Both of these procedures involve fat transfer by either removing it from the breast or introducing it into the breast to help contour the breast and obtain symmetry with the opposite side.
Liposuction is when the fat is broken up with a long hollow tube called a cannula (tube), and the fat is suctioned out. This reduces contour excesses.
Lipofilling or autologous fat (auto fat). This is a two step procedure. The fat is harvested through a liposuction cannula (tube) from the abdomen or hips and once extracted is aspirated and centrifuged to remove damaged fat cells prior to injection. Once treated the fat cells are then injected with a small syringe (after the area has been numbed) into the contour defects.
