This procedure is particularly suitable for those who want a moderate volume, a more harmonious silhouette or a post-explant correction without introducing a foreign body into their body. It can also meet the needs of patients with little breast tissue who want a discreet and gradual improvement in the shape of their breasts. This approach is ideal for people who are healthy, have sufficient fat-donating areas and are looking for subtle, long-lasting and biocompatible results.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-1211\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"2\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-1211\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Why use this technique? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-1211\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-183ecb05 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"183ecb05\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a60709d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5a60709d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Dr. Nicolaidis was fortunate enough to hear the first formal presentation on fat transfer to the face by Sidney Coleman in 2000, when he was still working in New York. Fat is removed from the patient using liposuction, then concentrated and re-introduced in any area of the body desired. In order for the fat to survive, it has to be injected in small quantities and fine lines, surrounded by the patient\u2019s tissues which will vascularize the fat.<\/p><p>In the years following Dr. Coleman\u2019s presentation, progressively larger quantities of fat were transferred to other parts of the body, notably the breasts and buttocks. As larger quantities are injected in an area, more fat loses direct contact with the patients\u2019 tissues, leading to resorption rates around 50% (meaning that 50 % of the transferred fat will disappear over time). If too much fat is transferred, cysts may form which can be misinterpreted on mammograms as possible breast cancer. A work-up then becomes necessary to eliminate possible breast cancer, yet another unpleasant experience for patients who have already suffered enough.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-1212\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"3\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-1212\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Is fat transfer to the breasts safe? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-1212\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-771a7581 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"771a7581\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b5cd200 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5b5cd200\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Initially cautious, Dr. Nicolaidis now proposes fat transfer as a safe alternative. After more than 25 years of use around the world, no study has demonstrated or even suggested an increased risk of breast cancer related to this technique.<\/p><p>The survival of the transferred fat depends on its direct contact with the patient&#8217;s tissues to ensure oxygenation and blood supply. This is why it is injected in very thin lines. When the volume transferred is too large, some of the fat dies, leading to volume loss, cysts or microcalcifications.

If it gets into the area where the implants have just been removed, it will not survive and could lead to infection. For this reason, fat transfers carried out at the time of explantation are only considered:  <\/p><ul><li>If the implants were placed under the muscle, creating a protective barrier<\/li><li>If dissection around the nipples is minimal<\/li><\/ul><p><br>In general, Dr. Nicolaidis recommends delayed fat transfer, between 3 and 6 months after explantation.
