Fat Grafting Breast Augmentation with Dr. Marie Noland | Langley, BC
Expensive push-up bras, uncomfortable adhesive strips, unreliable gel pasties, and irritating tapes. Most women, at some point, have used one or more of these methods to enhance or define the shape of their breasts to best fill backless, strapless, or cleavage-baring outfits. These time-consuming and often uncomfortable attempts to accentuate the breasts can be frustrating and exhausting. For the last thirty years, breast augmentation with fat grafting has been carefully researched and developed by plastic surgeons. It has become a successful alternative to breast implants for patients who would rather avoid implants. After years of refining the technique and carefully assessing the safety benefits of fat grafting, breast augmentation using a woman’s own fat is now becoming more popular than ever.
Fat grafting for breast augmentation has become one of Dr. Marie Noland’s passions at her Langley, BC practice because of its ability to produce a subtle lift, shape, and volume to the chest. Her experience and commitment to procedural perfection and patient safety directly benefit each patient, as each treatment is individually customized to provide optimal cosmetic results. Dr. Noland can guide you through the procedural process to determine if you are a good candidate for fat grafting surgery.

What Is Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting?
Breast augmentation with fat transfer is a two-in-one procedure that eliminates stubborn fat from areas like the abdomen, chin, thighs, hips, or buttocks while simultaneously adding volume to and shaping the breasts. Using targeted liposuction, Dr. Noland extracts fat from a donor area and purifies it. Once refined, the fat is carefully and strategically injected into the breasts to improve natural contours and size.
What Are the Benefits of Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting in Surrey, BC?
The benefits of breast augmentation with fat grafting are two-fold: it helps eliminate unwanted fat—areas like the double chin, stubborn belly fat, or love hands—while enhancing the appearance of the breasts. Fat redistribution through this minimally invasive procedure allows precise body sculpting that aligns with your aesthetic objectives.
Consequently, the cosmetic outcome of a fat transfer breast augmentation creates results that look and feel natural as the procedure uses your body’s own organic materials. Additionally, transplanting purified fat to the breasts does not require the surgical incisions necessary for breast augmentation with implants. This minimally invasive procedure prevents the formation of scarring, further enhancing the natural appearance of your breasts.
Fat transfers are traditionally performed as outpatient procedures that use local anesthetic injections. In comparison, traditional breast augmentation procedures are always performed in an operating room under general anesthesia. Breast augmentation with fat grafting allows patients to achieve their ideal silhouette while avoiding having an extensive amount of time for recovery.
How Is Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting Performed?
On the day of your procedure, you’ll arrive early at Dr. Noland’s office, where you’ll have a chance to meet our expert nursing team, who will start your preparations for treatment. During this process, Dr. Noland will answer any of your last-minute questions, address any further concerns, and map out areas where she would like to focus. These markings help illustrate and guide Dr. Noland’s treatment process to help create your ideal results.
Once fully prepared, anesthetic injections will be administered to the select donor sites. Small entry points will be created, which Dr. Noland will use for the liposuction process. A cannula will be inserted under the skin, and precise suction will be used to extract the available fat from the donor area, eliminating unwanted fat deposits, further sculpting your figure.
The extracted fat is refined to remove impurities. Once the fat has been purified, the final product is drawn into sterile syringes. The breasts are then numbed with injections lidocaine to allow for optimal comfort and a pain-free process. Dr. Noland will then strategically inject the refined fat to give your breasts precise volume to complement your figure and create your desired aesthetic.
Are You the Perfect Candidate for a Vancouver Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting?
Breast augmentation with fat grafting is best suited for non-smoking patients who are at a healthy and stable weight and seeking a mild to moderate increase in their breast size without using implants. Ideal candidates for this procedure are women who have small or asymmetrical breasts but still have healthy skin elasticity and only moderate sagging of the breasts. Other prerequisites for breast augmentation with fat transfer include the presence of unwanted fat pockets sufficient enough for the transplant portion of the treatment.
Patients with a personal or family history of breast cancer may not be suitable candidates for this procedure. Dr. Noland may require a baseline mammogram and ultrasound of your breasts before scheduling the procedure to ensure your maximum safety.
Additionally, fat transfer to the breasts is not ideal for women with large, drooping breasts as it will not provide a significant lift. To address skin laxity, Dr. Noland may recommend combining fat transfer breast augmentation with a breast lift.
During your consultation, Dr. Noland will review your medical history and evaluate your situation so that she can recommend the appropriate procedure to ultimately achieve your desired outcomes.

Recovery After Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting in Langley, BC
The minimally invasive nature of breast augmentation with fat grafting allows for a recovery that is quicker and less involved than traditional breast implant surgery. Most patients can resume normal activities within five to seven days after surgery. However, we recommend that patients avoid strenuous exercise for at least two weeks. Patients undergoing more extensive body sculpting procedures with liposuction or those with higher-volume fat pockets may take up to two weeks to recover from the liposuction portion of the procedure.
Most patients report only mild discomfort after their procedure, which usually resolves within twenty-four to forty-eight hours. We recommend that patients take over-the-counter pain medication every four to six hours to manage pain. Still, if necessary, patients are given stronger medication for the first two days of their recovery.
Following a fat transfer augmentation, swelling and bruising around the donor and transplant areas should be expected. These effects will improve within a week after surgery and completely resolve within two weeks. Starting lymphatic massages three days after your surgery can significantly help minimize swelling and reduce healing time. Once we release you to return home after your procedure, we will provide you with a comprehensive list of instructions to help guide your recovery and make it as effective and swift as possible.
When Will You See the Results of Your Fat Transfer to Breast?
Immediately after your procedure, your breasts will look and feel significantly fuller; however, some of this increased size results from post-procedural swelling. The swelling will subside after two to four weeks, and the grafted fat will settle into its permanent position.
Around 50 to 70% of the grafted fat will survive the transplant process. The final results of your fat grafting procedure may take up to six months to fully appear and appreciate. This prolonged wait period is greatly rewarded by permanently enhanced and sculpted breasts.
It’s important to note that the fat that survives the graft process will respond like any other fat if you experience weight fluctuations. It’s important to maintain your healthy diet and exercise routine to sustain your results.
