Dr. Kelly Tjelmeland performs fat transfer breast augmentation in Austin at Meridian Plastic Surgery. By moving your own living fat cells from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs to the breasts, he creates soft, natural volume while refining your overall shape.

Why Some Women Opt for a Fat Transfer

  • 100% Natural Tissue: no silicone or saline implants
  • Two-for-One Contouring: slimmer donor areas while shaping and adding breast volume
  • Soft, Life-like Feel: fat integrates with existing breast tissue
  • Tiny Incision Points: minimal scarring and a faster return to daily life
  • Long-Lasting Results: once the grafted cells “take,” results can last for many years

Are You a Candidate?

Consider this option if you:

  • Want a subtle size increase and improved shape without implants
  • Have an adequate amount of fat located in the abdomen, waist, thighs, or back
  • Plan to maintain a stable weight after surgery
  • Prefer a natural alternative after implant removal or as part of a Mommy Makeover

How the Procedure Works

  1. Gentle Liposuction removes excess fat from your chosen donor areas.
  2. Purification isolates the healthiest fat cells for transfer.
  3. Precise Reinjection layers micro-droplets of fat throughout the breast for smooth, even fullness.

Dr. Tjelmeland and his team manage every detail for safety, artistry, and lasting results.

Recovery and Aftercare

  • Same-Day Mobility: In most cases, recovery is minimal. Expect some swelling for several weeks.
  • Support Garments: A soft surgical bra supports the breasts, and compression wear protects liposuction sites.
  • Back-Sleeping and Light Activity: Gentle walking is encouraged; avoid strenuous exercise for four to six weeks or until cleared.
  • Return to Work: Many women resume desk duties in four to seven days, provided lifting is minimal.
  • No Heavy Lifting or Vigorous Workouts: Wait three to four weeks, or longer if advised, to protect both the breasts and donor areas.

Dr. Tjelmeland provides personalized instructions on bras, incision care, medication management, and restorative movement so your new contours heal beautifully.

Investment and Financing

Your fee depends on the number of donor zones, operating-room time, and anesthesia. You will receive a detailed written quote and access to in-house or third-party financing so you can plan confidently.
