A Soft, Natural-Looking Way to Enhance Your Breasts

For women interested in a breast augmentation but unsure of implants, a fat transfer breast augmentation in Westlake Village and Thousand Oaks may be the right fit. As a leading female plastic surgeon in the area, Dr. Stark works with technical mastery and an artist’s eye to bring a soft, balanced enhancement to the breasts.

What Is a Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?

A fat transfer breast augmentation utilizes purified fat from the patient’s own body to enhance breast volume and create a fuller shape. Unlike typical augmentations, the procedure does not use implants of any kind, resulting in soft, natural-feeling outcomes. 

Often, women opt for a fat transfer breast augmentation due to benefits like the following:

  • Artistic shaping based on your unique proportions
  • Dual contouring effect on the breast and body from the fat transfer
  • Refinement of subtle asymmetry
  • Subtle volume enhancements after body changes like pregnancy and weight loss
  • Natural-feeling results without visible implant edges

Your Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation in Westlake Village and Thousand Oaks

Assessing Your Goals and Donor Sites

Your one-on-one consultation will begin with an in-depth discussion of your aesthetic goals and concerns for this process. Then, Dr. Stark will evaluate your body’s natural contours and available donor sites to determine the safest and most effective approach for fat transfer.

Preparing the Body Through Liposuction

Dr. Stark will begin your fat transfer augmentation with liposuction on your chosen donor site, often the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. This process collects fat for transfer while creating a subtle contour along the body, ensuring your final result is effortless and proportional.

Purifying the Fat for Transfer

All collected fat will be carefully purified to separate healthy cells that are suitable for transfer. This is done to improve cell survival and support your long-term breast tissue health.

Transferring the Fat to the Breast

During your fat transfer breast augmentation in Thousand Oaks, Dr. Stark will use specialized syringes to inject your purified fat into the breasts. By targeting specific layers of breast tissue with each injection, she’ll shape volume gradually and create soft, natural-looking results.

Thank you, Dr Stark, for making my life HAPPIER!!

“Dr Stark and her medical team are amazing. Went in to have an Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and the care is excellent. Currently at 9 weeks post surgery, swollen a lot less, and loving my results so far. Going into surgery, I was nervous about the after-pain because I heard several horror stories of how painful it is. Surprisingly, my pain level was mild ( 1-10 I was at 2). My experience exceeded my expectations from the consultation, to surgery, to post op. Dr Stark, Sabrina Esquivel, and the whole team have been very caring and attentive, and delivered an A+  service. Thank you, Dr Stark, for making my life HAPPIER!!”

- A.Q.

I cannot thank Dr. Stark enough.

“Dr. Stark is not only a meticulous professional and at the top of her field, but she and her team are one of the warmest and most engaged treatment teams I have ever met. Dr. Stark and Sabrina walked me through every moment of the procedure and recovery, and they were attentive and responsive. Her nurses in recovery were incredibly kind and thorough. Dr. Stark’s sense of humor mixed with her attention to detail makes her truly exceptional, and she makes you feel understood. The results of my mini abdominoplasty with liposuction were beyond anything I would have imagined. I cannot thank Dr. Stark and the Schwartz Institute enough.”

- C.B.

Dr. Stark is absolutely the best plastic surgeon.

“Dr. Stark is outstanding! She is an artist and a perfectionist. For years, I questioned if my prophylactic mastectomy was worth it because I didn’t love the way I looked. I booked a consultation with Dr. Stark to correct an encapsulated breast implant. She was thorough and made me feel comfortable. The morning of my procedure, as she was marking me, I knew I was not going to regret the results I would be waking up to. I have never felt so confident and happy with my body as she has made me feel. From her pre-op routine and post op routine that helps your body heal quickly without any complications, to her amazing skill of injecting with Botox and Filler, Dr. Stark is absolutely the best plastic surgeon.”

I would definitely go back to Dr. Stark in the future...

“I highly recommend Dr. Stark! I had liposuction and excision of axillary breast tissue performed by Dr. Stark in October 2023. She is incredibly knowledgeable and explains every step in a clear, comforting manner. She does not push procedures and, in fact, recommended I hold off on several additions to my procedure that I was interested in. I had no problems with my healing and am incredibly pleased with the results so far. The nursing and administrative staff are also top-notch. They are all so friendly and responsive, and I never felt awkward about any part of the process. I would definitely go back to Dr. Stark in the future if I ever want to have anything else done.”

“I am beyond grateful to Dr. Stark for completely transforming my life. The results are absolutely stunning.

I can’t say enough about how truly amazing Dr. Stark has been...

“I can’t say enough about how truly amazing Dr. Stark has been through my surgical journey. I had two babies back to back and couldn’t get my body back to a place of feeling like me again. I met with her, and I knew right then and there that her vision was my vision. She saw exactly what I was saying and made me feel so comfortable making the decision to move forward with a Mommy Makeover procedure in her surgery center. She recommended a Breast Implant with a Lift, some Liposuction, and Upper and Lower Eyelids. She is a true artist. I am two weeks post-op and this experience is life-changing. I couldn’t be happier with how everything looks. I finally feel confident again, and just in time for summer. I one hundred percent recommend her to anyone who is looking to inquire about cosmetic surgery. You will not be disappointed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Dr. Stark!!!”

- D.M.

Dr. Stark is extremely thorough and so supportive...

“Dr. Stark performed an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and some lipo to my bra line and flanks. To say my expectations were met is an understatement!! I am so thrilled with my results. After four children, I definitely noticed an overall lack of confidence in my body, and that confidence has been restored! Dr. Stark is extremely thorough and so supportive throughout the entire process. I have no regrets whatsoever and would highly recommend Dr. Stark for beautiful results.”

- T.M.

I highly recommend Dr. Jennifer Stark!!

“Dr. Stark performed an upper blepharoplasty for me, and I'm thrilled with the results!! It was a simple (virtually painless) procedure, and the recovery time was minor. Dr. Stark is brilliant, and she's a true artist. Not to mention she's so lovely along with her staff. I highly recommend Dr. Jennifer Stark!!”

Planning Your Recovery

Due to the dual nature of this procedure, recovery from a fat transfer augmentation includes healing at both the donor sites and the breasts.

Most patients experience minor swelling, soreness, and a feeling of fullness immediately after their procedure, which typically subsides over the following days. Patients are usually able to return to their daily activities within a week, and can resume impactful exercise in the coming months.

Dr. Stark’s post-operative care is marked by personalized, hands-on recovery and careful health monitoring. She’ll send you home from your fat transfer augmentation with comprehensive recovery support, including the following:

  • Extensive aftercare instructions
  • Compression garments for the breasts and donor sites
  • A follow-up appointment schedule for long-term care

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Frequently Asked Questions

Who is an ideal candidate for a fat transfer breast augmentation?

The ideal candidates for a fat transfer augmentation are healthy, nonsmoking women who have adequate donor fat available for use. Dr. Stark must remove more fat than she will use during this process, and patients with low body fat may benefit from implants instead.

Will a fat transfer breast augmentation leave visible scars?

Incisions for a fat transfer augmentation are small and typically do not lead to scarring. Most patients find that their scars fade nicely over time, and Dr. Stark can recommend additional treatments to further reduce scar visibility.

Can a fat transfer augmentation be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Some women opt to include a subtle breast lift with their fat transfer augmentation to enhance their figure and provide additional support. A fat transfer can also be combined with an implant removal or exchange to refine the breast shape and create a soft, natural-looking appearance.

How long do fat transfer results last?

Results from your fat transfer breast augmentation can be lifelong with proper health monitoring and long-term care. As you heal, fat cells will settle into their new position and remain there for life.
