The hybrid breast augmentation is a breast enlargement procedure using both implants and your own fat.

Ideal candidate for this procedure is women with breast asymmetry, chest wall deformity such as an indented or prominent sternum and for women who want a more natural look that fat transfer provides but desire more volume than can be achieved by fat alone.

The main advantage of adding fat to a breast implant in a breast augmentation procedure is that the fat can be placed strategically in the cleavage and around the implant to “soften the edges” and give a far more natural look. When a large implant needs to be used, the fat injected will reduce the implant visibility and the risk of rippling.

Another advantage is that a smaller implant can be used to achieve a specific size, reducing the risk of complications related to very large implants.
