Am I a Candidate For Fat Transfer in One Breast Only? I Have Uneven Breasts and Already Had Encapsulated Implants Removed. 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!

A: FAT GRAFTS

It sounds like you may be a candidate for fat graft breast augmentation. You have reasonable desires. Photos would be helpful. I would seek a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon familiar with this approach.

Is Fat Grafting Now a Good Solution for Breast Asymmetry (Less Than One Cup Size)? (photo) 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.

A: Fat injections for breast asymmetry? The jury is still out on fat grafting. The American Society of Plastic Surgery does not endorse this procedure. I, too, have attended seminars but would not encourage a patient to undergo a procedure unless and until there is sufficient evidence that it is effective and safe. The asymmetry of your breasts is not significant and the nipple heights are comparable. Slight asymmetry between the breasts is normal. At this time, I would not recommend surgery for you but would encourage you to keep abreast ( no pun intended) of developments in the field.
