Fat Transfer to Breasts in San Diego: What You Need to Know

Yes, it’s called PerCup™ and it’s a natural fat transfer procedure for breast augmentation.

Yes. We give you numbing creams and the technology is very gentle and painless. No general anesthesia used, and this reduces risk throughout the treatments.

This is a partial skin tightening procedure. However, it is also for shaping and filling the breasts. This does provide a lifting effect in addition to augmentation. A breast lift would involve cutting out excess skin which SculpTite doesn’t do.

Entry points are created above and around the nipples, and under the breast crease. This is where entry points are made with the biopsy punch tool after enough fat is harvested and treated. Once healed, the entry points leave a scar only the size of a freckle.

Yes, the entry points are barely noticeable, and they are hidden when wearing a bikini. The biopsy punch tool makes this entry point, and it’s made in the breast crease.

The entry points are in the breast crease called the inframammary fold and is not visible with the bikini. Entry points around the nipples are visible initially but this heals quickly and appears scarless after recovery.

Age doesn’t affect results. Our only requirement is that you must be over 18 years old.

This depends on how much harvestable fat the patient has and account that some of the grafted fat is reabsorbed after. You may transfer as much as you want, and you can talk to your surgeon about your goals.

Yes, it does. SculpTite technology is very careful, precise, transfers fat with high precision, and creates a much more natural look. Breasts are mostly made of fat, so a graft procedure will allow them to look bigger, feel, and move more naturally.

Yes, it does. After an initial reabsorption period, even with exercise or fat gain, proportions are maintained for the most part. 30% more fat must be transferred to account for the reabsorption. Results after the reabsorption is complete will be permanent even if the patient gains weight.

No, there is very little pain as the technology is gentle and precise, however we may offer you numbing creams. The sensation is reported by patients feeling like an electric toothbrush vibration.

Yes, we numb the breast area and the transfer area beforehand.

You must wear it for as long as the surgeon recommends, which is usually two to three weeks after treatment.

Yes, you can work out with a bra, however, we tell you to wait at least two weeks first and we advise you to start taking walks sooner to aid circulation.

Some patients experience a slight stretching in the areola and then return to normal after. The nipples may appear slightly larger but proportionate to other areas because the breasts are enlarged.

Yes, SculpTite is very efficient at making symmetrical results even if your breasts were asymmetrical before the procedure and you may talk to your surgeon about any of your goals. SculpTite is very accurate and leaves no guessing to surgeons for what quantities of fat are transferred.

Our top of the line technology is used to make perfect proportional results. The rapid spin mechanism makes it so surgeons don’t have to guess the amounts of fat needed to be transferred and exact quantities are transferred with mechanical precision. We also take special care of our patient’s body goals or any asymmetries that were preexisting for perfectly balanced proportions.

A few months. You may return to work within 3 to 5 days of your fat transfer, and you may return to the gym after 2 weeks. You must also avoid sleeping or adding pressure to the area for two weeks. Total results can take up to 6 months to completely show.

Yes, but it is very minimal especially compared to liposuction. These effects should dissipate within a couple weeks to a month.

Yes, as long as the patient’s cancer doctor approves. We can even treat only one breast to improve asymmetries and the only condition is that the area to place the fat must be free of scarring.

You can but you will have to remove your implants before we treat you as we do not do it ourselves. We may fill the pocket where the implant was formerly residing to naturally augment breasts.

Yes. We cannot perform the procedure during pregnancy or breastfeeding, however.

Yes, you may breastfeed after the procedure as long as you have already completely recovered. Women get this procedure to help with breast sagginess after breastfeeding as well.

Breastfeeding can cause breasts to sag a little. If you had a fat transfer before breastfeeding, you may experience some changes but not as much as if you didn’t have one done.

Yes, these are goals you may discuss with your surgeon. Fat transfers with SculpTite are all fully customizable meaning that the patient may choose any part of the breast to be enhanced to their preference. We can focus on only the side of or under the breast if preferred.

It will tighten your skin to a certain extent however, sometimes you may need a lift procedure. Targeting armpit fat helps tighten this region and you may also get an hourglass look if you have a broader upper body by removing back and armpit fat during the augmentation procedure as well.

We require 3 post op appointments. First is within one week, the second after 3 months and the last six months after.
