Yes, a breast augmentation can be performed without implants using a technique called fat transfer or autologous fat grafting, where your own body fat is harvested from one area of the body and injected into the breasts to enhance their size and shape. This approach is suitable for patients who desire a modest increase in breast size and have sufficient donor fat available for the procedure.

What is a breast lift?
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that aims to raise and reshape sagging breasts to a more youthful position. It involves removing excess skin, repositioning the nipple and areola, and lifting the breast tissue to achieve a firmer and more aesthetically pleasing breast contour. A breast lift does not significantly change the size of the breasts but rather improves their shape, firmness, and overall appearance.
