Fat Grafting vs. Breast Implants for Breast Augmentation –
For fifty years breast augmentation surgery has been performed in the United States using breast implants. And as breast implant technology and surgical techniques have improved over 5 decades, women with breast implants now universally report a satisfaction rate of 98 to 99%!
However, in addition to traditional breast augmentation, recent developments in fat grafting technology have presented another option for breast augmentation. During fat grafting, a surgeon uses your own body fat to increase your bust size.
So when it comes to breast augmentation, what is better: fat grafting or breast implants?
In this article Detroit area board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali explains the differences between fat grafting and breast implants – and the pros and cons of both techniques.
The Pros & Cons of Fat Grafting for Breast Augmentation
Fat grafting uses your own body’s fat to enlarge the breast. Since it is your body’s own tissue, there’s no risk for allergic reactions – and your breasts will look and feel 100% natural.
Additionally, there are virtually no scars associated with fat injections. Nor is there a risk of rippling. And, since fat is used rather than an implant, there is no possibility of a rupture.
However, with fat grafting there is risks of developing calcification in the breasts. Some doctors are concerned that these deposits can interfere with breast cancer screenings. There is also a risk of lumps and nodules in the breasts – and indents or divots at the location where the fat was harvested.
Generally, the cost of fat grafting is also more than that of breast implants, making grafting cost prohibitive for some patients.
However the BIGGEST DIFFERENCE for most breast augmentation patients is in the SIZE that is achievable. Fat grafting cannot accomplish the same large increase in size as breast implants. Women who are seeking a large change in breast or cup size often are not able to achieve their desired results with fat grafting.
The Pros & Cons of Implants for Breast Augmentation
The biggest advantage to breast implants is that they produce a large and very reliable, predictable and consistent change in breast size. In other words, you select the implant size and shape that you want – and that is exactly what you get.
And because today’s generation of silicone implants are more natural-feeling than ever, there is virtually no difference in how they feel from natural breast tissue or grafted fat.
Also, breast implants do not require additional surgery on other parts of the body – which fat grafting requires in order to “harvest” the fat. Further, in the event a women changes her mind about breast size, implants can be removed – whereas fat becomes permanent once it is injected.
And, as an additionally important factor for many women, the cost of breast augmentation with implants is much less than that of fat grafting.
There are some cons of breast augmentation using implants. Primarily, implants carry a small risk of rupture. And breast implants do not “last forever” which means they may need to be changed at some time over the course of the patient’s lifespan.
Breast implants also have a small risk of developing “capsular contracture” – which is scar tissue forming around the implant. Studies differ on the percentage of women experiencing this complication, but a 2017 study of 496 breast implant patients in the Journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons found that only 1.3% of the women experienced this.
Finally, breast implants do require incisions, which means that scars for placement are more visible than when compared to fat injections. And although silicone is thought to be extremely safe, obviously nothing is as safe as using your own body fat.
Fat Grafting vs. Breast Implants: The Bottom Line
While fat grafting may be more natural, it simply cannot achieve the larger size and full, perfect shape of breast implants. As a result, the vast majority of patients with whom Dr. Ali consults opt for breast implants.
If you are going to undergo the time and expense of breast augmentation surgery, you want to get the “perfect breasts” you desire – and in most cases only implants can achieve these results.

Why Today’s Breast Augmentation Surgery is Better
/in Breast Augmentation, Breast Enlargement, Breast Implant /by adminWhy Today’s Breast Augmentation Surgery is Better –
It has been more than fifty years since the first breast augmentation surgery was performed, using silicone implants. Today, breast augmentation surgery is the number one most popular cosmetic surgery in the United States – with 300,000 breast augmentations performed in 2017 alone. This represents a 3% increase over 2016.
One of the reasons breast implant surgery continues to grow in popularity is the improvements made in both the implant materials and the surgical procedures over the last several years.
In this article we share 3 reasons why today’s breast augmentation surgery is better, making it easier than ever before to get the breasts you have always wanted.
While there are lots of different factors that go into getting the beautiful results you want, these three benefits of modern breast augmentation surgery make it
New Breast Augmentation Materials are More Natural
Substantial improvements have been made recently in breast implant technologies – making them both more natural and more durable than ever before.
In 2017, silicone breast implants were used in 87% of all breast augmentation surgeries. While saline implants accounted for 13% of all breast augmentations
The new generation of so-called “gummy bear” breast implants are shaped like a teardrop. The sloped shape – with more fullness at the bottom – is virtually indistinguishable from the contours of a natural breasts.
Made from High-strength cohesive (HSC) silicone gel, these newer implants remain soft and natural-feeling to the touch – just like real breasts.
They even “squish” when pressed against another person – when hugging or being intimate rather than feeling hard like previous breast implants.
New Breast Implant Materials are Sturdier & More Stable
High-strength cohesive (HSC) silicone gel is also breakthrough technology in breast implants because it is the strongest type of silicone on the market. This means that the breast implants far sturdier than they were before, and less prone to breakage or leakage.
When earlier versions of silicone breast implants were damaged the clear gel inside would slowly create leak into the body. Newer silicone implants holds their shape and do not leak if ruptured.
New Breast Augmentation Surgical Techniques are Better
Breast surgeons now have a much better and more advanced understanding of how to minimize complications from breast augmentation surgery.
With new advances in surgical techniques there is lower risk of infection, capsule contracture, rippling and other complications.
For example, the Keller funnel now allows the surgeon to “fold and slip” the silicone implant into place (kind of like a pastry bag) through a smaller incision. Not only does this procedure minimize scarring, but it also reduces the risk of infection.

Is Breast Augmentation Surgery Worth It?
/in Breast Augmentation /by adminIs Breast Augmentation Surgery Worth It?
Breast augmentation continues to be one of the most common and most popular surgical procedures performed by plastic surgeons. However, if you are considering breast augmentation yourself, you may be wondering if other women who have had the procedure are satisfied and happy that they underwent breast implant surgery.
The good news is that the vast majority of women who have breat implants LOVE their tresults and say they are happy they chose to have the surgery. But don’t just take our word for it! In this article we share 4 separate studies with you that examine women’s breast augmentation satisfaction.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Breast Augmentation Review – 2013
A study published in the May 2013 issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery shows that satisfaction rates for breast augmentation are incredibly high. More than 91% of the 225 patients interviewed said the procedure met or exceeded their expectations, and 98.7% indicated they would do it again. Additionally, 91.1% of those surveyed reported increased self-esteem, and 64.3% reported improved quality of life.
Journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons Breast Augmentation Review – 2017
In 2017 a study was undertaken of 494 breast augmentation patients, published in the International Open Access Journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons on the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health Website.
The results of that study showed very low rates of complications and very high scores for patient satisfaction. The results are as follows:
Real Self Breast Augmentation Review – 2018

How Much Does Breast Augmentation Cost? (Part 1)
/in Breast Augmentation /by adminHow Much Does Breast Augmentation Cost? (Part 1)
Asking how much breast augmentation costs is kind of like asking how much it costs to go out to dinner. The quality of the ingredients and the skill and training of the chef will affect how much you pay for your meal.
Similarly, different types of implants and different levels of breast surgeon experience will affect the total cost of having breast implant surgery.
And while you may be happy to grab McDonald’s for dinner to save a few bucks, breast implants are not something on which you want to cut corners.
The better the quality of the implants and the surgeon, the better your breasts will look, the longer they will last. And a better surgeon also means a lower risk of complications such as infection, pain and scarring.
In this two part article we look at the factors that affect breast implant prices.
Breast Augmentation Materials: Comparing Apples to Oranges
To begin with breast implants can be filled with either saline or silicone. Saline implants are typically one to two thousand dollars cheaper than silicone breast implants.
However, saline implants are generally less popular than silicone implants because they typically do not feel as “natural”.
In the United States the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved five silicone gel-filled breast implants. These also have different “features” that may affect price.

Breast Augmentation Surgeons: Rembrandts vs. Bad Artists
A diner cooked by Emeril or Wolfgang Puck is going to cost more than a meal made by a line cook at a diner – but there is a huge difference in quality.
A more experienced and qualified plastic surgeon is going to be bit more expensive than someone without extensive credentials – but the small added cost is more than worth it to achieve beautiful results without any complications.
Selecting a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon like Dr. Ali who performs hundreds of breast augmentations each year ensures you will have beautiful breasts for years to come. Going to an unskilled surgeon, or someone who isn’t board certified, can result in “plastic surgery disasters” such as lumpy, irregular breasts, infections, external and internal scarring
Total Cost of Breast Implants
At AMAE Plastic Surgery, our prices for saline breast implants begin as low as $5000 complete (including implants, surgeon’s fee, anesthesia and surgical facility). Prices can then go from $5000 to $10,000 depending on the type of implant chosen, as well as the type of surgery, type of incision, placement of the implants (above or below muscle.)
However, only during a consultation with a qualified board certified breast augmentation surgeon will you be able to figure out which type of implant and augmentation procedure is best for you specifically, and how much it will cost.
Dr. Ali offers a no-pressure, no-obligation consultation and examination to help you determine which breast augmentation is right for you, as well as a sense of the financial investment you need to make.
Our office staff can then help you budget, offer financing options if needed and – in cases of medical need – submit claims for your breast augmentation to your insurer.

But I Thought Breast Augmentation was Cheaper!
You may have seen figures floating around on the Internet that say things like: “The average cost of breast augmentation surgery is $3,718, according to 2017 statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.”
This is a very misleading figure, because this low figures does not include anesthesia, use of the operating room, and other necessary expenses. Since you obviously cannot undergo a breast implant procedure without anesthesia or an operating room – the figures you see on the internet are not the total cost.
Also, where you live affects the “cost of living” – including the cost of breast augmentation surgery. Just like houses, breast implants are more expensive in Malibu, California than they are in Mobile, Alabama. So when you see “national averages” they include both the high and low end of the spectrum.
Michigan is right about “in the middle” of the national cost scale for breast augmentation – while still offering the same celebrity-quality surgical procedures as those found in Hollywood & Beverly Hills.
Will Insurance Cover My Breast Augmentation Surgery?
In cases of “medical necessity” insurance generally will cover breast augmentation surgery. And breast reconstruction procedures after a mastectomy or lumpectomy must be covered by your health insurance plan – according to The Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998.
However, when surgery is purely an elective cosmetic procedure, health insurance typically does not cover the cost of the surgery.

Is Financing Available for Breast Augmentation Surgery?
Yes! A variety of financing options are available for those situations where insurance does not cover breast augmentation.
We work with four major medical financing companies to help you afford your breast augmentation surgery.

Treatment Options for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence
/in Bladder Leakage, Vaginal Tightening /by adminTreatment Options for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence
Bladder leakage, or urinary incontinence, affects both women and men of all ages – although it becomes more common as we get older. The good news is that there are several treatments that can minimize or eliminate bladder leaks. However, with so many treatments available, how do you know which is right for you?
Oakland County plastic surgeon Dr. Ali has helped hundreds of women in Birmingham, West Bloomfield, Troy, MI and across Southeastern Michigan elliminate bladder leaks with just one treatment, with non-surgical Geneveve radiofrequency.
In this article we discuss the many bladder leak and incontinence treatments on the market – so you can compare “apples to apples” – and see why are patients prefer Geneveve treatments.
What Causes Bladder Leaks?
Before determining the best treatment for your bladder leakage, it is important to identify which of the two primary types of urinary incontinence you have.
Stress incontinence
If coughing, sneezing, laughing, jumping or lifting heavy objects causes your leaks, you likely have stress incontinence. Stress incontinence eaks result when pressure inside your abdomen causes urine to leak through the ring of muscle in your bladder. Childbirth and normal aging are among the causes of this very common condition.
Urge incontinence
If your bladder suddenly empties without warning (even when not laughing, coughing or exerting) or you feel like you need to urinate frequently you may have urge incontinence – also called “overactive bladder.” Urge incontinence occurs when your brain, spinal cord, nerves and bladder don’t work together properly to hold and release urine at the right time.
Diseases that affect the nervous system (eg multiple sclerosis or stroke), can cause urge incontinence. But in many cases, doctors don’t can’t identify the cause of an overactive bladder.
Treatments for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence
(1.) Kegel Exercises for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence
Kegel exercises (tighten the muscles in your pelvis) can help you become more leak-proof.
Pros:
Cons:
(2.) Medication for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence
Certain medications that can help your bladder hold more, reduce urgency and improve your ability to empty your bladder.
Pros:
Cons:
(3.) Topical Estrogen Therapy for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence
After menopause, a woman’s body produces less estrogen, which can contribute to deterioration of the supportive tissues around the bladder and urethra. Applying topical estrogen in the form of a vaginal cream may help rejuvenate deteriorating tissues in the vagina and urinary tract and relieve some incontinence symptoms.
Pros:
Cons:
(4.) Surgery for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence
Surgical solutions for incontinence include inserting a strip of mesh to press against your urethra and prevent leaks. As with any surgery, there is the risk associated with the anesthetic as well as the risk of of infection.
Cons:
(5.) Vaginal Rejuvenation for Bladder Leaks & Incontinence
“Geneveve” is a new state-of-the-art non-surgical procedure that applies heat to targeted areas of the vagina using radiofrequency, to stimulate the body’s own collagen production. This naturally strengthens and thickens the muscles and tissue surrounding the bladder and in the walls of the vagina – and embarrassing bladder leakage decreases.

Vaginal Rejuvenation: Is Your Vagina Healthy?
/in Vaginal Tightening /by adminIs Your Vagina Healthy?
If your teeth hurt or you have a cavity you’re quick to schedule a dentist’s appointment – and you feel no shame in mentioning your toothache to friends. And if you can’t see as well now that you’re getting a little older, it’s off to the ophthalmologist.
However, when it comes to problems “down there” the vast majority of women are still uncomfortable discussing their vaginal issues, or seeking out medical treatments that can improve the situation.
But maintaining vaginal health is an important part of living life to the fullest, and should be addressed just like any other aspect of maintaining good health.
Vaginal Rejuvenation Restores Vaginal Health
Ensuring vaginal health not only assures a better sex life for you (and your partner) but also helps prevent chronic and embarrassing issues like bladder leaks, and vaginal dryness and itching.
The vast majority of the women who come to our Medical Spa for cosmetic procedures are looking for help dealing with wrinkles, aging skin, sagging breasts, or unwanted fat. But while these patients know that we can rejuvenate their skin, body and breasts, very few realize that we can also rejuvenate their vaginas!
In fact, we offer amazing new nonsurgical ways to truly help women tighten and refresh their vaginal tissue – improving their sexual intimacy and quality of life.
Just like skin, vaginal tissue relies on collagen for its strength, tightness, elasticity and support. And, just like skin, the normal aging process, gravity and physical stresses over the years can cause the vagina to become stretched and weakened. The result is a vaginal looseness called laxity.
And, just like a wrinkle here or there, vaginal laxity is nothing to be embarrassed about, as it happens to almost 50% of women! This means that millions of women suffer with vaginal laxity – with doctors reporting that vaginal laxity is the number one physical change occurring after a vaginal delivery.
With so many women suffering from this, it is a shame that so few people are willing to have an open conversation about it.
The Geneveve treatment was specifically designed to help the millions of women who silently accept vaginal laxity and the associated conditions like bladder leaks, without seeking help.
With a single, comfortable, non-surgical 30 minute treatment Geneveve works on a cellular level to rebuild and restore collagen within the vaginal tissue.

Vaginal Rejuvenation Facts & Figures
/in Vaginal Tightening /by adminVaginal Rejuvenation Statistics
Vaginal rejuvenation is one of the hottest new cosmetic trends in 2018, according to RealSelf, the most prominent website that ranks cosmetic procedures based on consumer opinions.
Interest in the vaginal rejuvenation category on Real Self increased by 17 percent from 2016 to 2017. In fact, in the past year vaginal tightening actually beat out fat reduction, as the most researched and most desirable cosmetic procedure on Real Self!
Social Media Spreads the Word About Vaginal Rejuvenation
Much of this interest is believed to stem from celebrities and “influencers” spreading the word on television and social media about how vaginal rejuvenation treatments have improved their lives. Khloe Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Jada Pinkett Smith and many other high profile figures have all become outspoken fans of radiofrequency (“laser”) vaginal tightening.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons 2016 report included data on vaginal rejuvenation for the first time. That report showed a 39% increase in demand over 2015, with more than 12,000 procedures completed in 2016 alone.

Celebrities Who Have Had Vaginal Rejuvenation
/in Vaginal Tightening /by adminCelebrities Who Have Had Vaginal Rejuvenation
It’s no secret that almost every celebrity has had some cosmetic procedure – whether it is as noticeable as a breast augmentation or something more subtle, like Botox injections.
But you might be surprised to learn that now celebrities are opening up about getting “work done” everywhere – including “below the belt.”
While everyone was talking about Kylie Jenner’s lip injections in 2017, this year’s hot celebrity cosmetic topic is vaginal rejuvenation, or vaginal tightening.
Everyone from Kim Kardashian to Jada Pinkett Smith and Brandi Glanville are publicly singing the praises of this amazing, new, non-surgical technology for restoring vaginal tightness and sensation.
What is Vaginal Rejuvenation?
Vaginal Rejuvenation is less invasive procedures than surgical labiaplasty – with no anesthetic, no downtime and no recovery time.
This state-of-the-art procedure applies heat to targeted areas of the vagina using radiofrequency. This stimulates collagen production, which helps to strengthen and thicken the tissues in the walls of the vagina.
As a result of the thickened and strengthened vaginal tissue, the vagina feels tighter. This not only increases sexual sensation and reduces dryness, but also helps stop embarrassing bladder leakage.
Celebrities Who Have Had Vaginal Rejuvenation
Kim & Kourtney Kardashian had Vaginal Rejuvenation
Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, always on the cutting edge, have both had vaginal rejuvenation.
“My sisters they’ve had kids, and there’s a vaginal lasering, to tighten,” said Khloé discussing the procedure on her talk show, Kocktails With Khloé. “In my household all they do is talk about this vagina lasering. It’s like their discussion back and forth.”
Love and Hip Hop’s Hazel E had Vaginal Rejuvenation
Love and Hip Hop‘s Hazel E not only underwent vaginal rejuvenation — but also live-streamed it on Facebook!
Afterwards she posted on Instagram: “If your fave doctor said, ‘Hey, there is a new treatment to increase your orgasm and make your vagina look 16 again,’ I’m sure any of you … would get it too.”
“New man … is 10 years younger, now my vagina is too.” She continued in her inimitable, over-the-top-style!
Real Housewives Sonja Morgan had Vaginal Rejuvenation
“I go to a [Med Spa] all the time for my hair laser removal,” she said on the TV show Real Housewives of New York, continuing to explain that while she was there “They do this tightening and lubricating process… I’ve never had any complaints. It’s always been very good.”
Jada Pinkett Smith had Vaginal Rejuvenation
The never shy (and always stunning) Jada Pinkett Smith recently also made headlines, by opening up about her vaginal rejuvenation treatment.
In a recent episode of her Facebook Watch series, Red Table Talk, entitled “Vaginal Rejuvenation 101” Jada Pinkett Smith spoke candidly about her treatment. While she underwent this procedure to resolve her ongoing bladder leak issues, she also expresses that it is about “health” and “vitality.”
Said Jada on the Red Table Talk episode, “Is this a comfortable conversation to always talk about? No. But I think it’s super important.” She then goes own to stress the importance of talking about vaginal rejuvenation, not only in regard to sex, but for maintaining a healthy body for ourselves.

Breast Augmentation Testimonial & Case Study

Breast Augmentation Case Study:
In April of this year (2018) Shannon Lynn M. came from Southgate to our Birmingham, MI plastic surgery office in search of help with a “botched” breast augmentation that was performed 4 years ago by another doctor.
As with many of our patients, Shannon was referred to us by a physician, who knew of Dr. Ali’s stellar reputation and excellent results in breast augmentation surgery and revision.
Unfortunately, Shannon had undergone breast augmentation surgery in 2014 at the hands of doctors who were NOT board certified plastic surgeons like Dr. Ali. Shannon had heard this doctor make claims on a radio advertisement, and like many women she fell for his “hype”.
Shannon’s unfortunate results highlight the extreme importance of checking your plastic surgeon’s credentials, and making sure they have acheived beautiful breast augmentation results in hundreds of surgeries.
Shannon’s first surgeon had implanted breast implants that were too large for her frame. Additionally, he had placed them improperly in her chest. Implants that are too large and/or improperly placed can lead to pain as well as deformity. And that is what happened to Shannon.
When she returned to the same doctor, as well as a second doctor, both misdiagnosed her discomfort as “capsular contracture.” Rather than admit their mistake, Shannon was quoted a fee of an additional $9000 to correct the problem…which she could not afford.
After suffering with these improperly implanted breasts, Shannon was referred to us in April 2018. In June of 2018 Dr. Ali performed a revision breast augmentation, in which he was able to correct the “botched” procedure and reposition the breasts.
Two months later, Shannon has completely healed and she is thrilled with the look, feel and comfort of her breast augmentation revision by Dr. Ali. We are so glad that Shannon found us, and we are as thrilled as she is with the final results!
Read the testimonial, below, to hear what Shannon has to say about her breast augmentation in her own words.
Breast Augmentation Testimonial
“Amazing, words can not describe the gratitude I have for Dr. Ali and his staff!
I had a breast augmentation back in 2014, by one of those big shots that put their names all over the radio… Worst mistake of my life! I was botched, implants bigger than I wanted were put in, the doctor pretty much shoved them into my chest. It was a horrible surgery and experience! A month goes by, and my implants raised even higher, where the top of my implants were at my collar bone, and they were completely different looking. This doctor blamed me for what happened, and told me I had capsular contraction. Now given that I spent 8k on the surgery, they wanted an additional 9k for the surgery to correct it, plus I paid 100 dollars every 2 weeks to get steroids and a laser treatment that was unnecessary.
Knowing I couldn’t afford the surgery, about one year later I visited another big named doctor that was advertised everywhere. Who belittled me for the chest that I had and how I would almost have to go down 200cc (I’m a 425cc) and I would have to have a surgery for capsular contraction as well.
These Doctors are not plastic surgeons come to find out! One is an ear, throat, and nose doctor, and the other being a doctor of general medicine. Who just took classes online to be certified to do cosmetic surgery. I wish I would have known, so educate yourselves and do your homework before having any kind of surgery.
From someone who has had an awful surgery/experience, I am telling you Doctor Ali is the best!
I saw Dr. Ali in April of 2018 (4 years with awful implants), from the moment I walked into his office I was very comfortable and knew I found an amazing doctor. When I had my consolation with him, he knew right away it wasn’t capsular contraction, but a botched surgery. The fact that he sympathized with what I have had been through, and didn’t just try to make it just about the money was comforting. He told me it was going to be a challenge but he would make them look as good as he possibly could.
I had my surgery this previous June, and he did everything and beyond that he told me! I was able to keep my original implants instead of buying new ones, and he made them look so natural and perfect in my eyes! The hospital he works out of was amazing, the staff who works alongside him, and his knowledge and bedside manner is what we all want when undergoing a surgery! I am beyond grateful with the outcome and experience!”
