What it is
Breast contouring with fat grafting is a refinement procedure offered to patients who have had breast surgery at Skulpturkliniken within the previous 12 months. It uses small amounts of your own fat to smooth minor contour irregularities, soften a visible edge, or improve symmetry once the breast has settled from the original procedure.
This is not a primary augmentation. It is a focused touch-up that addresses the small, predictable refinements that can become apparent only after healing is complete. Fat is harvested by gentle liposuction, processed, and placed precisely where extra softness or fullness is needed.
Because it builds on a known surgical history, planning is straightforward and targeted. The aim is a more balanced, natural contour rather than a change in size. All procedures carry risks, and results vary.
What it can refine
- Minor contour irregularities after breast surgery
- A visible implant edge or step-off
- Small differences in symmetry
- Softness and smoothness of the upper pole or cleavage
It cannot correct major asymmetry, significant malposition, or substantial volume problems, which may need revision surgery rather than a fat touch-up. It does not lift sagging tissue.
Before the procedure
Because the procedure follows recent surgery at the clinic, your history and imaging are already known. You will receive refreshed instructions on medication, supplements, smoking, and fasting, and the specific areas to refine are agreed together.
During the procedure
A small volume of fat is harvested by liposuction, gently processed, and injected in fine passes precisely where smoothing or added fullness is needed, with continuous attention to symmetry against the opposite breast.
After the procedure
Swelling and mild bruising at the breast and donor sites ease over one to two weeks. A support garment is worn as advised. The refined contour becomes clear over a few months as the grafted fat stabilizes.
Results: what it can and cannot achieve
A smoother, more balanced contour is achievable. The touch-up cannot guarantee perfect symmetry, cannot fix significant structural problems, and cannot guarantee how much fat survives, so a small amount may be reabsorbed.
Possible risks and complications
Fat grafting is generally safe, but all procedures carry risks. Possible risks include:
- Bruising at the breast and donor sites
- Infection
- Partial reabsorption of grafted fat
- Fat necrosis or small firm areas
- Calcifications on imaging
- Residual or recurrent irregularity
Smoking impairs fat survival and healing, so smoking cessation is advised before and after the procedure.
Who it suits
This procedure suits patients refining a recent result at Skulpturkliniken. It is especially suitable for patients who:
- Had breast surgery at Skulpturkliniken within the past 12 months
- Have a minor contour or symmetry refinement once healed
- Have enough donor fat for a small graft
- Want a natural improvement rather than a size change
- Are in good general health and do not smoke or can stop before and after the procedure
It is not intended for patients without recent surgery at the clinic, or for those needing correction of significant asymmetry or malposition, which is addressed through revision surgery.
Why Skulpturkliniken
Breast surgery by Dr. Matteo Amoroso
Contouring touch-ups at Skulpturkliniken are performed by Dr. Matteo Amoroso, who carried out or oversaw your original procedure, so refinement builds on a complete understanding of your surgical history.
Natural, balanced results
Dr. Amoroso treats refinement as part of the full surgical journey, using small, precise grafts to balance the contour while preserving the natural result that was planned from the start.
Reconstructive precision meets aesthetic judgment
Because the relationship is already established, planning is open and direct. Dr. Amoroso advises honestly whether a fat touch-up will achieve your goal or whether a different approach is more appropriate.
Individualized assessment
Every refinement begins with a focused assessment. We evaluate:
The settled result of the original surgery
Specific contour or symmetry concerns
Available donor fat
Skin and tissue quality
Whether grafting is the right tool for the goal
Realistic expectations for the refinement
What Does Surgery Cost?
The costs of treatments are listed in the price section and often don't change. However, the price depends on the extent of the procedure, the technique used, anesthesia, surgical time, and whether additional procedures are combined.
Every operation is individually planned, and the final price is discussed clearly during consultation after Dr. Matteo Amoroso has assessed your anatomy, goals, and surgical needs.
All surgical prices include one of the most extensive, transparent, and safe warranty programs. The price is designed to be comprehensive and includes everything related to the operation, from consultation and surgical planning to the procedure itself, compression garment when applicable, direct access to Dr. Matteo Amoroso and the medical team, and unlimited follow-up controls during the first year.
