Breast volume loss after weight loss disappoints

The loss of volume in breasts after weight loss can be disappointing. Fat grafting with multiple sessions can only increase the size of the breasts 1/2 to possibly one cup size. It does not do anything for any extra skin that you may have. Implants with a lift corrects the loss of volume and addresses the problem of excess skin. To see what you may be a candidate for, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you... more

As always, there is rarely a "Best" solution. There are, instead, several choices and the most advisable course depends on what you look like, what you want to look like, and what you're willing (and able) to have done.

Implants are reliable way to fill out breasts after weight loss

Hi Wennie, Congratulations on your weight loss. "Deflation" of the breasts can occur after weight loss. When a patient comes to the office for consultation, I want to determine if she has volume loss, sagging or both. I always ask my patients if they are happy with their size in a bra.

Using fat transfer can add some volume, but lacks the improved form and firmness of breasts lifted breasts with implants.

Cell lipo for breast lift

I am assuming you are referring to fat grafting to the breasts. This has become very popular with the past couple of years. While I am sure that the procedure works to some degree I have not yet jumped on that band wagon. fat grafting for breast augmentation works on a small basis and may increase your cup size maybe by one size.
