Fat Transfer to Breast in Beverly Hills, CA
What if you could slim down one area of your body, and increase your breast size at the same time? That is exactly what breast fat grafting allows you to do. This breast enhancement procedure is different from traditional breast augmentation, because we do not implant foreign bodies to increase the breast size. Instead, Dr. Golshani uses a gentle liposuction procedure to remove fat from your chosen area, cleans and processes that fat, and carefully places that fat in your breasts.
Our Beverly Hills patients like the idea of this natural breast augmentation for many reasons including the ability to slim down another area of their body, very low chance of a bad reaction since we’re using your own tissue, and no risk of capsular contraction. It is important to keep in mind that breast fat grafting is not the best choice for significant breast size increases. Instead, if you are looking for a moderate increase in breast size, breast fat grafting may be a good option for you.
While natural breast augmentation, or fat grafting of the breasts, is a very safe procedure, it’s essential that you choose your surgeon carefully. When performed by an inexperienced surgeon, this procedure can lead to infection, disfigurement, pain, and the need for more extensive surgery to correct the outcomes. Dr. Golshani is a highly experienced surgeon, so you can rest assured that you can trust both his medical skill and his ability to help you achieve your esthetic goals.

Breast Revision Surgery FAQs -Beverly Hills, CA
Discover a natural alternative to implants with fat transfer breast augmentation. Dr. Daniel Golshani, a double board-certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, answers key questions about candidacy, benefits, risks, recovery, and long-term outcomes.
Fat transfer breast augmentation, or autologous fat grafting, is a procedure that enhances breast size using your own fat. Liposuction is performed on areas like the abdomen or thighs, and the purified fat is injected into the breasts for a natural look and feel—no implants required.
Ideal candidates:
- Want a modest size increase (½ to 1 cup size)
- Have enough donor fat in areas like the stomach or hips
- Prefer natural, implant-free enhancement
- Are in good health and have realistic expectations
Fat transfer can increase breast size modestly. Results depend on:
- Amount of fat harvested and retained
- Breast tissue elasticity
- Body’s ability to integrate the grafted fat
Most patients retain 60–80% of transferred fat long-term. Some resorption (20–40%) occurs in the first 3–6 months, but the remaining fat becomes a permanent part of the breast tissue.
- No foreign objects or implants
- Natural softness and movement
- Simultaneous **body contouring and breast enhancement**
- Minimal incisions and scarring
- No risk of rupture or capsular contracture
Yes. Fat transfer may not be suitable for:
- Patients seeking a large size increase (more than 1 cup size)
- Individuals with very low body fat
- Those needing a breast lift (this procedure does not lift sagging breasts)
- Mild swelling and bruising in liposuction and injection sites
- Return to light activities in a few days
- Full recovery in 2–4 weeks
- Avoid direct pressure on the breasts during early healing
- Fat resorption or volume loss
- Fat necrosis or oil cysts
- Microcalcifications on mammograms
- Possible need for revision or touch-up
Dr. Golshani’s techniques minimize these risks through precise fat purification and injection.
Yes. It’s often combined with:
- Breast lift (mastopexy)
- Implant revision for softness or ripple correction
- Liposuction or body contouring for proportional enhancement
Transferred fat can lead to benign findings like oil cysts or calcifications. These are distinguishable by experienced radiologists. Always inform your radiology provider of your surgical history.
