I'm 33 and planned to get implants to correct my asymmetry (B on left and prob an A and a half on right). I mentioned to a surgeon that I would wait to get implants until after I have children if I were symmetrical. He suggested fat grafting on the right breast. He is an experienced and board certified surgeon who has attended several seminars on the topic, but is still somewhat new to the procedure. I do trust this surgeon to do the best job possible, but I'm not sure that I should do this now.
Yes this is a very controversial topic and you would certainly have to consider the risks before employing this technique. The best option if you know children are in your future would be to delay breast surgery until done so you can have the best experience post-partum. In addition, fat grafts do react to weight fluctuations and will increase in size disproportionaely to your native breast tissue if you gain weight. But if you are willingn to accept the risks, it is a very nice way to correct small irregularities. Removing the padding on one cup or using an external enhancer would correct your concerns for the moment.
I'm 5' 6.5" and 178lbs. I'm 24 years old and considering getting fat injection to my breasts. I currently a cup B; however, I want it to be make my breasts fuller or bigger as cup C. I prefer this method to the implant because it's more natural. I wonder if there will be any risks or side effect. Am I a good candidate for this procedure? What is the method of getting fat out of my body? Is this procedure widely used? Thank you!!
Mainstream America is not doing aggressive fat grafting to breasts. There is a risk of the fat dying and then calcifying causing specks on your mammograms that radiologists have told us can be delineated from breast cancer specks. If you're willing to accept this risk and the possibility of unnecessary biopsies, then fat grafting is fine. If you're more conservative and only want fat grafting, then wait a little longer untl the dust settles regarding this risk. There are other risks to fat grafting as well such as cyst formation and asymmetry. Personally, I like to use fat grafting to repair contour irregularities in patients who have had mastectomies rather than simply for augmentation.
Fat was injected into my temples to hide veins showing through my skin. The result is multiple, sizable lumps around my eyes. My doctor told me to stroke the lumps, but this has had no smoothing effect. It's been two years now . . . is there any way to smooth them to have them safely and successfully removed? They are hideous.
If you have not already had them surgically removed, it will take excisions to remove the lumps. Microliposuction could help but is inconsistent with producing smooth results. I would have to assume your procedure was done with traditional fat grafting that did not use the microcannulas that are now available and that do not produce such lumpiness. All the massage/stroking in the world is not going to remove them at this point as they are considered viable grafts. Mesotherapy could be considered as a non-invasive way of trying to diminish them but you should thoroughly discuss the poential risks of pursuing that. I hope by now that you have found a solution to your problems... Aloha from a Maui Boy.
