What Is Dr V Hybrid Breast Augmentation?
The innovative Dr V Hybrid breast augmentation procedure combines the use of breast implants and a highly targeted fat transfer to enhance volume and achieve a beautifully natural cleavage. What sets this technique apart is its remarkable advancement in the field of breast augmentation surgery, as it optimizes the appearance of traditional augmentations by incorporating a fat transfer to the breast tissue. Notably, this treatment surpasses the satisfaction levels associated with conventional breast augmentation, as it offers extensive customization options to fulfill your unique preferences in terms of shape, upper pole fullness, and cleavage enhancement.
For patients who possess a very lean or muscular physique, as well as transgender patients, Dr. Rotsaert deems a hybrid breast augmentation necessary to ensure adequate coverage of the implants with soft tissue. Drawing from Dr. Rotsaert’s expertise, relying solely on implants for breast augmentation may yield suboptimal aesthetic outcomes for these specific patients, particularly as time progresses. Thin-skinned individuals with delicate soft tissue often struggle to conceal the outer edges of implants without the supplementary fat transfer. Rippling and the visibility or palpability of breast implants are more commonly observed in patients who are thin, heavily muscled, or transgender, often leading to dissatisfaction with the final results.

What Type of Fat Transfer Method is Used?
Puregraft is a specialised system used for fat transfer procedures, also known as autologous fat grafting or fat transplantation. It is designed to enhance the safety and efficiency of the fat transfer process by purifying the harvested fat cells before they are injected into another area of the body.
The Puregraft system involves several steps. First, fat is harvested from a donor site on the patient’s body using liposuction techniques. The harvested fat is then processed and purified using the Puregraft device. This device, which consists of a closed system with various filters and canisters, removes impurities such as blood, oil, and debris from the harvested fat.
The purified fat is separated into different layers based on its density, with the highest quality fat cells collected in a sterile container. These purified fat cells can then be reinjected into the desired area, such as the face, breasts, buttocks, or hands, to add volume and contour.
Puregraft is considered a preferred fat transfer method for several reasons:
1. Enhanced safety: The purification process removes impurities and contaminants from the harvested fat, reducing the risk of infection, inflammation, and other complications. By using a closed system, it minimizes the exposure of fat cells to the external environment, maintaining their viability.
2. Improved fat cell survival: Puregraft helps to preserve the integrity and viability of the harvested fat cells. By removing unwanted substances, the purified fat has a higher concentration of healthy fat cells, increasing the chances of long-term survival and successful integration into the recipient area.
3. Consistent quality: Puregraft provides a standardised and reproducible method for fat purification. It allows for precise filtration and separation of the fat, resulting in a consistent quality of fat cells for transplantation. This can lead to more predictable outcomes and better patient satisfaction.
4. Reduced downtime: The purified fat from Puregraft is cleaner and less likely to cause complications such as infection or inflammation. This can lead to faster recovery times and reduced downtime for patients compared to traditional fat transfer methods.
What Kind of Anaesthesia is Used?
Hybrid breast augmentation is typically performed under general anaesthesia to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the procedure.
How Long Does Dr V Hybrid Breast Augmentation Takes?
The duration of hybrid breast augmentation can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the procedure and the amount of fat transfer involved. On average, the surgery itself typically takes around two to three hours. Dr. Rotsaert will provide you with a more accurate estimate during your consultation, tailored to your unique needs.
