I want to have my implants, (sub-muscular) of 10 years removed, no lift, and replace some volume with a living fat, transfer to my breasts. I started out as a B cup and went to a C cup, I am 5'7" and 135 lbs. Does anyone specialize in both? Are there doctors who have at least 5+ years successful expertise in this procedure? The last thing I want to do is spend $1300+ and have ugly scars and 70%+ of the fat reabsorbed. I am looking for a skilled Doctor. What sort of results could I expect?

Finding a local plastic surgeon

To find answers to your questions as well as a local board certified plastic surgeon, check out the American Society of Plastic Surgeons to find someone in your area. If you're willing to travel, I do perform breast surgery frequently as well as fat grafting. It's hard to give you answers for appearance without actually seeing you.

Breast implant removal (explantation) and fat grafting

I have recently begun this procedure and have one patient who has undergone two fat grafting sessions with an estimated 350cc of take. Dr. Khoobehi in New Orleans has some of the most extensive experience in the USA with this technique but I am not sure if it is more than 5 years.

Implant removal and fat transfer

Even though there are some surgeons performing fat transfer to the breast( and usually for reconstruction), I would have to say there is not enough experience out there to guarantee a good result consistently. If anything, I would remove the implants and allow the breasts to heal before undergoing fat injection.

Specialize in fat transfer and breast implant removal?

I doubt that any Board Certified Plastic Surgeon would specialize in fat transfer and breast implant removal, He or She may have an interest in that area but what is specialization. Five years experience in this combination procedure that is largely unproven would be unlikely. The most experienced surgeons in fat transfer are probable in Brazil, but clinical trials to help confirm effectiveness have not been done.
