Fat grafting uses the patient's own fat, avoids a device and can improve the donor area, but gives a smaller, less predictable gain and may need repeat sessions. The choice depends on desired size, available fat and risk preferences.","detailed_answer":null,"format":"paragraph","confidence":85,"verified_at":"2026-09-14 13:42:07","updated_at":"2026-09-14 22:42:08"},"sources":[{"id":7,"title":"Breast enlargement (implants)","url":"https://www.nhs.uk/tests-and-treatments/cosmetic-procedures/cosmetic-surgery/breast-enlargement/","publisher":"NHS (UK National Health Service)","type":"government","accessed_at":"2026-09-14 13:42:07"},{"id":16,"title":"Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation","url":"https://www.plasticsurgery.org/cosmetic-procedures/fat-transfer-breast-augmentation","publisher":"American Society of Plastic Surgeons","type":"organization","accessed_at":"2026-09-14 13:42:07"}],"published_at":"2026-09-14 13:42:07"}
