Breast Lift on Small Breasts, Fat Grafting, Strattice For Small Breasts?

I've asked a question about explanting & doing a lift on my small 32a/b breasts (they are now a 32d w/ implants) & I appreciate the feedback! I've seen mention of fat grafting or strattice for shaping. What do you all think of this? If you use either of these, how many sheets of strattice would you use? For fat grafting, where do you take the fat from? I'm thin, but might have a tad in my tummy. Already have a lift on one breast & scar very well. Not scared of scars. You all are so helpful! :)

This is an illusion from the fill of the pillow-volume of the implant. In most cases I would recommend just removing... more

Implant removal

It is clear you are doing your research. The reason we look to volume and lifting after removal of implants is because the skin envelope of the breast has been expanded by the implants. fat grafting is an elegant way to replace volume in the breast for modest breast augmentation or effecting shape change.Implant removal alone would not be satisfactory to most woman as the breasts will appear flat and deflated.Stratice is a dermal material used to cover and support implants and not generally... more

Removing Implants and Lifting and Filling Natural Breasts

Great Question! This is a common problem that is encountered by women that have had an augmentation in the past that they now feel is to large.I would not advise you to only do an explant and a lift. I would think that you would not like the deflated appearance of your breasts even with a great lift. Fat grafting with an explant and lift can work very well in the hands of an experienced surgeon, but your surgeon must be experienced with fat grafting and lifting, and the final size obtained... more
