what to expect
Throughout the process of breast augmentation using fat transfer, patients receive personalized care from Dr. Holland. After a comprehensive consultation, which covers procedure details and expected outcomes, the surgery is performed at an accredited ambulatory center under general anesthesia. The procedure involves two steps: harvesting fat and injecting it into the breasts. Patients may experience temporary swelling and discomfort afterward, managed with post-operative instructions provided by Dr. Holland. Regular follow-up appointments monitor progress, ensuring a satisfying outcome and enhanced confidence. Additionally, depending on the volume increase desired, some patients may require an additional surgery to achieve their desired breast size. Dr. Holland guides patients through this decision-making process, ensuring the best possible outcome.
things to consider before moving forward with fat transfer breast augmentation:
Maximum discomfort will occur the first few days after surgery and then will subside gradually.
It is not unusual to find that one breast is slightly more swollen and uncomfortable than the other.
You may experience temporary soreness, bruising, swelling, and tightness in the breast as well as discomfort in the incision area.
Your breasts will feel firm to the touch and your scars may be red and firm. The scars will soften and fade in time (approximately 6 months).
If you are sent home with drains, they will be removed at a later date in the clinic.
It is generally best to plan to take seven to ten days off before returning to work. If your job is physical, it is not unreasonable to take some extra time.
Expect bruising- the more extensive the liposuction surgery, the more bruising one can expect. Some patients have more of a tendency to bruise than others.
You will be wearing compression over the area treated with liposuction. Compression Wear must be worn all day and night for about 4-6 weeks after surgery.
Please follow this list of medications and supplements to avoid prior to having your procedure.

Dr. Holland's innovative approach to cosmetic enhancements extends to the realm of natural breast augmentation through fat transfer. This procedure, also known as autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation, involves utilizing liposuction to extract excess fat from various areas of the patient's body and then carefully injecting it into the breasts. Dr. Holland's expertise in this field combines precision, artistry, and a commitment to providing patients with a natural and harmonious outcome. This is an option for women who are looking for a small increase in breast size and would prefer natural results, opposed to an augmentation with implants.

“I had realistic expectations for my breasts after augmentation, expecting them to be greatly improved but not perfect, due to my beginning breast size & my own anatomy. My expectations were exceeded. I love my breasts now...they are pretty perfect! They are very natural looking & feeling, and much softer than I expected. My only regret is that I didn’t get them done sooner!”
