Who it's for

Who Each One Is Actually For

The question is not which is better. It is which is right for you.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Suits You If…

Your own fat tissue—no foreign material — and that is the thing you want changed. Your consultation confirms whether your anatomy supports it.

Implants Suits You If…

Silicone or saline implants. There are patients for whom this is the better answer, and we will say so.

Sometimes It Is Both

Combining is common and often costs less than doing the two separately, because they share a facility and an anesthetic.

Sometimes It Is Neither

If neither fits what you want changed, a surgeon telling you that is worth more than one booking you in.
