Puregraft is a device that is used to purify the fat that has been collected during the liposuction procedure. The fat is placed in the Puregraft device, which removes any blood, oil, and other contaminants from the fat using a filtration process. The purified fat is then ready to be injected into the desired area.

Puregraft is designed to improve the survival rate of the fat cells after they are transplanted, which can increase the chances of a successful fat grafting procedure. However, the use of Puregraft or any other fat purification device does not guarantee the success of a fat grafting procedure, and the results of the procedure can vary widely. It’s important to discuss the potential benefits and risks of fat grafting with a board-certified plastic surgeon before making a decision.

While fat grafting can provide a natural-looking increase in breast size and fullness, the results are less predictable compared to a procedure such as breast implants. Some of the fat that is injected may be absorbed by the body over time, and repeat sessions may be required if you desire increase in more than 1 cup size.

Some potential advantages of fat grafting to the breast include:

• Natural-looking results: Because the fat used in the procedure is your own, the results can look and feel more natural than those achieved with breast implants.
• No risk of rejection: Because the fat used in the procedure is your own, there is no risk of rejection or allergic reaction, as there can be with breast implants.
• Safe: Fat grafting is generally considered a safe procedure, with a low risk of complications.
• No scarring: Because the fat is injected rather than implanted, there are no scars on the breast itself. The only scars will be from the liposuction procedure, which are typically small and well-hidden.

The amount of downtime needed after fat grafting of the breasts can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the procedure. Most of our patients are able to return to work and normal activities within a few days, while others may need a week or more to recover. It also depends if your job is a sedentary job or one that requires you to move around more.

In general, you can expect to experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort after the procedure. Your surgeon will provide you with specific instructions on how to care for the treated area and manage any discomfort. You may be advised to wear a special bra or garment to support the breasts and help with swelling. Garments are also needed for the areas of fat harvest. You should also avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for at least a few weeks after the procedure to give your body time to heal.

A good candidate for fat grafting to the breast is generally someone who:

• Is in good overall health
• Has realistic expectations about the procedure and the results
• Is unhappy with the size or shape of their breasts and wants to increase their fullness or volume
• Has lost volume in their breasts due to aging, pregnancy, or weight loss
• Does not have any medical conditions that would make them a poor candidate for surgery
• Is not pregnant or breastfeeding
• Does not want any to have any foreign material in the body
