Natural Breast Augmentation in Beverly Hills, CA
Each year, thousands of women contemplate the idea of undergoing breast augmentation surgery to improve the appearance and firmness of their breasts. However, not everyone is so thrilled about going under the knife and placing foreign objects in their body for an extended period. Natural breast augmentation is a safe procedure that increases the size and volume of a patient’s breasts using their own body fat. In addition to losing the excess fat from the targeted area of the body, advantages of natural breast augmentation include minimal incisions, reduced scarring, and a reduced recovery period. This procedure removes unwanted fat and uses it to sculpt and contour the breasts safely for an overall pleasing, sculpted figure.
What Natural Breast Augmentation Can Achieve
Youthful Breasts
As the body ages, women often lose volume in their breasts, particularly after giving birth. Significant weight fluctuations and aging can also contribute to a deflated breast aesthetic. Since breast tissue is composed mainly of fat, the procedure takes the body’s fat and transfers it back to the places you want it to be. The fatty tissue that grafts successfully becomes a permanent and natural part of the breasts.
Natural Augmentation
With the help of a highly-skilled plastic surgeon, Beverly Hills patients can augment their appearance naturally without having to use silicone or saline breast implants. That way, patients can comfortably return to their lives with peace of mind and not worry about the risks or side effects associated with breast implants, such as implant rupture, capsular contracture, visible rippling, or implant malpositioning.
Body Contouring
Some patients possess excessive amounts of fat that are unresponsive to diet and exercise. This can occur as a result of aging, pregnancy, or genetics. Fortunately, because natural breast augmentation involves removing excess fat from donor sites and injecting it into the breasts, patients who opt for this procedure can enjoy the additional benefit of body contouring. This approach results in an enhanced and attractive overall silhouette.
The Natural Breast Augmentation Process
Dr. Chiu will analyze the anatomy of your breasts and overall build with advanced VECTRA® 3D technology before determining the best approach for your natural breast augmentation procedure. VECTRA® 3D technology allows Dr. Chiu to take digital images of your chest to create an accurate simulation of how your breasts will appear after surgery.
Liposuction
This procedure involves removal of excess fat via liposuction, processing the adipose tissue to remove impurities, and reinserting the fat cells into the breasts. The fat transfer utilizes one of our liposuction techniques to remove the excess fatty tissue from the waist, abdomen, thighs, back, arms, or buttocks. A cannula (thin metal tube) is used to suction the fat out from one of the desired sites.
Fat Transfer
Dr. Chiu carefully reviews the breasts for augmentation before beginning to inject the purified fat into the breast tissue slowly. The goal of fat transfer is not only to fill up the breasts with fat but to also add volume slowly in small increments. This way, the fatty tissue can attach itself to the breast tissue and survive long after the injection.
Natural Breast Augmentation Recovery in Beverly Hills, CA
The recovery timeline can vary for each patient, varying with factors like age, natural recovery speed, and complexity of the surgery. Dr. Chiu will provide you with a personalized timeline during your consultation based on these factors. However, a general outline can include:
Immediately After
Some minor discomfort, bruising, and swelling can be expected in the earliest stages of recovery. Dr. Chiu will provide you with a thorough recovery guide and supplements to aid the healing process and minimize side effects. Patients are advised to get plenty of rest during this time.
1 week
There may be residual swelling and bruising in the breasts and areas where liposuction was performed. Some patients may feel well enough to return to work at this point in their recovery, but strenuous activities must be avoided.
2 to 3 Weeks
If cleared by Dr. Chiu, patients can engage in light physical activities.
4 to 6 Weeks
Most of the side effects should subside by this time, and all activities, including exercise, may be resumed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate for natural breast augmentation?
Ideally, candidates for the natural breast augmentation procedure include women who:
- Want larger and fuller breasts without breast implants.
- Possess substantial donor fat in the thighs, abdomen, back, buttocks, or arms.
- Have embarrassing asymmetry in the breasts.
- Desire breast reconstruction after breast cancer treatment or lumpectomy.
- Wish to address breast implant-related issues, such as wrinkling or rippling.
Can I undergo natural breast augmentation if I have breast implants?
Dr. Chiu can also perform fat transfer for patients who already possess breast implants to achieve a more natural appearance, to soften the physical touch of the breasts, or to smooth out rippling. Fat transfer can also enhance the appearance of cleavage, which is not possible with breast implants. Dr. Chiu knows that breast implants are not designed to last forever, so if a patient wishes to remove their breast implants, they have the option to have natural breast augmentation performed.
What results can I expect after my natural breast augmentation procedure?
The results of liposuction from the targeted areas are long lasting. Since liposuction contours the desired region by removing excess fatty tissue, the new figure is permanent for those who do not allow their weight to fluctuate. After the natural breast augmentation, patients see the improvements in their breasts over the next few weeks as the swelling goes down and the implanted fatty tissues gradually fuse with the existing breast tissue. You can expect to see improvement in breast size and volume as long as bodyweight remains stable. Since Dr. Chiu is dedicated to providing long-term success for his patients, he will work closely to appoint a customized plan to help ensure your new feminine look remains beautiful and permanent.
How long will my natural breast augmentation procedure take?
A natural breast augmentation procedure is a minimally invasive body contouring technique. The surgery may require more time than a traditional breast augmentation since it involves liposuction and careful placement of fatty tissue, which could last up to four hours depending on the extent of removing the required volume of fat.
