Fat Transfer for Loose Breast Skin?

There is not a good non-surgical solution to sagging and loose breast skin. A breast lift is a powerful, long-lasting procedure which can fundamentally alter the shape of your breast. I have combined fat grafting with a breast lift to enhance upper and medial pole fullness- for patients that are not interested in an artificial breast implant.

Breast lifts are ideal for sagging breasts. i warn you that sagging breasts are the result of sagging breast tissue, not skin. It is for those reasons that I perform a donut mastopexy-Goes lift or a lollipop scar (lejour) lift. Both give excellent long-lasting results. Fat is not going to improve sagging breast tissue!

Fat grafting is a very powerful and effective technique to recontour the body. Keep in mind that approximately 20% of the fat that is injected will eventually melt away on its own. When this fat melts away, he will leave tiny deposits of calcium. This can be problematic in the breast. If you receive a fat graft at this time, the small calcium deposits may be noted in a future mammogram. The radiologist may read the small calcium deposits as a sign of cancer and may recommend a biopsy.... more

Hi. Fat transfer or fat injections are not going to help your loose breast skin.  You probably need a vertical internal breast lift with a lollipop scar.

But, as with all apparently simple ideas, it is not that simple. The reason why breasts are droopy is multi causal. The unifying reasons are that the RATIO of breast SKIN to breast FILL (gland and fat) has increased. With more a larger stretched skin envelope, EVEN IF the "old" fill (breast tissue and fat were unchanged, the... more

Generally, if your have significant excess of breast skin or droopiness, it will require some skin removal in the form of a lift. Depending on the anatomical changes, breast augmentation with implants may also help. Fat grafting to the breasts for augmentation is not a fully vetted procedure yet. There are still disagreements among plastic surgeons whether fat grafting to the breasts for augmentation is a safe procedure. Grafted fat may change in characteristics and it may interfere... more

The currentl two most popular non-surgical non-implant breast enlargement techniques are the BRAVA and lipoinjection methods. Recently a paper was published touting the combined use of both modalities with decent results. In essence, the basic concept is to deflate a collapsed ballon. By filling the breast skin envelope with fat, you can achieve a fuller and inflated breast appearance. Of course this is a simplification of the procedure and you may want to call different plastic surgeon's... more
