Fat Grafting Breast Augmentation Tucson

At Tucson Plastic Surgery, we understand that breast augmentation with fat grafting is a deeply personal choice for women seeking a natural-looking, subtle enhancement. Dr. Silvia Kurtovic and Dr. Raman Mahabir combine their advanced expertise in breast surgery with a compassionate approach to help you achieve a lifted, fuller appearance without implants. By using fat from other areas of your body, they create contours that are uniquely yours, bringing artistry and skill to each procedure in a setting designed to make you feel at ease every step of the way.

About Fat Grafting and Breast Lift

Fat grafting, or natural breast augmentation, uses liposuction to transfer fat from another part of your body, such as the abdomen or thighs, to the breasts. This approach offers a modest increase in breast size with the added benefit of contouring the donor area, making it a popular choice for women seeking a gentle, natural enhancement.

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is performed to elevate and reshape the breasts by lifting the nipple and areola to a higher, more youthful position. Excess skin is removed, and the breast tissue is tightened and reshaped to restore firmness. A breast lift can be transformative for those who experience sagging or volume loss, enhancing both body image and confidence.

Why Seek Augmentation with the Breast Fat Grafting Technique?

Many women notice natural changes in breast shape and volume over time due to factors like aging, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. A breast lift with fat grafting at Tucson Plastic Surgery combines the benefits of a lift with a subtle volume enhancement using the body’s own fat, creating a youthful contour without implants. This technique is ideal for those seeking a natural-looking result that combines lifting and volume. Our patients typically experience the following benefits from this procedure:

Naturally enhanced breast volume without implants
Improved breast shape and lift for a more youthful contour
Customizable results using your body’s own fat
Reduced sagging with a firmer, elevated breast position
Combined body contouring through liposuction of donor areas
Minimal scarring with careful incision techniques
Long-lasting results that adjust naturally with body weight changes
Enhanced body confidence and self-image

About the Procedure

Breast Lift

Your surgeon may recommend either a lollipop or anchor incision based on your anatomy. During the lift, the nipple and areola are elevated, and the breast tissue is reshaped for a more defined contour.

Fat Transfer

Your consultation will include choosing the best area for fat removal, such as the abdomen or thighs. Liposuction removes fat, which is then purified and injected into the breasts in small, precise amounts, allowing it to integrate naturally for lasting volume.

Breast Lift with Fat Grafting Recovery Process 4-6 Weeks

Following surgery, some swelling and bruising are expected and should subside within a few weeks. Patients can usually return to work within 1-2 weeks, resuming exercise after 4-6 weeks. Around 60-70% of transferred fat survives long-term, with results adjusting naturally as body weight changes. Detailed aftercare instructions from your surgeon support a safe, smooth recovery.

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.

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.

Elective cosmetic procedures, like breast lifts, are not typically covered by insurance. However, we offer financing options to make this procedure more accessible.

Do I need a breast lift or just implants?

If you experience significant volume loss or sagging after pregnancy or weight loss, a lift is often recommended to remove excess skin and elevate the breasts. Implants or fat grafting can be combined for added volume.

Do you still have feelings in the nipples after a breast lift?

A breast lift requires incisions that will leave scars, but these generally fade well over time. We prioritize early scar care for optimal healing.

Does a breast lift make your nipples less sensitive?
