Breast Augmentation Trends for 2026: Implants, Fat Grafting, and What's Right for You

Breast augmentation remains one of the most popular cosmetic procedures, with more than 300,000 surgeries performed in 2022 alone. 

As techniques evolve, you have more options than ever before. Here at Dr. Brandon Plastic Surgery, Harvard-trained physician Brandon Elnekaveh, MD, is up-to-date on the trends in breast enhancement. 

Whether you’re considering implants, fat grafting, or a combination approach, understanding the latest options can help you make an informed choice that aligns with your body and aesthetic goals.

Advances in breast implant technology

Breast implants are a reliable and customizable option for patients seeking volume, shape, or symmetry. The latest advances in implant technology include more natural-feeling silicone gels, improved safety features, and a wider range of shapes and profiles. 

Dr. Brandon finds that modern implants allow for customized results. He can help you achieve a subtle enhancement or a more noticeable change. 

Fat grafting for subtle, natural volume

Fat grafting continues to grow in popularity as patients seek natural-looking breast enhancement without synthetic implants. 

Fat grafting uses your own body fat, harvested via liposuction from areas like the abdomen or thighs. Dr. Brandon then artfully places the purified fat into the breast area to add volume and smooth contours.

Fat grafting provides a subtle, soft enhancement, improves breast shape, and even addresses minor asymmetries. You might prefer it if you want only a moderate increase in size or desire a more natural feel.

Combined techniques to customize your results

Some patients benefit from a combination approach, using both implants and fat grafting to get their desired results. This allows for enhanced volume while refining contours and creating a softer, more natural appearance.

Dr. Brandon may recommend using both techniques together to address many different goals, including correcting asymmetry and achieving a fuller, more youthful appearance.

Deciding what is right for you

Choosing the ideal breast augmentation approach depends on several factors, including your body type, goals, lifestyle, and personal preferences. During your consultation, Dr. Brandon assesses your anatomy, discusses your aesthetic objectives, and reviews the pros and cons of each method. His goal is to create a result that’s balanced, harmonious, and tailored specifically to you.

He works with you to determine the breast augmentation method that best enhances your shape, boosts confidence, and delivers results that feel authentically you.
