I'm 18 years old, 173cm tall and weigh about 63 kilograms. My left breast (B cup) is a full cup size larger than my right. I hate having asymmetrical breasts and really want to have a fat transfer procedure to make the right breast a B cup to match. I'm fairly fit so I'm worried I won't have enough fat to 'harvest'. Also, what would be the cost of this procedure be in Australia? Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated! (Oh and I definitely do not want breast implants)
Incremental fat transfers to the breast can be helpful for developmental asymmetry, but your concerns about the areas where fat is 'borrowed' is well founded. Dents and irregular areas can occur, and without care during transfer, cysts and calcifications can occur in the breast. Finally, there are not many published and reviewed series as to how to transfer the fat, and what the average result might be. At your age give the idea serious thought.

I am 42 5'2" & about 130 pounds. I had breast implants 20 yrs ago. They encapsulated and caused me lots of complications. I got them replaced & removed 4 years later. I now have uneven breast - 1 A cup & 1 AA cup & they are different shapes now. My question is -since Im not a candidate for implants, would you recommend fat grafting for me if I only want to inject fat into the smaller breast (AA) so that it can be the same size & shape as the (A) cup? How much fat would I need? thanks!
First you must understand that fat grafting is very operator dependent, and can result in cysts and calcifications which can make breast examination more difficult. Fat grafting is gaining interest and traction and a modest increase in your smaller breast does make you a better candidate. Smaller well dispersed volumes seem best, and more than one session may allow the grafts to build up with less loss.

I have a 29" waist and love handles that are 38" at the fullest part. When the love handle curve ends, the line goes in and then goes out for 42.5" hips. It looks like a triple curve on my body. 1) Is there a way I can just get fat injected into the line that goes back in so that way the love handle curve extends into my hips, making it look like an hourglass shape? 2) Does the fat need to be injected just at the sides or around the whole body? What is the procedure called, if it does exist?
Certainly fat transfer is a popular topic for face, buttock, and breast. Fat grafts or lipotransfer can also fill dents or hollows just above the saddlebag, or practically anywhere to alter contour. Transfers can be very opertor dependent, and you should expect significant resorbtion, but are worth looking into.
