Procedure steps and method
Fat graft transfer begins with liposuction to harvest fat from a donor area such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. The harvested tissue is then processed to remove impurities and excess fluid, leaving healthy fat cells ready for transfer. These cells are carefully layered into the breast through multiple small injections to build shape and volume.
Because the process uses many small injections, the surgeon sculpts the breast as fat is placed, and the donor site gains contouring as well. Dr. Sahar has performed hundreds of these transfers for cosmetic and reconstructive indications and received an ASPS Best of the Best award for his fat grafting work.
Benefits and trade-offs
Fat grafting offers a natural-feeling enhancement without implants, but the increase in size is generally modest. Not all transferred fat survives — some cells are reabsorbed — so final volume can be less than the immediate post-procedure appearance. Patients and surgeon set realistic goals together to match expectations with what this technique can safely deliver.
More than one session, spaced several months apart, may be needed to reach the desired shape or volume. Each additional procedure allows placement of more fat while observing how previously transferred tissue has integrated, balancing the advantage of natural tissue with the trade-off of staged treatment.
Choosing treatment in Beverly Hills
The institute is located in Beverly Hills near the Golden Triangle and Santa Monica Boulevard, convenient for patients from West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding neighborhoods. Appointments can fit into workdays or hotel stays and take advantage of local access routes such as Wilshire and La Cienega Boulevards and nearby Metro connections.
A consultation at Plastic Surgery Art and Science Institute evaluates donor-site availability and the breast’s current shape, then compares realistic outcomes against personal goals. In this guided visit, Dr. Sahar will explain whether fat grafting is a better option than other approaches and outline what follow-up sessions might look like.
