Hybrid Breast Augmentation

The perfect balance of implants and fat transfer for naturally enhanced breasts

The Best of Both Worlds — Volume + Softness in One Procedure

Do you want the enhanced volume of implants but with the soft, natural look of your own body? Hybrid breast augmentation combines silicone implants and fat transfer to deliver results that are full, feminine, and remarkably natural — with a smooth transition from implant to skin.

At Quttainah Specialized Hospital, renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Adel Quttainah performs hybrid breast augmentation in Dubai for women seeking customized results that enhance not only their breasts — but also their entire body shape.

Hybrid breast augmentation (also called composite breast augmentation) is a dual-technique procedure that uses:

  1. A breast implant to provide structure and volume
  2. Autologous fat grafting (your own fat) to smooth edges, enhance cleavage, and add softness

The result is fuller, more natural-looking breasts with better cleavage and contour — especially for slim patients or those with limited breast tissue.

Benefits of Hybrid Breast Augmentation

Experience the advantages of combining implants with your body's natural fat

More natural appearance and touch

Better cleavage and smooth breast contour

Hides visible implant edges or rippling

Improves skin texture over the implant

Contours multiple areas of your body at once

Smaller implant size needed = lower long-term risk

Procedure Breakdown: How It Works

1

Step 1: Implant Placement

Chosen based on your desired size and shape

  • Typically placed under the muscle (dual-plane) for a natural slope
  • Provides long-term volume and structure
2

Step 2: Fat Harvesting

Fat is taken from areas like:

  • Abdomen
  • Flanks (love handles)
  • Thighs or back
  • Liposuction contours the donor areas for additional body shaping
3

Step 3: Fat Transfer to Breast

Fat is purified and injected into:

  • Upper pole (cleavage area)
  • Inner and outer edges (to soften transitions)
  • Lower pole (to improve fullness)
  • Improves projection, symmetry, and feel

Recovery Timeline

Day 1-3

Mild swelling, bruising, compression bra and garment

Week 1

Resume light activity

Week 2-3

Return to work

Week 6

Resume gym and full physical activity

3-6 months

Final breast shape and fat retention stabilized

Fat Retention Rate

Approximately 60-80% of transferred fat survives. Dr. Quttainah uses advanced microfat grafting techniques to maximize fat survival and even distribution.

What Makes Hybrid Different?

Traditional Implants

  • Can show visible edges in thin patients
  • Limited cleavage enhancement
  • May feel less natural at edges

Hybrid Augmentation

  • Smooth, natural transitions
  • Enhanced cleavage and fullness
  • Soft, natural feel throughout
  • Body contouring bonus

Fat Transfer Only

  • Limited volume increase
  • May need multiple sessions
  • Not suitable for significant size increase

Frequently Asked Questions

Is hybrid augmentation safer than traditional implants?

Yes — it uses smaller implants + your own fat, which reduces stress on tissue and improves aesthetics.

Will I need more than one fat transfer session?

Not usually, but in very slim patients or large volume goals, a second session may be discussed.

Does it replace the need for implants?

No — the implant provides the volume foundation; fat is used for refinement. If you want all-natural enhancement, fat transfer alone may be considered.

How long does it last?

Implants last 10-20 years, and the fat that survives is permanent.

How much fat stays?

Approximately 60-80% of transferred fat survives. Dr. Quttainah uses advanced microfat grafting techniques to maximize fat survival and even distribution.

"I didn't want a fake look. Dr. Quttainah gave me fullness with implants and softness with fat — now they feel real, and I love my curves. Hybrid augmentation changed my shape completely. It's like breast surgery and liposuction in one."
