The Lunchtime Breast Augmentation

The lunchtime boob job may sound appealing. The term “lunchtime” sends the message that breast augmentation can be completed in an hour and that it is a simple break in an otherwise normal day. In fact, the term is most associated with a procedure that has not obtained FDA approval, involving a series of injections comprised of filler substances like hyaluronic acid to temporarily build breast volume.

There is an ongoing study that is being conducted in the U.S. to identify safety and efficacy of fat grafting for the purpose of breast augmentation. This procedure involves the use of liposuction to extract fat cells, preparation of the fat cells and injection of the donor fat cells into the breasts. The procedure has been used with success in Europe for many years and is being tested in the U.S. to verify safety and efficacy. However, the extent of breast enlargement is questionable. Also, not all women have adequate fat available to provide a substantial increase in breast size.
