Is It Possible to Get Fat Injections over Breast Implants?

How safe is it? I heard that even if you get breast implants under the muscle, you can still feel the shell if you feel under the breast. Could fat injections help conceal this?

Fat Grafting Over Breast Implants

Yes. Fat grafting is an effective technique in softening the visible edge of a breast implant or other unwanted irregularities or depressions about the chest. The fat is injected just under the skin in the areas of concern in a similar fashion as seen with facial filler injection but using a blunt canula instead of a needle.

Do not recommend injections of any kind over breast implants

Fat injection and breast augmentation

Fat injections to the breast can enhance the look and feel of your breasts. I often inject fat superficially to improve breast assymetries and irregularities. I also use the technique to enlarge the breast up to a cup size. Patients love the look and feel of the breast afterwards. Fat can also be done at the same time or after a breast augmentation. Make sure you visit a qualified plastic surgeon that understands the technique needed and has experience. You will love the look. Thanks, Luis... more
