3 minute read
Many women want fuller, perkier breasts, but not all women are candidates for a breast lift, and some women do not want the traditional breast implant, where a foreign object is implanted into the body.
Natural breast augmentation, or breast augmentation with fat graft, may be just the thing for you if you want more youthful, round and perky breasts but want a completely natural feel and no foreign objects implanted.
Here’s how this revolutionary new procedure works. Fat cells harvested from your body, and with a high percentage of stem cells are transferred to your breasts, and this can involve surgical or non-surgical methods, depending upon the exact outcome you are looking for and your specific circumstances.
Dr. Jaime Perez has been working on developing new techniques throughout his career, and while he did not develop this technique is quickly making it his own as it increases in popularity.
WHO IS A CANDIDATE, AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
When the Bravo technique can be used, there is no surgery needed, thus it has a much quicker recovery time and fewer side effects. It is also much less stressful on the body. The BRAVA garment is worn for several weeks; this prepares the breast area for the injections of fat cells. The BRAVA garment causes the skin to grow in a certain way which will help the absorption and survival of the fat cells which are going to be injected.
The fat is harvested from areas of the body, giving an additional boost. As with liposuction and other procedures, it is recommended that you attain your ideal weight before undertaking this procedure.
IS IT SAFE AND EFFECTIVE?
‘Fat transfer’ or natural breast augmentation has been found to be safe and effective according to a study published in the plastic surgeon’s trade magazine, the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery official journal.
The BRAVA system has been used for more than 10 years, and has proven results. Increase in cup size with this system was an average of one cup size or more without breast implants, and the sizes remained stable after one year. Not only is an implant avoided, but the enhanced and augmented breast will have perfect texture and feel because the material used comes from the patients’ own body!
In 2009 the American Society of Plastic Surgeons published a study supporting the use of this procedure for reconstruction and enhancement purposes. Since then the procedure has gained broader and broader acceptance and use. There are many reasons to prefer this treatment, although the procedure you choose may involve implants.
That is up to you and your plastic surgeon, but rest easy in the knowledge that Dr. Jaime Perez offers this treatment because he want to provide the treatments that will work best for all patients, and this form of natural breast augmentation is well suited to a wide variety of women.
Come in to see Dr. Perez; during the course of a free consultation, he can go over the advantages and disadvantages of this procedure – it may not be for everyone, but it also may be just the thing you were waiting for; a completely natural method of increasing your bust size, increasing your confidence and feeling of self-worth!
