This is a new procedure, developed from liposuction techniques. It is used to fill in dents or defects in the breast, or to enlarge a breast. It involves taking fat from one part of the body, for example, the inner part of the thigh or the abdomen, and then carefully injecting it into the breast. It may be done in two or three stages and can be done using a local anaesthetic.
