Enhance Your Breasts Without Artificial Implant

Breast fat grafting at Tucson Plastic Surgery offers a natural-looking, implant-free way to enhance breast shape and volume. Dr. Silvia Kurtovic and Dr. Raman Mahabir approach each fat transfer with artistry and precision, sculpting your ideal contour by transferring fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs to the breasts. This minimally invasive technique combines the benefits of body contouring with subtle breast enhancement, all in a warm and welcoming environment where your desired outcomes are our top priority.

What is Breast Fat Grafting?

The body naturally changes with age, hormonal shifts, and gravity, sometimes affecting breast volume and shape. Fat transfer to the breasts offers a natural enhancement by using liposuction to harvest fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or back. This technique is ideal for women seeking a modest increase in breast size with natural-looking results, avoiding the need for implants. The advantages of fat transfer for breast enhancement include the following:

  • Achieves natural-looking breast volume and shape
  • Uses your body’s own fat, avoiding synthetic implants
  • Reduces fat in donor areas for enhanced body contour
  • Provides a soft, natural texture to the breasts
  • Offers a long-lasting solution with minimal scarring
  • Supports proportionate, balanced body aesthetics
  • Lowers the risk of allergic reactions or implant complications

The Breast Fat Grafting Procedure

The fat transfer process involves three main steps, and some patients may need repeat sessions to achieve the desired results.

Harvesting

Your plastic surgeon will identify the ideal area for fat removal. After numbing the area with a local anesthetic, a small incision is made, and liposuction is used to gently harvest fat. Common donor areas include the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and back.

Purification and Transfer

The harvested fat is purified by a centrifuge, which removes any impurities. The pure fat cells are then prepared in small syringes for precise injection.

Placement

The targeted areas of the breast are prepared, and the purified fat is injected in small, controlled amounts to achieve the desired shape. The surgeon may gently massage the area to create a smooth, natural contour.

Fat Transfer Recovery Process 4-6 Weeks

Expect some initial swelling and bruising, which will fade over time, allowing the final results to emerge as your breasts take on a fuller, softer shape. As the transferred fat establishes a new blood supply, results become long-lasting, though a small percentage of fat may not survive. Your surgeon will provide detailed aftercare instructions for optimal healing and support. If you have any questions or concerns post-surgery, our team is here to assist you.

You could not dream of a better team than Tucson Plastic Surgery. From the minute you walk in the door, every person you encounter is compassionate and welcoming. For going through such a scary process, they were patient, informative, and made it so much easier to digest. It truly feels like you have a team fighting for your health and advocating for your well being. Both Dr. Kurtovic and Dr. Mahabir are caring, confident, and masters of their craft. Doctors and nurses alike were there at the drop of a hat for any issues that arose post-op, and were always more than happy to take calls/emails and reassure me. I felt extremely taken care of and cannot recommend them enough. Bonus: their advocacy efforts are commendable and the office is gorgeous! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I cannot say enough about the level of care and concern from the team at this facility. They were all so kind and patient as they helped me achieve the results I wanted post mastectomy. They made the experience so much less traumatic then I had anticipated. I was stunned at how amazing I looked post surgery. I would HIGHLY recommend both doctors! They are amazing!

I had the pleasure of working with both Dr. Kurtovic and Dr. Mahabir for my mastectomy to implant reconstruction and revision with fat grafting. I cannot say enough about Dr. Kurtovic and Dr. Mahabir along with Virgina and the rest of the Tucson Plastic Surgery staff during what was certainly a fast and frightening year of my life. Both surgeons and staff were so positive, reassuring and compassionate from the minute I walked in for my first consultation. Dr. Kurtovic and Dr. Mahabir put my nerves at ease with their warm care and attention to detail in every aspect of their practice. I was lucky to have both surgeons of this amazing practice be the lead surgeon of my two procedures. I am so thankful to Tucson Plastic Surgery and the work they do. I am extremely happy with the results, and I can safely say with the help, support and guidance of Dr. Kurtovic, Dr Mahabir and Tucson Plastic Surgery, I’m ready for the next year and to be on the other side. I cannot thank you enough for your care and gratitude.

Met with Dr. Mahabir to discuss reconstruction options. Walking into his lobby, my husband and I immediately found comfort as the area is inviting and beautifully designed!! The rooms are just as beautiful and tranquil. I loved his confidence and his knowledge in breast reconstruction. He gave me my options and we selected 2! Double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction (implants), once I finish chemo, we'll go back in for my final surgery (DIEP flap). Dr. Mahabir was professional, kind and compassionate which is what you want from your surgeon! His staff were also very welcoming and kind. I highly recommend Dr. Mahabir for your reconstruction needs!!

What an amazing surgeon and staff. Dr Mahabir and Nicole Baca were awesome!! My experience with a breast reduction/reconstruction due to breast cancer 17 years ago was perfection. I'm so happy with the results and I'm just 6 weeks out. Did a Tummy Tuck for fun and can't wait to see final results in a few months. Fabulous all the way around from scheduling, to surgery to post op visits. Worth the 5 hour round trip drive from N Scottsdale to Tucson. Thank you...happy beyond words!

Both Dr. Mahabir and Dr. Kurtovic are health care providers who care for patients with dignity, and quality care. My mom was Dr Mahabir's patient, and she was treated with respect, humility and patience as we were trying to understand reconstructive surgery after my mom's breast cancer diagnosis. I am in deep appreciation for Dr. Mahabir and the care he provided to my mom; he practiced active listening, and treated both of us as human beings (something you rarely see in the health care system; especially, managing a cancer diagnosis). All staff at Tucson Plastic Surgery, since the moment you walk in are attentive to patients' needs. Both my mom and I felt welcomed and in positive spirits as soon we walked into Tucson Plastic Surgery's space. I am specially grateful for Virginia Van, Patient Care Coordinator at Tucson Plastic Surgery for always answering our questions promptly, and making sure we fully understood everything regarding my mom's care pre and post surgery. After the cancer diagnosis, every visit with Dr. Mahabir became a positive experience, and a break from the myriad of testing and doctor visits my mom and I had to attend. Tucson Plastic Surgery created a space for my mom and I to find relief and look forward to a life after cancer. Thank you for all your work!

Highly recommend Dr. Mahabir and his team! He listens well, is excellent at what he does and overall my experience was nothing but positive.

Nothing but good things! Dr. Mahabir and his staff have been wonderful throughout my surgeries and recovery. I had a preventative double mastectomy and immediate reconstruction in June and just this week had an implant exchange. The pre-care and after care has been nothing short of excellent!

I won’t have enough room to say everything good I have to say. Dr Mahabir changed my life. I have lived with neck and upper back pain for over 20 years. It’s gone now. Gone. Thanks to not taking advil for the pain my GERD is gone now too. As a side benefit one of the supplements I was given for better surgery outcomes has virtually eliminated my post nasal drip due to allergies. There is virtually no scars tissue from the procedure. The only thing left after three months are red lines. Much less than I was told to expect. On my skin these red lines will be gone on less than a year. My only regret is that is did not do this procedure sooner. This office is so professional. Staff answer calls immediately. I never felt like I couldn’t call and get answers to questions or concerns. The recovery was a breeze and I did listen to Dr M when he told me not to over do things because I felt so great. I followed directions with great care and had an incredible outcome. Dr M has a detailed preparation and post op protocol. He really knows what he is doing.
