In the hybrid method, an implant is inserted first. In addition, fat is liposuctioned from the abdomen, hips or thighs, processed and injected around the edge of the implant. This can make the transition look softer, particularly in slim women with little natural tissue.
Limitations
The operation takes longer and there is an additional donor site. Part of the fat is broken down in the first months, so the final result cannot be predicted exactly. Reliable long-term comparisons are limited.
The details are on the page Hybrid breast augmentation, for the pure autologous fat method see autologous fat transfer.
