13 answers to Fat Transfer to Breast?

Fat transfer

Fat transfer to the breasts is still quite controversial. The concern is about the fate of the fat in the breast if it doesn't survive might it leave x-ray(mammogram) evidence which might be confused with a malignancy which could necessitate surgery. Fortunately there is a lot of attention being paid to this subject at the moment, so there is hope for some clarity in the future.

Fat transfer to the breasts is one of today's hot topics in cosmetic surgery

Fat transfer to the breasts is one of today's hot topics in cosmetic surgery. To be a reasonable candidate the person has to have sufficient fat deposits elsewhere to obtain enough fat to make a difference in the breasts.

Fat injections for breast augmentation

Liposuction in one area may provide enough fat upon harvesting to peform fat injections or fat grafts in to the breasts. It is becoming more common for plastic surgeons to perform this procedures. There has been a question of microcalcifications forming as a result of this technique but it may not interfere with an appropriate reading of a mammogram by a radiologist if this is noted postoperatively. Seek a consultaiton with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Fat transfers to breast is a reasonable option

Using your own fat for breast augmentation is a reasonable option. Typically, it is best for smaller volume augmentations(1/2 to 1 cup size), whereas implants are best for larger volumes. The recovery is also typically longer than an implant reconstruction, and you need to have adequate fat to donate. Lastly, with any fat transfer procedure, there can be some loss of fat grafts, so it is more difficult to predict the final breast size than with implants. Good luck

Fat transfer to the breast

This is definitely an option. Although possible there are limitations to the technique. You must have adequate fat deposits to transfer, as large volumes of fat are required to make subtle differences in breast volume. This may have to be done mulitple times if a dramatic augmentation is desired. On average a cup size is the degree of improvement one can expect. Full discussion of the risks and benefits with a board certifed plastic surgeon is critical in understanding this relatively... more

BREAST AUGMENTATION BY FAT GRAFTING

Breast Augmentation by FAT GRAFTING is a great option, but not for everyone. The only candidates are those: that have enough fat deposits elsewhere, with realistic goals (not from an A to a DD), prepared to undergo several procedures, that understand that this is a relatively new procedure.

Transferring Fat to Breasts?

The process of transferring fat from other body parts to breasts is quite controversial; many surgeons are doing it but the ASPS has not yet endorsed it. The problem is micro-calcifications and the question of stem cells and the possible induction of breast cancer.

Fat Transfer to my Breasts?

Fat Grafting to the breasts is becoming a hot topic. Unfortunately, there is probably more hype than science and of all the surgeons performing this procedure, very few are actually qualified to do so. My recommendation would be to seek out a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Ask him/her their experience and definitely ask to see results!

Belly fat to breasts?

Yes this can be done but keep in mind that large volumes of fat are needed to achieve this, so you could be limited there. Also, a significant portion of the fat will not survive, so multiple treatments may be needed. Dr. Malouf

Fat transfer to breast.

It is possible to do liposuction from any area of your body and injected properly in another. With proper technique, it can last a lifetime. It has also been shown that the stem cells in fat can help the surrounding skin when injected in ths face. As for the breast, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons do not recommended since it can cause microcalcifications and breast scarring that resembles cancer in mammograms. There are a lot of studies been done in the subject and I would wait... more
