Patients requiring breast reconstruction may like to consider fat transfer to the breasts at our clinic near Wolverhampton.
Fat transfer to the breasts, or fat grafting, is an innovative technique using the patient’s fat cells.
Breast surgery with fat grafting requires the highest level of training and expertise. In the skilled hands of our breast surgeons, this technique gives our patients excellent results.
Birmingham Breast Group specialises in the treatment of breast cancer and in reconstructive plastic surgery after mastectomy.
If you require our services, please book your consultation here.
Fat transfer or autologous breast reconstruction is an exciting cosmetic procedure that uses the patient’s fat cells instead of silicone implants to create a new breast. This procedure is typically used after mastectomy due to breast cancer treatment or to achieve a modestly sized breast augmentation.
Fat cells are removed from donor sites in other parts of the body using liposuction. After being purified, the fat cells are injected into the breast area to add volume and shape.

There are several benefits to the fat transfer technique over the use of silicon implants, including;
– A more natural appearance and texture to the breasts
– Avoidance of the risks associated with synthetic breast implants, including implant rupture or capsular contracture, which can require breast implant removal
– The opportunity for body contouring at the donor site, typically the thighs, tummy or waist.
Fat transfer is unsuitable for patients who prefer large cup sizes but offers excellent results for smaller breast sizes.
This sophisticated operation can take up to 5 hours and is performed under general anaesthesia.
You will be bruised and swollen after your fat transfer procedure and may require simple pain relief to manage your discomfort.
The fat transfer procedure requires minimal downtime, and our Wolverhampton patients usually feel well enough to return to work after a week.
Your progress will be carefully monitored at a follow-up appointment in the next few weeks.
If you are looking for breast augmentation or reconstruction and prefer modest-sized, natural-looking breasts, then this may be the ideal procedure for you.
You will discuss the procedure in detail at your consultation, when your surgeon will check that you have sufficient fat cells at the donor sites to proceed.

Mr Henderson was kind and understanding and I felt completely at ease with him. He was well informed of my condition and explained his treatment plan to me fully. He has been very attentive in answering emails from me and I really cannot recommend him highly enough. I feel very fortunate to have been in his care.

I have been a patient of Dr Basu since being diagnosed with Breast Cancer a few months ago. Despite the curse of my diagnosis I couldn’t have asked for a better Dr and standard of care. He and his team are super-efficient, have gone out of their way to get fast effective treatment for me and he has super-human levels of patience. During every consultation he has been ever patient, carefully listened to all my questions and concerns then taken the time to explain everything to me and provided constant reassurance. He has been accessible at all times even over weekends and the support has been broad. He looks after you as if you are family and despite having a 90 minute journey to see him at times as we wanted the fastest appointment we couldn’t ask for anything more. Our family see him as an angel not just a doctor for what he has done for us and would recommend him in less than a blink of a eye.

I first met Naren Basu in 2016 at the Queen Elizabeth Women’s Hospital. I had been diagnosed with breast cancer. He is an exceptionally skilled man at putting people at their ease and explaining everything with great patience and candour. He is a consummate professional and really knows his stuff, especially relating to breast cancer. He is very clever, witty, and a super surgeon. He carried out a reduction to both my breasts, removing the tumours at the same time. I was fortunate indeed to have my surgery via the NHS, it would have been very expensive as a private patient but worth every penny. I felt like a million dollars after my operation. I think he is a fabulous man and so skilled on so many levels and outstanding in human kindness.

Nine days before I was due to go on an extended holiday I discovered problems in both breasts. I was lucky enough to get an appointment 3 days before travel. Mr Basu even called me on the day of the appointment to ask me to come in earlier to ensure they had time to undergo all of the tests that evening. Anyone who has had these problems will know how overwhelming it is but Mr Basu took his time to speak to me and explained all of the procedures/tests that would be carried out that evening and possible outcomes. I did have a small procedure and again everything was explained fully and felt quite safe in his hands. The follow up appointments were just as thorough and Mr Basu made sure I understood all that we discussed. If I ever found myself in this position again Mr Basu would be my first port of call.

I am currently under the care of Dr Daniel Henderson at Good Hope Hospital, and I couldn’t ask for better. He listens, and speaks to you in laymans terms so you understand what is going on now and in the future. He talks to you and not at you, and has a very calm and soothing manner. If you are lucky enough to be referred to him, rest assured that you are in good hands, as he gets things actioned quickly.
