Often very slim women desire to have a breast augmentation without silicone with autologous fat or stem cell-enriched autologous fat. Almost always I am able to harvest enough fat to achieve a satisfactory result even in very slim women.
How is this done: Instead of selectively removing fat at a few problem areas such as thighs and hips, in very slim women small portions of fat have to be extracted in multiple regions between waist and lower legs.
For fat harvesting thin microcannulas have to be used. These cannulas allow for very smooth fat extraction in superficial fat regions. Of course this means that fat harvesting is more complicated than in women who have a few problem areas they want to get rid of together with the breast augmentation.
