How much fat is needed to increase bust size one cup with fat transfer, and is there much volume loss 6 months to a year after the surgery?
I would caution you about undergoing breast enlargement with fat grafting. It is difficult to control how much of the fat will take and what the long term result will be. It might look fine at 6 months, but continue to change over subsequent years. Despite claims of various surgeons, this procedure is far from being perfected and predictable at this time.
1)What is the best method/technique of fat harvesting in which the cells survival is the most? 2)Is the injecting technique/method as important as the fat harvesting part? If yes, tell me about the best injecting technique/method also. Thanks, Best Regards
There is a lot of hype in this market due to the fact that there are a lot of competing systems out there being pitched to doctors. To my knowledge, none have been scientifically proven more successful than the others. The basics apply to any technique: low pressure fat harvest, treat the fat gently, inject with micro-cannulas in a careful, well-dispersed fashion. Ask to see before/after photos, or speak to a patient who has had the procedure to gage your surgeon's success with this procedure.
Is it ever the standard of care to harvest fat for fat grafting and not inject at the same session? My doctor wants to freeze the fat and inject it in two months.
There is mixed evidence about frozen fat and its viability. If you have fat harvested properly (high percentage of viable grafts), you should get it transferred right then. You really should not need to go back and add more fat later.
