Commonly performed for cosmetic reasons, fat grafting is another powerful and natural method of breast reconstruction. During fat grafting, liposuction is performed to harvest fat from one area of the body. The fat is then prepared and carefully injected into the breast.

However, fat grafting alone can correct deformities resulting from lumpectomy and radiation.
