Breast implants are both an uncomfortable and potentially very dangerous way to get the breasts you wish you had. Some of the potential problems that come with breast implants include:

Breast implants break – No breast implant will last forever. Almost everyone who has breast implants will experience a break at least once. Silicon can leak into your surrounding tissue and cause medical complications, and the look that you were going for may end up gone forever.

Pain – Breast implant surgery is painful, and the pain doesn’t always resolve when you heal. One of the potential long term complications of surgical breast augmentation is the growth of painful scar tissue near your implant area that may need more surgery to remove.

Cancer Screening Issues – Silicon implants will make breast cancer harder screen for and harder to detect. Regular mammograms can also put enough pressure on breast implants to occasionally cause a rupture.

Breastfeeding Issues – Many women who get silicon implants end up having a decreased or absent milk supply when they try to breastfeed later. Frequently, young women who get implants when they don’t think breastfeeding will matter end up regretting the decision later in life.

Cancer – Breast implants put you at risk for a rare type of cancer called anaplastic large cell lymphoma. While there aren’t many cases of this cancer per year, any side effect that may cause death makes implants a bad idea.

With these potential side effects stacked on top of the infection and complication risk of surgery, it is surprising that any women at all are willing to get breast implants. Go to http://naturalaugmentation.com/ to find out more about natural breast augmentation that won’t put you at risk.

When implants are inserted to enhance the breast, they normally need to be replaced every ten years. With natural breast augmentation, that is no longer an issue. Using fat and fat stem cells, doctors are able to increase the breast size permanently. This procedure is becoming increasingly popular because aside from enhancing the breast in a more natural way, the area where fat is removed (normally the hips and thighs) becomes slimmer. When this procedure is performed, only small incision need to be made so there is not much scarring. The patient will not have to worry about the risk of rejection because the body will not reject the fat. Sometimes the body will reject an implant because it is a foreign object to the body. The best part about this procedure is that the healing process is very rapid. The entire surgery is much less severe than a breast augmentation with the use of implants. Overall, patients of a natural breast augmentation procedure are quite pleased.

Transferring the fat from one part of the body to the breast can vary in prices. There are several factors when it comes to the cost of a natural breast augmentation. The cost will depend on the city and state in which you are having the procedure, the doctor who is performing the surgery, and how many areas are being treated. Normally, the procedure will cost anywhere from $3,000-$12,000. If you are looking to enhance your breast and want a safer procedure with natural looking results, a natural breast augmentation would be a great choice to make.

(Scottsdale, AZ) Todd K. Malan, M.D.,board certified cosmetic surgeon, has pioneered a revolutionary new procedure, the Natural Breast Augmentation, which employs the latest technologic advances in fat harvesting,adult stem cell transfers and breast splinting technology to provide women the option of enlarging their breasts using their own fat.  The technique results in breasts that look and feel smoother than conventional cosmetic surgery using implants. Stem cells enable the fat to grow its own blood supply, thus becoming an integral part of the breast rather than a foreign lump.  Stem cells have the potential to change into any cells in the body; they are found in most tissues, especially fat.

Autologous fat transfer for breast augmentation and reconstruction has remained a highly debated and controversial procedure following the introduction of these techniques in the U.S. in the late 1980’s.  “Yet, recent advances in fat harvesting and transfer techniques, digital mammography, and the use of adipose derived adult stem and regenerative cells necessitate a re-examination of this longstanding bias against fat transfer breast augmentation,” says Malan.

With Natural Breast Augmentation, fat is harvested and collected with Body-Jet fat harvesting device utilizing saddlebags, love handles, lower abdomen, buttocks and thighs for sites of fat donation.  The procedure is unique in that we use the latest technologic advances in fat harvesting as well as adult stem cell transfers. Cell-enhanced reconstruction uses adipose fat that is a rich source of stem and regenerative cells. These stem cells are not the controversial embryonic stem cells. This new procedure uses a special process to ensure that the transplanted cells will live and adapt to the transplantation site (breasts).

After fat removal, the cells are transferred to the Stem Cell processing device which is used to separate regenerative and stem cells from fat cells. The regenerative and stem cells are then washed, concentrated, and enzyme activated.  The activated stem cell mixture is then combined with the fat cells and then injected into fat that is already present in the breast where it fills in and replaces tissue volume.

The injection of the fat along with the stem cells results in a permanent 250cc to 500cc overall breast size increase, allowing for a 1 or 2 bra cup size increase. A pressure splint is then used after the procedure to ensure that the fat remains in place and assists in promoting regeneration of the transferred fat and stem cells.

There are several advantages to Natural Breast Augmentation.  Saline or silicone implants which are considered the standard for cosmetic breast augmentation and reconstruction show complication rates to be as high as 25% with a re-operation rate of 100% at 10 years. Additionally, implants can obscure 15-50% of normal breast tissue on screening mammography making early detection or follow-up of cancer difficult.

Fatty tissue does not exhibit reactive inflammation, rejection, or autoimmune disease. Natural Breast Augmentation results in excellent cosmetic result including a natural feel to the breasts that is reproducible and permanent. Unlike implants this procedure will not interfere with future mammograms.  The procedure, performed in conjunction with liposuction allows artistic body re-contouring to complement breast augmentation for a new total-body look.
