Will Fat Transplantation Work for Me? And Will It Stay Even if I Lose Weight?

I'm 19 years old, have size 34D breasts but they are not full due to weight loss. They look saggy and as my friend puts it,"Divorced". There's a large gap in between my breasts and even the best of pushup bras does not help. I weigh 155lbs(Not my goal weight) and I am seriously contemplating this procedure. I have not talked to any doctors about this because I'd like to gather as much information so I do not waste anyone's time! Oh! And I'm 5'7! So basically, would this be a good option for me?

All 4 lost 100% of their graft. At its best, breast fat grafting is a series of procedures (number unknown). It is almost never a single procedure. The... more

Fat grafting to the breasts will not correct a droopy shape

Hi there- Without examining you, it would not be possible to say with confidence what your best option might be, but based on your description, I think you are heading down the wrong path... When the breasts have lost their youthful shape due to aging and weight loss, there is usually no avoiding a breast lift of some kind...
