Robert Whitfield MD explains the difference between breast implants, which are rigid devices that project outward, and fat transfer, which adds volume by placing fat between skin and tissue. The choice depends on what look a patient wants.
Of course, a breast augmentation with the implant is a very different procedure. The device is rigid and it projects and pushes tissue away. A fat transfer is a treatment that accentuates the natural breast form. It's in a different position. It's between the skin and fatty layer, really above the breast tissue, not like an implant, which is behind the breast tissue or behind the muscle or behind both. You really have to undergo, like an examination of what are your expectations using these techniques. If you're the the patient, what are you seeking to change visually because.
