Fat Transfer Breasts: The Regenerative Revolution

The regenerative revolution is here—and it’s changing how we think about breast enhancement.

Fat transfer to the breast has always been intriguing because it uses your own tissue to enhance shape, softness, and contour in the most natural way possible. But with advances in technology and technique, the results have improved dramatically.

With advanced processing systems like Viality, we’re seeing reported fat survival rates approaching 90%, which has been a game changer for fat transfer procedures. When you combine that with breast preservation concepts, we can utilize the natural space under the gland to create a soft, natural enhancement while also correcting some of the contour irregularities that previously limited breast fat transfer.

This evolution has really improved both the acceptance and reliability of fat transfer to the breast.

And we’re just getting started.

The addition of regenerative technologies and products like Alloclae continues to expand what’s possible, pushing breast enhancement toward a future where injectable breast augmentation is becoming a reality.

Patients today are looking for natural results, regeneration, and vitality—and fat transfer is becoming one of the most powerful ways to achieve that.

What can be done about rippling after breast augmentation?

It is one of the most common concerns we hear from patients, and the good news is that there are highly effective solutions. In this breast implant exchange, Dr. Franco addressed visible rippling in one of his patients by switching to sixth generation Motiva implants, known for their advanced feel and reduced rippling profile, combined with a specialized internal bra technique.

What makes this case unique is the parachute technique used during the internal bra placement. Rather than the standard approach, the absorbable mesh was strategically positioned superiorly and medially, directly targeting the areas where rippling was most visible. This thickens the capsule in precisely the right places, working in tandem with the Motiva implant to create a smoother, more natural result.

The combination of next-generation implant technology and a tailored surgical approach is what sets outcomes like this apart. If rippling has been a concern after a previous augmentation, a breast implant exchange may be the solution worth exploring.

✨ Wellness Q&A Series | Episode 10 ✨

What is Ozempic body or Ozempic butt?

Nurse Sarah and Nurse Jenna are answering one of the most common questions we get. You’ve probably heard these terms floating around in the media, and they can sound a little scary. Here’s what it actually means.

🌟 Ozempic body or Ozempic butt is a slang term used to describe the sagging or loss of skin support that can happen as you lose weight. Your clothes are fitting better, you’re feeling more confident, you’ve maybe even dropped a size or two, but you’re noticing things aren’t sitting quite where they used to.

🍑 The most common areas we see it? The abdomen, the arms, the knees (Nurse Sarah knows this one firsthand from her own knee journey), and of course, the b***y. We all wish we could choose where we lose the fat, but unfortunately the butt tends to lose volume and sag along the way.

The good news is there are options, both to prevent it and to treat it. Stay tuned for what’s coming next.

Honored to be featured by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) discussing the evolving role of GLP-1 medications and regenerative medicine in aesthetics and wellness 💊🧬

As medications like GLP-1s continue to reshape weight management, we’re also seeing rapid innovation in what’s coming next—including oral GLP-1 medications, emerging treatments like retatrutide (the “triple G”), and increased interest in peptides and regenerative therapies.

Dr. Franco often says that this is the year of regenerative medicine—and we’re witnessing a major shift toward wellness in aesthetic medicine.

Instead of focusing only on procedures, the future of plastic surgery and aesthetics is about:

• Metabolic health
• Longevity and wellness
• Regenerative treatments
• Natural, sustainable results

Excited to be part of this important conversation about where aesthetic medicine, weight loss science, and regenerative therapies are headed.

Why Everyone’s Talking About the Deep Plane Facelift

Not all facelifts are created equal… and the reason the Deep Plane Facelift has become such a hot topic comes down to one thing: anatomy.

Your face isn’t just skin. It’s built in layers.

• Skin – what you see on the surface
• Fat pads – what gives the face youthful volume
• SMAS – the structural layer that supports the face
• Ligaments & deeper structures – what hold everything in position

As we age, those deeper structures start to descend and shift downward.

Older facelift techniques mostly pulled the skin tighter… which can work short-term, but it doesn’t truly reset the face.

The Deep Plane Facelift works differently.

Instead of just tightening the skin, we carefully release and mobilize the SMAS layer and the deeper fat pads, allowing the entire face and neck to move as a unit.

Then those structures are lifted, repositioned, and secured back into a youthful anatomical position before the skin is gently redraped.

The result?

✨ More natural movement
✨ Better contour through the jawline and neck
✨ Restoration of youthful structure
✨ Results that look refreshed—not pulled

It’s not about stretching the face…
It’s about resetting the foundation.

Understanding the anatomy is what makes all the difference.

This transformation was performed by Dr. Johnny Franco at Austin Plastic Surgeon.

Because remember…
Confidence is the best contour.

Sharing technique innovation on an international stage 🌎

Dr. Weinfeld will be speaking at the Mexican Society of Plastic Surgeons meeting on four topics in advanced aesthetic surgery. His first lecture focuses on:

Suspension suture location and sequence for enhanced facial shape in the deep plane facelift.

Why does this matter?

Because the deep plane facelift isn’t just about releasing ligaments — it’s about how those tissues are re-suspended.

A true deep plane facelift releases key retaining ligaments and repositions the SMAS and deeper facial structures as a composite unit. But the final result, the contour, jawline definition, midface fullness, and neck transition, depends heavily on:

✔️ Where suspension sutures are placed
✔️ The vector of elevation
✔️ The sequence in which those sutures are secured
✔️ How facial shape is intentionally designed, not just tightened

Small technical refinements can create major improvements in contour and longevity — without over-tightening.

Is ultrasound-guided BBL really necessary, or just an extra step?

Dr. Arredondo breaks it down. BBL is one of the most talked-about procedures online, and for good reason. When performed correctly, it’s incredibly safe. When it’s not, the risks are real. That’s exactly why ultrasound guidance isn’t optional in this practice.

Using real-time imaging, Dr. Arredondo can visualize the distinct tissue layers during fat transfer, placing it precisely in the deeper fat layer, above the muscle, and well outside the danger zone. The result? Natural projection, no overfilling, none of that diaper butt look, and most importantly, a procedure you can feel confident about.

The technique matters. The training matters. And knowing what your surgeon’s approach looks like before you commit? That matters too.

If you’re considering a BBL, start with research, ask the right questions, and book a consultation at Austin Plastic Surgeon to learn more.

Personalized Preservation: Natural by Design

One of the biggest questions I hear all the time is this 👇

“Can an implant placed above the muscle actually look natural?”

Short answer… Absolutely.

The truth is, a natural-looking breast enhancement isn’t just about where the implant goes — it’s about the entire strategy.

With personalized preservation, the goal is simple:
✨ Protect the natural anatomy
✨ Enhance what’s already beautiful
✨ Customize the result to the patient

That means preserving key structures like the natural ligaments and breast architecture so the implant works with your body, not against it.

But natural results come from more than just technique. It’s also about:

• Choosing the right implant size
• Selecting the best shape and profile
• Understanding your existing breast tissue
• Working with your skin and natural anatomy
• And most importantly… your aesthetic goals

Every patient is different.

That’s why personalized preservation breast enhancement allows us to tailor the procedure so the results can range from subtle and sculpted to full and glamorous — while still keeping that soft, natural look and movement.

Modern techniques and next-generation implants have completely changed what’s possible.

The goal isn’t to create a different body.
It’s to enhance the one you already have.

Super excited to share this transformation with you.

What does preservation breast augmentation actually look like from start to finish? Dr. Reis is walking us through the full process, and the results speak for themselves. This technique is designed for patients looking for more fullness, projection, and volume while keeping everything that makes long-term results look natural.

The key to Preservé is exactly what the name suggests. By protecting the retaining ligaments of the breast rather than cutting through them, the implant is placed using a small balloon technique that allows for custom cleavage, beautiful upper pole fullness, and results that are built to last. That tiny incision you see at the end? About 2cm. The work happening underneath is doing all the heavy lifting.

Fresh out of surgery, she already has incredible lateral contour, natural cleavage, and that soft, proportional look that defines a great augmentation. As those preserved ligaments settle and soften over time, results only continue to improve. Book a consultation with Austin Plastic Surgeon to find out if Preservé is right for you.

What is the “Russian model effect”? ✨

When this patient’s husband said, “You made my wife look like a Russian model,” he was describing that lifted, sculpted, elegant facial shape that still looks completely natural.

In this transformation, Dr. Weinfeld achieved that result with a comprehensive surgical plan centered around a deep plane face and neck lift and strategically combined procedures for maximum impact and harmony.

Here’s what was performed:

✔️ Deep plane face & neck lift – Releases and repositions the deeper facial structures (not just the skin) to restore youthful contour, jawline definition, and neck tightness without a pulled look.

✔️ Quad blepharoplasty – Upper and lower eyelid surgery to refresh tired or heavy eyes.

✔️ Endoscopic brow lift – Often referred to as an “upper face lift”, elevates and repositions the brow with minimal visible scarring for a natural, open appearance.

✔️ Lip lift – Shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip for a more youthful, defined smile.

✔️ Strategic fat grafting – Restores volume in key areas to prevent a hollowed or over-tightened look.

Why combine procedures?

A deep plane face and neck lift improves the lower face and neck, but aging affects the entire face. Addressing the brows, eyelids, lips, and volume at the same time creates balanced, cohesive results.

This is how we achieve shape change, refined contours, and that elevated “model” aesthetic while still preserving natural facial identity.

Education matters. Surgical planning matters. Harmony matters.
