed for several weeks to support proper healing.
As swelling goes down and the transferred fat settles, the breasts appear fuller and more natural, while facial areas look smoother and more refreshed. Some fat is reabsorbed, but the rest gives lasting results. Dr. Ferguson gives you a personal recovery plan and follow-up schedule for smooth healing.

Maintenance & Revision Options
Results from fat transfer breast augmentation can last long-term. Facial fat transfer can also provide lasting improvement, though changes in aging, weight, and fat retention can affect overall results. Some patients add sessions to boost volume or refine results over time.
Dr. Ferguson offers revision and enhancement options. These include additional fat grafting or combining with other techniques if you want to adjust contour or volume in the breasts, face, or both.
