This method is particularly suitable for natural breast augmentation with minimal scarring and harmonious results, especially for those seeking a subtle increase in volume—right here in Hanover.
At our specialist practice for plastic and aesthetic surgery in Hanover, we place great emphasis on customized treatment plans—especially when it comes to breast augmentation using autologous fat. This method is particularly suitable for patients who desire a subtle increase in volume while avoiding silicone implants.
Our goal with breast augmentation using autologous fat: a particularly natural-looking result that complements your body shape—without visible scars and with a pleasant feel. We use state-of-the-art techniques for fat processing and injection to achieve the highest possible survival rate and volume stability.
Even after breast surgery (e.g., implant removal) or in cases of asymmetrical breasts, autologous fat transplantation can gently correct the breast contour. The method is also ideal for fine-tuning after other breast surgeries or for reconstruction following prior surgery for breast cancer, as recent study results show.

We have many years of experience in autologous fat transfer for breast augmentation. This technique is ideal for subtle volume enhancement and décolletage contouring—resulting in an extremely natural appearance.
If silicone implants have been removed, breast augmentation using the patient’s own tissue can help gently restore shape and volume—without the use of foreign materials.
Even following previous procedures (e.g., breast surgery or reconstruction), the autologous fat transfer method allows for harmonious correction or augmentation. Studies have shown that patients rate the results of autologous fat transfer following breast cancer surgery more highly than those achieved with implants.
The procedure is performed in two coordinated steps (all-in technique):
1. Fat Harvesting
Fat is gently extracted from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips via liposuction—tailored to each patient’s individual body composition. Our advice: there is always enough fat!
2. Autologous fat transfer to the breast
In the next step, the harvested fat is injected into the breast in fine layers—targeted and precise for an even, aesthetic result.
The results of breast augmentation using autologous fat are generally permanent—because the transplanted fat tissue connects to the blood vessels and thus becomes part of the breast tissue. After autologous fat transplantation, approximately 60–80% of the injected volume is retained by the body in the long term. Some of the transplanted fat is broken down by the body in the first few weeks. Gentle fat harvesting and precise injection technique are crucial for the longevity of breast augmentation with autologous fat. If more volume is desired, a second treatment is easily possible and can be repeated after a few months.
Limitations of the Method
Autologous fat transfer for breast augmentation is ideal for moderate enlargement of about half a cup size to a maximum of one cup size. If significantly more volume is desired, breast augmentation with implants or a so-called hybrid technique may be considered.
