Breast Surgery

Breast contouring with fat grafting

A refined fat grafting touch-up to smooth and balance contour after earlier surgery at Skulpturkliniken.

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.

Quick facts

  • Procedure time: Usually 1--2 hours
  • Anesthesia: General anesthesia or deep sedation
  • Clinic stay: Same-day discharge
  • Recovery: Around 1 week before light daily activity
  • Exercise: Strenuous activity avoided for 3--4 weeks
  • Final result: Settles over 3--4 months
  • Price: Determined after consultation

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.

The best surgeon

I had a circumferential abdominoplasty with Matteo Amoroso, and I can honestly say I couldn't have wished for a better surgeon. From the moment I met Matteo, I felt the sense of security I was looking for. He was kind, attentive, and professional from the very beginning. He took the time to explain everything in detail and answered all my questions, which made me feel well-informed before the surgery. I never had to go home and wonder about anything because he was so thorough in his explanations. It's now been three weeks since my surgery, and even though the healing process is still ongoing, I'm already incredibly happy with the result. The change is greater than I had dared to hope for, and I feel so grateful that I chose Matteo. I have more surgeries I want to undergo in the future, and there's no doubt that Matteo will be my first choice then too. I warmly recommend him to anyone considering plastic surgery!

A pro

I've had two surgeries with Matteo. The first was liposuction on my stomach, and most recently, my eyes – specifically, my lower eyelids and eyebrows. Matteo suggested a unique technique for my eyebrows that no other surgeon had proposed. This allowed me to remove excess skin under my eyebrows without needing an eyebrow or forehead lift, which I wasn't interested in. I'm extremely happy with the results of both my procedures. Matteo is a true professional; he loves his work, and you're always met with kindness and genuine care. He's an excellent communicator, explaining everything clearly and answering all questions and concerns. You feel completely confident in his knowledge and experience. Matteo also has a wonderful ability to make you feel understood; he listens carefully and is just as dedicated and invested as you are in achieving a successful procedure and outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Matteo. I've had surgery 6 times in total, with the last two being with him. Whatever my next procedure may be, I will undoubtedly choose Matteo first again.

The best surgeon

Matteo is an incredibly skilled surgeon whom I highly recommend. I underwent a major tummy tuck, and from the very first consultation, Matteo was professional, calm, and very accessible. He took the time to answer all my questions and made me feel secure, involved, and well-informed throughout the entire process. He thoroughly explained the procedure, recovery, and what results I could expect, which gave me great confidence going into the surgery. Everything went very well without any complications, and I am very happy with the result. I would undoubtedly choose Matteo again if I were to have more procedures in the future.

The best choice for a plastic surgeon!

Dr. Amoroso has performed several operations on me, including a neck and facelift with fat grafting, a lip lift, eyelid surgery, breast and tummy tucks, and liposuction on my knees. All operations have been successful and exceeded my expectations. I have worked with doctors for 50 years and am very impressed by Dr. Amoroso's artistry and skill. He is truly an asset to this profession and to patients who desire excellent results and the peace of mind that comes from being cared for in a responsible and professional manner.

Successful 360 lipo

Matteo is the best surgeon I could ever imagine. I am beyond satisfied. Both the care I received and the results of the 360 liposuction Matteo performed on me have been absolutely fantastic. It couldn't have been better! Everything has exceeded my expectations. Matteo is professional, skilled, competent, caring, reassuring, and experienced. Thank you, Matteo!
