Fat Transfer to Breast.

Hi there, I am considering fat transfer to my breasts. My Dr said that he could only transfer 150cc fat at a time due to lack of blood supply to my breasts. Question is, if i lose weight (am 150lb 5'4) and my fat cells become skinny, then there would be more fat cells in the 150cc of fat??? is the assumption correct? if so, when i gain weight i am likely to have an increase in breast size? Does this make sense?

Fat transfer to breasts

Currently in the US, fat transfer for breast augmentation is still being studied and isn't widely done. We do use it quite often for buttock augmentation and for revisions of prior breast surgeries, as well as for facial rejuvenation. Fat transfer simply moves living fat into another body area. A portion of the transferred fat (likely not all of it) will remain in the new area and will act just like fat in any other body area. As you gain and lose weight, the... more
