More and more surgeons are doing it...
I agree with the docs on here and do not do fat transfers to the breast. Despite all of the newer techniques, to me if it masks cancer in one patient, it isn't worth it. Thus, I have not done it.

I use it regularly in the face and buttocks. However, it is not usually a good alternative to breast implants. First, it may not be possible to harvest enough fat from a thin woman. Also, not all of the fat survives. Some gets absorbed. It usually takes at least two treatments...
