Breast augmentation with fat transfer · Garden City / Boise

Your volume back — without an implant.

Natural Feel. Natural Look.

At Idaho Regenerative Medicine, Dr. Sara Jo Walton offers natural breast augmentation in Boise and Garden City with your own fat — breast fat grafting instead of implants. PRP is placed into each breast with the graft to support cell viability. Still your fat. Still no implant. After pregnancy, aging, or weight loss — including fat transfer after Ozempic or another GLP-1 — many women want softness back in the upper pole, not a different body. Fat taken from the abdomen, flanks, arms, back, or inner or outer thighs can contour those areas at the same time.

Who this is for

You might recognize yourself here.

If the bra changed and you did not — you are in the right place.

Volume after life changed

Pregnancy, nursing, aging, or weight loss — including after GLP-1 medications — can leave the breasts looking deflated, especially in the upper pole. You want the version of you that used to fill a dress. Not a different silhouette.

Your own tissue. Not an implant.

Natural look. Natural feel. Nothing manufactured left in the breast. For people who never wanted implants, and for people who had them and are done.

Contour and breast volume together

Abdomen, flanks, arms, back, and inner or outer thighs can look more refined while the breasts gain living volume. Two-for-one when you have extra to spare.

Done with implants

Fat transfer is not implant removal. After implants are out, your own fat can restore softness so you are not left empty.

Fit

Who should wait.

Weight still moving

After a GLP-1 or a large weight change, wait until the scale has settled. Living fat follows your weight.

Nicotine

Nicotine works against the graft. We will be direct about that at the consult.

Not enough fat to spare

If there is not enough donor fat, we plan a smaller change or we say this is not the right procedure.

A lift or a three-cup jump

We do not lift the breast. We fill it. One session is not an A-to-D.

Your path to breast augmentation

A conversation first. A breast plan when you are ready.

01

Complimentary Get to Know You Consult

See if this is the right procedure for you. You leave with a planning range for breast fat transfer — not an individualized price. We have not examined your donor fat or the breast. This visit is fit.

02

The planning visit

This starts with a visit — a New Patient Visit if you are new here, or a follow-up if you already receive care. We assess the breast and the adipose, image the fat, take pre-procedure photos, and map where we fill. Then you leave with a plan and an individualized price estimate. That visit fee is applied to the procedure if you move forward.

03

Procedure day

Typically 3 or more hours, depending on harvest sites and volume transferred. You stay awake. Fat is harvested, prepared, and grafted. Platelet-rich plasma and platelet-pure plasma are placed into each breast with the fat. Home the same day with garments and written aftercare.

04

What is included after

Early follow-up, later visit at about six months, and a way to reach the clinic if something does not feel right. A second session is planned after settling if you want more cup volume.

What to expect

Your breasts, procedure day through six months.

During

Harvest and the breast

You stay awake. Typically 3 or more hours, depending on harvest sites and volume transferred. Fat is harvested from the abdomen, flanks, arms, back, or inner or outer thighs — wherever you have extra — prepared in a closed Cellmyx system, and placed where that breast needs it. Platelet-rich plasma and platelet-pure plasma go into each breast with the fat. Research on this platform reports about 90% cell viability. How much volume you keep is judged after settling — not at week one.

PRP and plasma with the graft. Every breast fat-transfer session includes platelet-rich plasma and platelet-pure plasma into each breast. Extra stem-cell processing beyond that, if it fits your case, is decided at the planning visit.

Home

Going home

Someone drives you. A supportive garment and written aftercare leave with you. Sleep on your back so nothing presses on the breast. Harvest sites feel bruised; that is expected. You can reach the clinic if something does not feel right.

After

Protect the breast graft

Compression belongs on the harvest site. Pressure does not belong on the breast — no sleeping on your stomach, no underwire, no tight sports bra that flattens the upper pole until we clear it. Walking is usually fine. Impact and heavy lifting wait.

Settling

Week one is not your cup size

Swelling makes the breasts look bigger at first. Fluid leaves. Living fat remains. The breasts you live in show after settling — about six months. That is when we talk about a second session if you want more.

The first months

What the calendar looks like.

The first days

Someone drives you home. Sleep on your back. Compression on the harvest site, not smashed onto the breast. Walking is usually fine.

Desk work and garments

Many people return to desk work within a few days if they can protect the breast. Soft support only. No underwire until we clear it.

Lifting and exercise

Impact and heavy lifting wait. We will tell you when the graft can take more. Do not guess from a forum timeline.

Six months

Week one is swelling. The breasts you live in show after settling. That is when a second session is planned if you want more volume.

Questions

What people ask before breast fat transfer.

Is PRP included?

Yes. PRP is placed into each breast with the fat graft to support viability. That is part of the procedure.

Can you add stem cells beyond PRP?

Sometimes. That is decided at the New Patient Visit — or a follow-up visit if you are already a patient — not from a photo, and not assumed.

How much does breast fat transfer cost?

The complimentary consult includes a planning range. An individualized price is built at the New Patient Visit — or at a follow-up visit if you are already a patient. That visit fee is applied to the procedure if you move forward.

Will fat transfer lift my breasts?

We do not lift the breast. We fill it.

Are you awake?

Yes. This is done awake at Idaho Regenerative Medicine.
