• Natural fat transfer breast augmentation-the Body Jet technique

    Posted on August 22nd, 2011 admin No comments

    For years, women have dreamt of having their breasts augmented using their own fat. The idea is to get rid of unwanted fat deposits and naturally augment breasts in the same session.

    Prior attempts at autologous fat transfer to the breast have not proven to be constantly successful .
    They were successful in some cases , but no so in others, in summary the results were very unpredictable.

    New techniques in Natural Breast Augmentation employ the latest technologic advances in fat harvesting.
    The principle of these techniques is that they “wash and filter” fat instead of “centrifugation”.

    “Wash and filter “techniques are much better to handle and our current scientific data suggests that they also give superior results in fat transfer breast augmentation.
    We believe that the less the fat is manipulated the higher the survival, provided of course that the harvesting process is gently enough to keep fat cells alive.

    The Body Jet technology (also known as “Aqua-Lipo”) in the U.S. is currently the best option for “wash and filter techniques.
    It has been extensively “road tested” and scientific data gained is impressive.

    Since Body Jet natural fat transfer breast augmentation does also eliminate unwanted deposits of fat, mostly from thighs, flanks and abdomen, at the same time, patients suitable for this breast augmentation modality do also seem to be much happier with the final results.

    The procedure will not interfere with future mammograms because the fat is never injected into the breast gland directly, but in different planes around the breast.
    After fat transfer breast augmentation the breasts are more like natural breasts.

    Other advantages of natural fat transfer breast augmentation are massive:There is no need for implant exchange ever nor any risk of implant related complications.

    From my surgical perspective, the handling characteristics are also a crucial advantage of the Body Jet.
    The simultaneous irrigation , suction and filtering process has made natural fat transfer breast augmentation much more user friendly.
    Previous centrifugation techniques were extremely time consuming and a lot of fat was lost during the preparation process.

    With Body Jet, we do normally need about 1-1,5 hours to complete the breast augmentation procedure, which is done under local anesthetic.
    That makes natural fat transfer breast augmentation a much more realistic alternative for many patients.
    In our Marbella practice, natural fat transfer breast augmentation does already make up for about 60% of breast augmentation cases, with numbers further rising.

  • Breastfeeding after breast augmentation?

    Is not normally a problem after straightforward breast enlargement, since the majority of techniques does not interfere with the breat tissue itself, but works underneath the breast muscle or the breast gland.
    Scientific data shows that 25% of women having had breast augmentation surgery cannot breastfeed.The number of patients who cannot breastfeed although not having had any breast augmentation surgery is also 25%……this means identical.
    Therefore, there is no correlation between breast augmentation surgery and breast feeding.

    The same applies to modern technqiues of breast augmentation with fat transfer. This is a technique very much favoured by us.

    We do follow the protocol of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons here, which demands to strictly limit the placement of fat grafts to subcutaneous and intramuscular planes, and never to inject fat directly into the breast gland.

  • Is mammography necessary before aesthetic breast surgery ?

    Posted on July 4th, 2009 admin No comments

    The decision depends also on the preference of the individual surgeon; it is not absolute necessary.

    In our Cirumed Clinic specialist group, we solved the question in the way that a highly qualified gynecologist furnishes patients before breast enlargement, breast uplift or a breast reduction with a so-called 4-D- ultrasound. Mammgraphy Dr. Aslani Cirumed Clinic Marbella

    Dr.Ramin Pakzad, extremely experienced in the field of  breast disease and especially in the area of the breast cancer treatment and is our partner in these cases and since I can absolutely depend on the accuracy of his assessments, I prefer the ultrasound diagnostics done by him.

    That provides me and my patient the security of a thorough preoperative diagnostics and saves young patients partly extensive -x-ray exposure.

    A possible history of breast cancer within the family will also endorse the indication for preoperative breast screening. There are different approaches to breast screening before aesthetic surgery like breast augmentation, but we regard this one as best. Suspective findings in the age group seeking for breast augmentation are lessthan 0.5%, but nevertheless they occur.

    Although the chance of a positive finding is very low especially in young patients, who are the majority of patients requesting breast augmentation, it still merits the effort. “If we are able to spot 1:1000 breast cancer cases just by the coincidence of screening for a breast augmentation operation, it was totally worth it”, says Dr.Pakzad, who teams up with Dr.Aslani and two oncologists forming a breats cancer unit in the Malaga area.

    The 4-D-ultrasound technique does also play a significant role in spotting ruptured implants after breast augmentation.
