Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation In Miami, FL

Dr. Pazmiño is an expert in fat grafting, with thousands of cases across every scale: large-volume grafting to the hips and buttocks, small-volume grafting to the breasts and muscles, and micro-fat grafting to the face and other delicate areas. His technique for the breast includes:

• Fat prepared specifically for the breast: Every area of the body needs fat prepared in a different way. For the breast, Dr. Pazmiño uses a centrifuge to separate and isolate the healthiest fat, so only high-quality fat is used for your graft.
• Ultrasound guidance for even, natural results: Dr. Pazmiño always uses ultrasound guidance during breast fat transfer. It lets him see the structures beneath the skin and distribute the fat evenly, shaping a smooth contour with the greatest possible projection.
• Planning for a second session: When fat is moved from one part of the body to another, some of it is naturally reabsorbed; depending on the patient, about 30% to 60% of the transferred fat can dissolve. For this reason, many patients choose a second round of fat grafting to add more volume, shape, or projection.

• Dr. Pazmiño developed the ultraBBL® and is a recognized authority on BBL safety who teaches surgeons internationally, so fat grafting is central to his expertise.
• He has practiced plastic surgery since 2003 and has performed more than 10,000 surgeries. Because many of those surgeries combine several procedures, they include more than 900 fat transfer breast augmentation procedures.
• He is known for advanced body contouring, so he sculpts your donor areas with the same care he gives your breasts.
• Certified and held to the highest standards: Dr. Pazmiño is a board-certified plastic surgeon, certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS). He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and The Aesthetic Society (ASAPS).
• Trained at the best, and now training others: He graduated with honors from Harvard University and earned his medical degree with distinction from Baylor College of Medicine. He also completed his general and plastic surgery residency there and served as Chief Resident. Today he teaches the next generation of plastic surgeons as a Clinical Assistant Professor of Plastic Surgery at the University of Miami and the University of Pittsburgh.
• His peers have entrusted him with some of the most important roles in his specialty: As Associate Editor of the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, the #1 scientific journal in aesthetic surgery, he helps decide which research and techniques reach plastic surgeons around the world. He brings that knowledge straight to your care.
• He helps write the safety rules other surgeons follow: He serves on the Board of Directors of The Aesthetic Foundation, where he is Treasurer and Co-Chair of the Scientific Research Committee. He is also Chair of The Aesthetic Society’s Patient Safety Committee. Closer to home, he serves as Treasurer on the Board of Directors of the Florida Society of Plastic Surgeons. He helps set the standards surgeons follow across the country, and he follows them for you.
• Honored for keeping patients safe: He received the Tiffany Award from The Aesthetic Society and the Patient Safety Award from The Aesthetic Foundation.
• Hospital-level care: Your surgery takes place in a hospital or an accredited surgical facility, with dedicated nursing care and closer monitoring.
• A national leader who still makes time for you: Even with these national roles, Dr. Pazmiño takes the time to listen to your goals, explain every option, and care for you personally.

You may be a good candidate for fat transfer breast augmentation if you:

• Want a modest increase of about one cup size and a more rounded shape
• Prefer a natural look and would rather not have breast implants
• Have enough donor fat on your abdomen, flanks, back, or thighs
• Are at a stable weight that you plan to maintain
• Are in good overall health and do not smoke
• Have realistic expectations about how much fat will remain

If you are very slim or want a dramatic size increase, breast implants may serve you better. If your breasts sag significantly, Dr. Pazmiño may recommend pairing fat transfer with a breast lift.

Fat transfer breast augmentation offers a natural alternative for patients who want a subtle enhancement. Key benefits include:

• Fuller breasts using your own tissue, with no implant
• A soft, natural look and feel
• Slimmer donor areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs
• Tiny cannula incisions instead of larger implant incisions
• No implant rupture, capsular contracture, or future implant replacement
• Improved upper-breast fullness and subtle correction of mild asymmetry

Healthy fat cells need good blood flow to survive, so preparation matters. Dr. Pazmiño will give you personalized instructions, which usually include these steps:

1. Stop smoking and all nicotine products several weeks before surgery, as nicotine reduces fat survival.
2. Reach a stable, healthy weight and avoid dieting right before your procedure.
3. Complete any lab work, mammogram, or medical clearance Dr. Pazmiño requests.
4. Avoid aspirin, certain anti-inflammatory medications, supplements, and alcohol, as directed.
5. Purchase your compression garment and a soft, wire-free support bra.

1. Avoid underwire or compressive bras on your breasts until Dr. Pazmiño clears you, as pressure can harm grafted fat.
2. Sleep on your back so that you don’t press on your breasts.
3. Wear your compression garment on your donor areas as directed.
4. Eat a balanced, protein-rich diet and stay well hydrated to support healing.
5. Keep your weight stable in the months after surgery to protect your results.
