Is Fat Transfer for Breast Augmentation Suitable for Very Active Women? (photo)

I'm a dancer who teaches 20 hours per week. 2 years ago I was a B cup and started teaching pole dance, requiring lots of arm strength. Then, I was insecure and now I'm an A. In my consultation, the doctor told me he was confident I could be a solid B cup taking fat from inner/outer thighs and lower butt. I'm 5'3", 110lbs and am pretty muscular except for my wiggly thighs and slightly dimply bum. Is this procedure worth it for someone who works out as much as me? Will the new fat just burn away?

Breast augmentation with fat definitely a reasonable option but.....

The most important thing to realize about fat grafting is that once the fat is transferred and 'takes' it will behave like your own fat and if you have significant weight gains or losses, the breasts may enlarge or decrease in size proportionally. This is very similar to what happens to women in normal breasts. Assuming your weight stays more or less constant then you can expect a permanent result from the fat grafting. The size you can expect depends on the amount of fat you have to... more

Fat Transfer Natural Breast Augmentation - Great Procedure for some

The answer is Fat Transfer Natural Breast Augmentation is a Great Procedure for the right person - I don't think you are that person. From your description, I am not sure you will have enough fat to transfer in order to meet your needs of being a full cup size larger. Only about 20% of fat harvested in my experience is suitable for transfer/transplantation. Of the fat that is transferred only about 50-60% tops will survive. Fat that is transferred and... more

Fat transfer to the breasts

From your posted photo and height weight ratio I think it is highly unlikely that you will be able to harvest enough fat to replace the volume you would get from a breast implant. I am pretty sure you will be unhappy with the result of such a surgery. I hope you realize that this format of posting questions and receiving answers lacks the face to face direct communication required for you to make an informed decision regarding your surgery.

Breast augmentation with fat

I would discourage you from having a breast augmentation with fat. First, you do not have that much fat on your body and second, the fat that is injected may not completely stay. If that happens you will not be the "B" cup you want to be. Although there are no studies indicating this my concern is that you may also "burn" off the fat injected into the breasts with additional body fat loss. Using implants would be more reliable and permanent. more

I did fat transfer for breast augmentation almost 8 weeks ago. At a much younger age when I taught dance exercise I did not have the fat. Now in my late 50's , no problem. My results are fantastic. If you are going to continue your long hours of dance with out a long break this is probably not the best idea for you. If you can take time off, say 4-6 months, and have the fat to spare, plus choose a very, very well trained surgeon this could work. Also, in my opinion/personal experience breast augment for the thin person even by the best doctors never looks or feels really natural.
