While implants were once the only option available to enhance breast size and shape, there is a new method that becoming widely popular for its effectiveness, safety and convenience – fat transfer. This option, a viable alternative to implants, involves removing fat from one area of the body via liposuction and injecting it into the breasts. This is an ideal option for women
