The benefits of hybrid breast augmentation include the following:
Customised approach
Unlike traditional breast implants, which come in predetermined sizes and shapes, a hybrid breast augmentation allows a more personalised approach to achieving the desired results. It allows the correction of any minor volume asymmetries between each breast, which is very common and often cannot be corrected easily with predetermined implant volumes. Can also target enhancement of specific areas such as the cleavage, rather than positioning the implant more medially and disrupting the support structures of the breast.
Natural look and feel
Combining breast fat transfer with breast implants can provide a more natural look and feel to the breasts. In addition, the look can be customised, which can be more aesthetically pleasing than traditional breast implants.
Reduced risk of complications
Hybrid breast augmentation can help reduce certain risks of traditional breast augmentation such as capsular contracture, as the transferred fat contains stem cells.
Proportioned augmentation
By combining fat transfer with breast implants, a more balanced and proportionate volume increase and appearance can be achieved. Smaller implants can be used by combining implant and fat grafting, resulting in less weight and force exerted on the breast soft tissue. A more natural look is achieved as the soft tissue-to-implant ratio is better maintained.
Implant masking
In slim patients who desire an augmentation, there is a risk of the edge of the implant being visible and potential rippling in the contour of the implant. Hybrid breast augmentation helps protects against this possibility as a smaller volume implant can be utilised and the injected fat can help mask the implant through more soft tissue cover.
