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 grafting for breast asymmetry not a good idea

I highly discourage this procedure on breasts. I've seen and had to correct fat grafting gone horribly wrong. Fat grafting is certainly helpful and successful in some instances, but the risks and complications are too high in my opinion when it comes to breast filling. Pregnancy/breast feeding can bring significant changes to them. I encourage you to wait until after you have children to attempt any cosmetic procedure. Best wishes, Dr. H

Fat Grafting to Buttocks - When Will Results be Evident? Following fat graphing to buttocks and the swelling subsided, when will the full effect be evident? when does fat cells which were used to graph buttox increase in size after swelling?

A: fat grafting to buttocks

You should have noticed a difference in volume immediately after the operation. This immediate volume usually subsides over the first 3-6 months and reveals your overall result then. The fat that was grafted to your buttocks should start to behave as normal fat does in most locations. That is, if you gain weight the fat will increase in size and if you lose weight your fat cells will shrink.

When is a Facial Fat Transfer Considered Successful? How Long Should I Wait After a Facial Fat Transfer to Consider That the Operation Succeeded?

A: successful fat transfer

You can expect to see the outcome of fat grafting techniques at about 3 months after surgery. Your result at 3 months usually represents your result after your swelling and fat absorption as taken place.
