One of the most common concerns patients share before breast augmentation in Seattle is the fear of results looking too obvious. Implants alone can sometimes create edges or firmness, especially in individuals with thinner breast tissue, which may lead to hesitation or second-guessing.
At Allure Esthetic, we believe everyone deserves to feel confident and beautiful in their skin. Hybrid breast augmentation in Seattle—sometimes called composite breast augmentation—is a specialized procedure that combines the best of both worlds: breast implants and fat transfer. By blending implants with your body fat, we can help create fuller breasts with a softer, more natural feel than implants alone. Our team, led by Dr. Javad Sajan, is committed to delivering a personalized and comfortable experience for every patient who walks through our doors.
One of the primary benefits of this fat transfer and implant combination is that it achieves a more natural aesthetic. Many of our patients tell us they love how the added fat transfer helps soften the edges of the implant. The result can be beautifully contoured, and because the fat is your own, it can enhance the overall look and feel of your breasts. Dr. Sajan, a double-board-certified cosmetic surgeon in Seattle, utilizes advanced techniques to ensure optimal outcomes, allowing you to achieve a balanced, proportionate figure. As a renowned plastic surgeon, he brings extensive experience to each hybrid breast augmentation. With thousands of facial and body procedures performed over years of practice, he has the expertise to refine the breast’s silhouette and create symmetry aligned with each patient’s anatomy.
Hybrid breast augmentation explained: This procedure, also known as composite breast augmentation, involves placing breast implants, then adding a layer of your purified fat around or over the implants. By doing so, we aim to achieve more refined contours, better cleavage, and a subtle softness that traditional implants on their own might not provide. Additionally, you receive the benefit of liposuction in donor sites, typically the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, which can help refine your overall silhouette.
Unlike standard breast augmentation or standalone fat transfer, hybrid augmentation strives to balance volume with a natural shape. It’s not just about size; it’s about harmony and proportion. For women seeking that little extra cleavage or to correct minor breast asymmetry, hybrid augmentation can go a long way. That’s the beauty of fat transfer for cleavage—it lets us target specific areas to achieve the look you’ve always wanted.
Unlike traditional implants that can feel firm or show edges, the added layer of your own fat creates a result that moves, feels, and contours like natural breast tissue. This is the core advantage of the composite breast augmentation technique.
The fat used for enhancement is harvested via liposuction from areas like your abdomen or thighs. This means you achieve a fuller bust while slimming and refining your donor sites.
Fat transfer allows Dr. Sajan to artistically sculpt precise areas. He can enhance cleavage definition or correct minor asymmetry between breasts by strategically placing fat where it’s needed most for a balanced, proportionate result.
For patients with thinner natural breast tissue, implants alone can sometimes be palpable or visible. The fat transfer softens the implant’s edge, creating a seamless transition from your chest wall to the implant for a truly undetectable breast enhancement.
When we consult with patients about hybrid breast augmentation, we look for a few key factors:
Dr. Sajan will discuss your goals and medical history to see if you’re eligible for breast implants and fat transfer.
During your first visit, we conduct a thorough physical examination and discuss your goals. Dr. Sajan will assess your donor fat areas, help you choose the right implant type and size, and explain how the fat transfer + implant combination works.
The entire process typically takes a few hours, depending on the complexity of your case. We use specialized operating suites designed to maintain the highest standards of safety.
Here’s what you can expect after hybrid breast augmentation:
Following postoperative guidance closely can help support your comfort, promote healing, and protect the implants and the transferred fat.
Most patients see permanent changes once the transferred fat “takes” in the breasts. Over time, some changes may still occur due to weight fluctuations or the natural aging process; however, the outcome is generally stable and long-lasting. Many patients love that the long-term results Seattle offers a balance of volume and softness that truly feels natural.
Both traditional and hybrid methods are good options for breast enhancement, but they achieve results through different approaches. Here’s a comparison to help you understand the key distinctions:
Traditional augmentation uses breast implants alone to create volume, projection, and improved symmetry. Implants come in various shapes, sizes, and profiles, making this approach highly customizable for patients seeking a noticeable increase in breast size. This method remains a popular choice because of its predictability and its ability to deliver consistent fullness.
Hybrid augmentation blends the structure of an implant with the natural softness of your own fat. The implant provides the foundational shape, while fat transfer is used to refine the overall contour, soften transitions, and enhance upper-pole smoothness or cleavage. This approach may appeal to patients who want fuller breasts with a more natural feel or those who appreciate the additional shaping benefits of fat grafting.
Patients who want a straightforward size increase may prefer traditional implant-based augmentation, while those seeking natural softness, subtle shaping enhancements, or a more personalized contour may benefit from hybrid augmentation.
You can discuss your goals during a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Sajan, and he will help you choose a suitable method.
While fees vary, the cost of a hybrid breast augmentation in Seattle is generally higher than a standard breast augmentation because it involves both implants and liposuction. When considering the benefits of shaping multiple areas and achieving a more natural result, many find it well worth the investment. We also offer financing options for breast surgery in Seattle through Care Credit, making it easier to fit this procedure into your budget. Because hybrid breast augmentation is considered a cosmetic procedure, insurance typically doesn’t cover it. However, we’ll be transparent about all costs during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.

Breast implants can last for many years. While some patients replace them after 10-15 years, others choose to keep them longer if they’re happy with the results.
Yes. When performed by a certified plastic surgeon in Seattle, hybrid breast augmentation is generally safe, with the same standard risks as other cosmetic surgeries.
Fat transfer has its considerations, such as the fact that the fat may not survive at the injected site. However, when properly performed, complications are rare.
Some fluctuations can occur, but the fat that “takes” becomes part of your breast tissue. Significant weight changes might influence your overall results.
Absolutely. Many patients combine a lift with a hybrid augmentation for an even more youthful and lifted appearance.
