Thank you for your question!
Both Dr Chui and Dr Tham have given you very clear points to consider with regards to fat grafting and implants for augmentation of the breasts.
In my practice, I break it down very simply for my patients:
Can they accept implants in their body? If yes, then implants always deliver a consistently better shape and size improvement that is stable over time. If no, then fat grafting is their only alternative.
Concurrently, is the improvement in the appearance of the breast more important or the liposuction more important? If it is the breast appearance, almost always, implants deliver a better result. If liposuction is the priority and “by the way” filling of the breasts are desired, then fat grafting can be a very good alternative with a satisfactory outcome.
The intricacies of each are best explained thoroughly in a consultation.
I hope this helps!
Best regards,
Dr Samuel Ho
