Fat injections to the breast have only recently been considered an option

Otto Joseph Placik, MD answers: Can fat transfer fill hollow breast areas after a lift?

I had a breast lift which did not come out well. I have excess wrinkled skin along the top of the breasts (above the nipple/areola). It's like the top half of the breast has been scooped out hollow. Can I safely have fat liposuctioned from my body and transplant it to the breasts to fill them out? I do not want any implants. Thank you!

This has only recently been considered a treatment option that has yet to gain widespread acceptability. In the past the use of fat injections to the breast was considered highly controversial due to the potential interference with mammograms.
