For years, women have asked cosmetic surgeons, "Can you take some fat from down there and put it up here?" Prior attempts at autologous fat transfer to the breast have not proven to be successful due to poor techniques resulting in less than optimal fat survival. Dr Malan’s Natural Breast Augmentation technique employs the latest technologic advances in fat harvesting, adult stem cell transfers, and breast splinting technology to provide women the option of enlarging their breast using their own fat without the use of un-natural implants.
The Body-Jet device utilizes pulses of water to gently harvest the fat. The fat is then processed to extract and activate the stem cells. These stem cells greatly enhance the fat survival. The stem cells are then concentrated with the fat and injected in the breast. The injection of the fat along with the stem cells results in a permanent 250cc to 500cc overall breast size increase. This would allow for a 1 or 2 bra cup size increase. A pressure splint is sometimes used after the procedure to ensure that the fat remains in place and assists in promoting regeneration of the transferred fat and stem cells.
The end result is enlarged breasts that are very natural appearance and feel without the risk of implants. Unlike implants this procedure will not interfere with future Mammograms. Dr Malan’s procedure offers women the option of enlarging their breast with their own fat using safe proven techniques that are virtually pain free and with less than 48 hours of off-work time. A recent patient, G.Taylor of Arizona, writes “I was never happy with the sagging and shrinkage in my breast that occurred after child birth and breast feeding. I did not want to have a painful breast lift procedure and implants. Dr. Malan’s procedure has given me back the breast that I had when I was 20.” Featured Article: Natural Breast Augmentation
FAQ’s
I have heard that this procedure is controversial?
For 20 years the major U.S. Plastic Surgery society denounced Fat Transfer to the Breast as a dangerous procedure. This decision was based on technology and techniques used 20 years ago. Recent developments and results from our patients prompted the recent lift on this ban in March 2009. Many Plastic Surgeons are unaware of the new and improved techniques or of the recent lifting of this ban and still advise patients against this procedure. The common myths you will hear from doctors who have not followed these recent changes are;
- 1. Myth: Most of the fat doesn’t survive so more than one surgery is needed
- Truth: New techniques have proven an 85-90% fat survival. Stem cell techniques have shown fat survival to be even higher. The alternative breast implants need to be replaced every 10 years and problems such as scarring and rupture are common.
- 2. Myth: Calcifications caused by the surgery can interfere with mammograms
- Truth: Studies have proven that newer digital mammograms can easily evaluate calcifications in the breast whereas the alternative procedures, Breast Implants, block more than ½ of the breast from the view of mammograms.
Who is the ideal candidate?
Anyone who desires a permanent increase in breast size that is natural in appearance. The Natural Breast Augmentation is ideal for the person who has lost fullness in her breast due to age, weight fluctuations, and breast feeding. A 1-2 cup size increase and more fullness are expected from this procedure. However the person who would not be happy with anything less that a 2-3 cup size increase should consider Breast Implants.
Is this similar to the Stem Cell Breast Augmentations being used in Japan?
Yes, we offer stem cell enhanced fat transfer to improve fat survival.
Why should I chose Dr. Malan?
The recent lifting of the ban on this procedure many doctors have begun offering fat transfer to the breast surgery. The lift on the ban was due in part to Dr. Malan’s technique and Dr. Malan trains doctors world wide in his procedure. In fact Dr. Malan is the first and only certified training course for doctors in the U.S. Unless the doctor has been trained by Dr. Malan they are likely using the old techniques that caused the ban 20 years ago. Doctors trained by Dr. Malan are listed on NaturalAugmentation.com
These doctors have been trained in the newer techniques but Dr. Malan is the only doctor in the U.S. to also utilize the stem cell techniques at this time.
What if I don’t really need liposuction but still want a Natural Breast Augmentation?
Dr. Malan is dedicated to not only giving you natural looking breasts but also great liposuction results. Patients travel from all over the world to have their liposuction procedure performed by Dr. Malan. Dr. Malan can remove the fat without creating lumpiness, skin sagging, or irregularities, even in women with very little body fat. The stem cell procedure allows Dr. Malan to use far less fat to achieve great results.
Stem Cell Augmentation
Stem Cell-enhanced Breast Augmentation uses your own fat tissue (adipose) that is a rich source of stem and regenerative cells. These stem cells are not the controversial embryonic stem cells. Soft tissue transplants have been done for many years, but this new procedure uses a special process to ensure that the transplanted cells will live and adapt to the transplantation site.
Take a Look at the Stem cell Technique

1: Body-Jet Water Liposuction gently removes fat, regenerative, and stem cells from abdomen.
2: Cells go into the Stem Cell processing system.
3: The Stem Cell processing system separates regenerative and stem cells from fat cells. The regenerative and stem cells are then washed and concentrated.
4: The concentrated stem cell mixture is combined with the fat cells.
5: The final mixture is injected into the breast, where it replaces tissue volume.
The Stem Cells when injected with the help to:
- Grow new blood vessels to feed the fat
- Releasing anti-inflammatory substances to aid in healing
- Release growth factors to tighten the skin over the breast
