An implant-free option
Breast implants are not for everyone. Natural breast augmentation can be performed using your own fat. Dr. Steffen is a local expert in the latest techniques for high-definition liposuction and fat transfer.
Liposuction is performed to harvest fat from less desirable locations. That fat is then processed and reinjected into the breasts to create fuller, shapelier breasts — with the welcome side effect of simultaneously shaping and smoothing the donor sites, most often the waist.
AlloClae
Dr. Steffen also uses AlloClae for natural augmentation. AlloClae is a structural adipose filler — a processed donor fat that can be injected to shape problem areas and add needed volume. With this product, women can improve the appearance of the breasts (or bottom) without the need for liposuction.
