Fat transfer avoids a device but offers smaller, less predictable gains. Choice depends on goals, tissue, donor fat and risk tolerance.","official_url":null,"image_url":null,"country":null,"region":null,"wikidata_id":null,"wikipedia_url":null,"verified":false,"scores":{"authority":70,"trust":0,"citation":0},"topic":{"slug":"breast-augmentation","name":"Breast Augmentation"},"url":"https://worldwiki.io/entity/breast-augmentation","facts":[{"id":45,"predicate":"options","label":"Main options","value":"Silicone or saline implants; autologous fat transfer for smaller changes","unit":null,"confidence":100,"valid_from":null,"valid_until":null,"verified_at":"2026-09-14 13:42:07","source_ids":[18]},{"id":46,"predicate":"implant_longevity","label":"Implant longevity (NHS)","value":"Implants are not lifetime devices and may need to be replaced","unit":null,"confidence":100,"valid_from":null,"valid_until":null,"verified_at":"2026-09-14 13:42:07","source_ids":[7]}],"relations":[],"questions":[{"slug":"implants-vs-fat-grafting","question":"What is the difference between breast implants and fat grafting?","intent":"comparison","language":"en","short_answer":"Implants are medical devices that give a predictable, larger increase in size but are not lifetime devices and can rupture or cause capsular contracture.
