What is Hybrid Breast Augmentation?
Hybrid breast augmentation, also known as composite breast augmentation, is a surgical procedure that uses both breast implants and fat transfer to enhance the breasts.
The procedure combines the volume and shape provided by breast implants with the natural feel of your own fat cells, harvested from areas with excess fat, such as the abdomen or thighs. The transferred fat is injected into specific areas around the breast implant to create a smooth, natural-looking contour.
Hybrid breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that uses both breast implants and fat transfer to enhance the breasts.
Why Have a Hybrid Breast Augmentation?
Hybrid breast augmentation surgery is ideal for those seeking the benefits of both traditional breast implants and fat grafting. This procedure offers:
- Natural feel and appearance: By combining implants with fat transfer, the results are fuller yet more natural.
- Customisable shape: Fat cells can be strategically placed to achieve your desired shape.
- Enhanced cleavage and upper pole fullness: The procedure allows for more targeted enhancements.
- Reduced rippling and visibility of implants: The fat transfer helps mask the edges of breast implants, especially in patients with thin breast tissue.
What are the Benefits of Hybrid Breast Augmentation?
The benefits of hybrid breast augmentation include:
- Dual enhancement: Combines the size increase from implants with the natural contouring from fat transfer.
- Improved symmetry: Allows for precise adjustments to ensure both breasts are symmetrical.
- Minimal scarring: The fat grafting process requires only small incisions, leading to minimal scarring.
- Long-lasting results: The combination of breast implants and fat transfer ensures durable and aesthetically pleasing outcomes.

Am I a Good Candidate for Hybrid Breast Augmentation?
You may be a good candidate for hybrid breast augmentation if:
- You desire a more natural look and feel than what traditional breast implants alone offer.
- You have sufficient fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks to be used for fat transfer.
- You are in good health and have realistic expectations about the results.
- You seek to correct asymmetry or achieve a specific breast shape that implants alone cannot provide.
What is the Process for Having Hybrid Breast Augmentation?
Consultation & Pre-Surgery
- Initial consultation: Discuss your goals and expectations with our specialist at Breast & Body Clinic.
- Custom plan: A tailored plan is created to determine the ideal combination of implant size and fat grafting.
- Pre-surgery instructions: Follow guidelines for diet, medication, and preparation for surgery day.
The Procedure
- Anaesthesia: The procedure begins with administering anaesthesia for your comfort.
- Fat harvesting: Excess fat is removed from donor areas via liposuction.
- Implant placement: Breast implants are placed through a small incision, usually in the breast crease.
- Fat transfer: The harvested fat is purified and strategically injected around the implants to refine the shape and contour.
Recovery & After-Care
- Post-surgery care: Follow post-operative instructions, including wearing a supportive bra and avoiding strenuous activity.
- Healing time: Most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks, with full results visible after a few months.
- Follow-up visits: Attend scheduled follow-ups to monitor progress and ensure optimal healing.
Are there Risks or Complications with Hybrid Breast Augmentation?
As with any surgical procedure, hybrid breast augmentation carries some risks, including:
- Infection: Although rare, infection is a potential risk with any surgery.
- Fat reabsorption: Some transferred fat may be reabsorbed by the body, requiring touch-ups.
- Implant-related issues: These may include capsular contracture or implant rupture.
- Asymmetry: Though the procedure aims to enhance symmetry, minor differences may occur.
Our experienced surgeons at Breast & Body Clinic take every precaution to minimise these risks and ensure a safe and successful outcome.
The process involves consultation & pre-surgery, the procedure along with recovery & after-care.
How Much Does Hybrid Breast Augmentation Cost?
The cost of hybrid breast augmentation varies depending on individual needs and goals. Factors influencing the price include:
- Type and size of implants chosen.
- Amount of fat to be harvested and transferred.
- Complexity of the procedure.

WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY
FAQs
How long does a hybrid breast augmentation procedure take?
The hybrid breast augmentation procedure typically takes about 3 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity of the surgery and the amount of fat being transferred. This duration includes both the placement of breast implants and the breast fat transfer process. The procedure involves harvesting fat from areas with excess deposits, which is then combined with the implants to create a natural look. The time may vary based on individual factors, such as the amount of natural breast tissue and the specific goals of the breast enhancement.
How soon will I see the results of my hybrid breast augmentation?
You will notice an immediate change in breast size and shape after the hybrid breast augmentation procedure, but the final results will gradually become more apparent over a few months. As the swelling from the surgery subsides and the transferred fat cells integrate with your natural breast tissue, the breasts will settle into their new form. The healing process can vary for each patient, but it generally takes a few months for the full results to be visible. The combination of breast implants and fat transfer provides a fuller yet natural-looking enhancement.
Will the fat transferred to my breasts during the hybrid breast augmentation stay permanently?
Yes, the fat transferred during the hybrid breast augmentation is designed to remain permanently, although it’s normal for some of the fat to be reabsorbed by the body during the healing process. The majority of the fat cells that successfully integrate with your natural breast tissue will stay in place, contributing to a long-lasting enhancement. The procedure involves a careful technique of combining fat transfer with breast implants to ensure the best possible results.
Can I choose the size of the implants used in the hybrid breast augmentation?
Absolutely, you can choose the size of the implants during your consultation for the hybrid breast augmentation procedure. Our surgeon will work with you to determine the ideal size and shape based on your aesthetic goals and body type. The procedure involves not only selecting the appropriate implants but also combining fat transfer to fine-tune the final look. The combined breast implants and fat grafting create a customised breast enhancement that aligns with your desired outcome.
What is the recovery time after a hybrid breast augmentation?
The recovery time after a hybrid breast augmentation generally allows most patients to return to light activities within a week. However, full recovery can take several weeks as your body adjusts to the combined effects of the breast implants and fat transfer. It’s essential to follow the surgeon’s post-operative care instructions closely, as the healing process involves not just the recovery from the surgical procedure but also the stabilisation of the transferred fat within the natural breast tissue. Proper care during recovery ensures the best possible outcome for your breast enhancement.
