For Patients:
Why Fat
Grafting for
Breast Reconstruction?
Noelle G., Breast Cancer Surivivor & Reconstruction Patient
Fat grafting offers a natural, personalized option for breast reconstruction by using your own fat to restore volume, shape, and softness. It can enhance symmetry,
refine results after implant or flap surgery, and improve the overall appearance of the reconstructed breast, offering a more natural feel.
Fat grafting is often used to smooth contour irregularities caused by mastectomy or lumpectomy, and to thicken the fatty layer beneath the skin—enhancing the overall cosmetic outcome of breast reconstruction.​
​
During the procedure, fat is gently liposuctioned from areas like the abdomen, hips, back, or thighs. It is then carefully purified to remove unwanted components (such as blood oil and other waste products), leaving behind high-quality fat. This fat is then precisely injected into the breast to restore and help enhance shape and softness.
​
Fat grafting can complement most types of breast reconstruction. You and your physician will discuss your treatment plan and determine whether fat grafting is the right option for you.
Puregraft provides your physician with the most predictable fat graft on the market.
Why does this matter? Long-term graft retention depends on the purity of the fat transferred.
​
Puregraft delivers up to 97% pure fat for injection. The superior filtration that the Puregraft system provides results in a concentrated graft of healthy, viable fat cells, which in turn lead to better retention and long lasting results.
