AirSculpt® Fat Exactly Where You Want It

Yes, we perform a natural fat transfer breast augmentation called the Up a Cup™. 

Ideal candidates typically:

• Have sufficient fat reserves for transfer

• Desire a modest breast size increase

• Are in good overall health with no severe medical conditions

• Maintain a stable weight, as fluctuations can affect results

• Have realistic expectations about the procedure's limitations and outcomes

• Are non-smokers

Whether for body contouring or volume enhancement, breast fat transfer is an excellent option for those seeking a more natural approach.

As board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kevin Hanz explains, while breast implants can provide a dramatic augmentation, they come with several possible risks, like adverse reactions or damage to the implant. That said, they provide a more predictable outcome than fat transfer. Conversely, with a fat transfer to the breasts, patients can naturally enhance volume with a minimally invasive procedure. This approach also removes stubborn fat from another area like the abdomen or thighs, providing dual benefits at once. Results are almost always softer and more natural than implants, and this procedure can be done with patients fully awake, avoiding the risks of general anesthesia.

Patients always stay awake during AirSculpt procedures, including natural fat transfer boob jobs such as the Up a Cup™. A key advantage of local anesthesia is that it drastically reduces risk throughout the treatment and allows patients to remain in constant communication with the surgeon at all times.

While fat transfer breast augmentation is generally safe, some potential risks include:

• Fat reabsorption – Some transferred fat may not survive, leading to volume loss.

• Asymmetry – Uneven fat absorption may cause slight differences in breast size.

• Cyst formation or calcification – Small lumps may form, though they're usually harmless.

• Infection – Though rare, it can occur if post-op care is not followed correctly.

Choosing an experienced surgeon minimizes these risks and improves the likelihood of a successful breast fat transfer outcome.

By enhancing your breasts naturally with your own fat, the Up a Cup™ will provide a lifting effect in addition to augmentation. However, a breast lift also includes cutting out excess skin, which fat transfer breast augmentation procedures do not do. 

After enough fat has been harvested and treated, entry points are made precisely above the nipples around the areola and under the breasts in the crease for a successful fat transfer.

AirSculpt procedures reduce the visibility of any entry points by creating them where they can be easily concealed, using an exclusive, two-millimeter-wide biopsy punch tool instead of scalpels. That said, the entry points underneath the breast crease, called the inframammary fold, will not be visible at all in a bikini due to their placement location. The entry points around the nipples may be visible initially, but this area heals quite quickly and will almost always appear scarless after recovery.

No, age will not affect the results of an AirSculpt fat transfer breast augmentation. The only requirement is that patients are over 18 years of age.

There is no specific quantity of fat we can or cannot transfer to the breasts. The answer depends on how much excess, harvestable fat the patient has and how much their body reabsorbs the grafted material.
