Among them, there are two main methods for this: fat grafting and the use of implants. Although fat grafting has gained attention due to the use of a person&#8217;s natural body fat and a more natural appearance, this method is not widely recommended for breast augmentation. Several reasons, including limitations in increased volume, stability of results, and possible risks, have led to breast implants being recognized as a more effective and reliable method. In this article, we will take a closer look at the reasons why fat grafting is not recommended for breast augmentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-8725a0fc2be00cb56341000836c62bcf\" style=\"background-color:#155171\"><blockquote><p> Breast prosthesis in Iran <\/p><cite>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/breast-prosthesis\/\">Breast prosthesis<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Limited_volume_of_size_increase\"><\/span>1.

This procedure not only provides predictable results but is also an ideal choice for those looking for more dramatic and lasting changes. Below, we will discuss the reasons that make breast implants a superior option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Predictable_and_Desired_Volume_Increase\"><\/span>1.

In this method, fat is extracted from other parts of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, and after preparation, is injected into the breasts. Despite its limitations, this method is a good option in some cases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Limited_and_natural_size_increase\"><\/span>1.
