Many women want fuller, more balanced breasts but prefer a natural alternative to implants.

With extensive training in breast surgery, microsurgery, and reconstructive procedures, Dr. Cordray provides highly personalized treatments that deliver natural-looking results.
What Is Fat Grafting to the Breast?
Fat grafting to the breast, also known as natural breast augmentation, is a procedure that uses your body’s own fat to enhance the size and shape of the breasts.
The process involves three main steps:
-
Harvesting fat from another area of the body through liposuction
-
Purifying the fat cells to prepare them for transfer
-
Carefully injecting the fat into the breasts to improve volume and contour
Because the procedure uses your own tissue, the results often look and feel very natural.
Benefits of Fat Grafting to the Breast
Fat grafting offers several advantages for patients seeking subtle breast enhancement without implants.
Key benefits include:
-
Natural-looking and natural-feeling results
-
No implants or foreign materials required
-
Improved breast shape and symmetry
-
Simultaneous body contouring from liposuction
-
Minimal scarring compared to traditional augmentation
-
Lower risk of implant-related complications
Many patients appreciate that this technique enhances the breasts while also slimming areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Fat Grafting?
Fat grafting to the breast is best suited for women who want a modest increase in breast size or improvement in contour.
You may be a good candidate if you:
-
Want a subtle increase in breast volume
-
Prefer a natural alternative to implants
-
Have enough excess fat available for transfer
-
Want to improve breast symmetry or shape
-
Are in good overall health
Patients who desire a larger increase in breast size may benefit more from traditional breast augmentation with implants. During your consultation, Dr. Cordray will help determine which option best aligns with your goals.
The Fat Grafting Procedure
Fat grafting is typically performed as an outpatient procedure and involves both liposuction and fat transfer.
The procedure generally includes:
-
Liposuction to harvest fat from areas such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs
-
Processing and purifying fat cells to ensure healthy transfer
-
Strategic injection of fat into the breast tissue to create smooth, natural contours
Dr. Cordray uses precise injection techniques to ensure the fat is evenly distributed and properly integrated into the surrounding tissue.
