I'm wondering if fat transfer (fat grafting) can be use for breast lifting. I don't like the scars of the regular breast lifting (I'll never have surgical breast lift). I lost a lot of weight (40lbs) so my breast also got smaller. I'm 36D (41 inches above breast, 32 inches below) and I really don't like scars and nipple reallocation. Also I don't like the idea of breast implants. So, if breast implants are used for breast lifting, can fat transfer be used, too? Thanks.
Answer: Things that sound too good to be true still are... Significant breast reshaping via fat grafting is NOT possible
Hi there-
Because I do a very large number of fat grafting procedures, as well as a large number of breast enhancement procedures, I can confidently tell you that what you are hoping for is simply not safe or possible.
The fundamental problem in a sagging breast is not that it needs more filling, but that the supporting tissues of the breast have been stretched by pregnancy or changes in weight beyond their ability to recoil.
Adding more "filling" to this situation would likely only exacerbate the problem.
There are MANY unscrupulous people out there promising all kinds of things to nice people in an attempt to get their money- and I have no doubt that if you wave a bit of money in the air you WILL find someone who tells you you can have beautiful, youthful breasts without surgery or without scars....
It is very important that you realize that just because these people exist; just because we are in the United States; just because they are doctors... does NOT mean what they are offering is safe or effective.
Only you can keep yourself safe- be sure you see only surgeons certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Answer: Breast lift or Mastopexy with fat grafting. Not a good idea! This is a very popular topic in breast surgery and plastic surgery. First and foremost is that fat grafting is not accepted as a sound technique for cosmetic breast surgery, so to answer your question in short....this is not a good idea. In the larger question you have asked for a breast lift, but you are already a 36 D but will not accept scars or nipple repositioning ( breast lift), so it sounds more like you really need to sit down with a plastic surgeon to discuss what your goals and what you can accept. Be careful with fat grafting to your breast and note it is being promoted by non-plastic surgeons. I hope this helps. Dr. Trussler

Answer: I have never had anyone who regreted having the lift and scars once they saw the beautiful shape of their new breasts Breast implants are not used for breast lifting when you really need a full lift. They help lift breasts that are borderline needing a lift. In many cases, women choose to have large implants in an attempt to avoid having the scars of a lift then return to their plastic surgeon later to have them removed and have a lift because they were unhappy that their breasts were larger than they really wanted. If you need a lift, get a lift. I have never had anyone who regreted having the lift and scars once they saw the beautiful shape of their new breasts.

Answer: Breast lift through fat transfer to breasts After having done approximately 10 of these Fat Graft Enhanced Breast Augmentation I feel the lifting is very minor at best. It just gives a fullness with maybe 1 size up only. Lifting can not be accomplished by fat grafts alone. Best of luck and nice try. From MIAMI Dr. B

Answer: Breast lift I do perform fat transfer to the breast for my weight loss patients. However, it is usually done with or after a breast lift. Fat transfer does little for significant breast sagging. A breast lift will serve you much better. However, fat transfer can be performed to fill the upper porition of the breast as an alternative with understanding that the breasts are not really lifted.
