At Tork Plastic Surgery, we view fat as a "biological filler." Dr. Tork specializes in Autoaugmentation, a process where he harvests fat from areas of unwanted fullness—such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs—and meticulously reinjects it into the breast. This dual-benefit procedure contours your donor sites while providing a soft, natural enhancement to your chest.

Precision Harvesting and Processing

The success of fat grafting depends entirely on the survival of the transferred cells. Dr. Tork uses a gentle, low-pressure harvesting technique to protect the integrity of the fat.

• Purification: The harvested fat is purified to remove excess fluids and oils, leaving only the most robust, high-quality fat cells.

• Multi-Plane Injection: Dr. Tork injects the fat in tiny droplets across multiple layers of the breast tissue. This ensures each cell has access to a blood supply, which is critical for long-term retention.

Hybrid Enhancement: The Best of Both Worlds

For patients who desire the crisp shape of an implant but want the soft "feel" of natural tissue, Dr. Tork often performs Hybrid Augmentation. By combining a smaller Motiva® or Natrelle® implant with fat grafting, he can camouflage the edges of the implant and create a seamless transition to the chest wall, especially in patients with very thin natural tissue.

Recovery and Longevity

Because there are no large incisions, recovery from fat transfer is often faster than traditional augmentation.

• Donor Site: You will experience some soreness and swelling in the area where liposuction was performed, similar to a deep bruise.

• Retention: While the body naturally absorbs a small percentage of the transferred fat, the cells that remain after 3 to 4 months are permanent and will fluctuate naturally with your weight.
