Sometimes, implants alone don’t check all of your boxes. If you want volume plus softness, a hybrid breast augmentation can deliver. This technique combines fat grafting with implants to give you a naturally enhanced look.
At Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery & Aesthetics, we’re proud to offer this advanced breast procedure to women across Lone Tree, Highlands Ranch, Denver, and surrounding areas.
Our board-certified plastic surgeons, Dr. Christopher Williams and Dr. Jeremy Williams, have years of experience performing both breast implant and fat grafting procedures. They will help you get the results you’re looking for.
What Is a Hybrid Breast Augmentation?
This hybrid breast augmentation procedure combines breast implants and fat transfer to give you the best of both worlds. Implants provide you with volume and support. Then, we add layers of your own fat, usually taken from your abdomen, flanks, or thighs, to create a more natural curve.
This approach works especially well if you want to soften visible implant edges, improve upper pole fullness, or refine your cleavage without relying entirely on implant size. It’s also a great choice if you’re thin or have minimal natural breast tissue.
Who Might Be a Good Candidate?
You might be a strong candidate if:
- You want volume, but still want it to feel and look like yourself
- You’ve had previous implants and notice rippling or visible edges
- You want to correct unevenness or enhance your cleavage
- You’re planning an implant revision or replacement
- You have enough fat in areas like your midsection, hips, or thighs
- You’re healthy and at a stable weight
How the Procedure Works
Everything is done in one session at our accredited surgical center in Lone Tree. Here’s a quick look at what happens:
- We use gentle liposuction to remove fat from a donor area
- That fat is purified and prepped for transfer
- We place the breast implant
- The fat is then strategically injected around the implant to fine-tune shape, volume, and softness
Most patients go home the same day. Recovery is straightforward, with some added tenderness in both the breast and fat removal areas.
Benefits of Combining Implants With Fat Transfer
- Fuller, more natural-looking breasts
- Better blending and coverage of the implant
- Smoother cleavage and contour
- Less visible rippling, especially if you have thin skin or minimal tissue
- Bonus: improved shape in the area where fat is removed
- Works well for both primary and revision breast surgery

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, fat grafting alone can add volume, but the change is typically modest. It works best for subtle shaping or contour correction, but not dramatic increases in size.
Your body will absorb some of the transferred fat in the first few months. What stays after that is long-lasting. In many cases, the results hold up for years, especially if your weight remains stable.
Yes, and it depends on two things: how much usable fat you have and how much the breast tissue can safely hold. Injecting too much at once won’t improve your outcome, and it can actually reduce how much fat survives long-term.
Not necessarily. Usually, the fat is taken from places like the abdomen, thighs, flanks, or hips. The best donor site is one with enough fat to shape the breasts and leave you with a smoother contour elsewhere.
It’s a little more involved. You’ll be sore in two spots: your breasts and wherever the fat was removed. Most people feel ready to move around in a few days, but swelling and bruising in the donor area may take a couple of weeks to settle.
