Fat transfer to the breast
Fat trasfer to the breast may be performed with fat obtained from the abdomen or other parts of the body, through a fat harvesting technique similar to liposuction. Fat transfers to the breast remain controversial given their uncertain results.

Fat Grafting
I do fat grafting with a system called Lipivage. The areas that I harvest fat from is the abdomen mostly with the hips -waist next. The reason that I use this system is because that it is a closed system that harvest and allows for re-injection simply and fast without any other equipment .

The question should be if you are a candidate for fat transfer
I been doing fat grafting for more than 5 years and have performed more that 220 cases. I have formed the fat grafting forum and teach other board certified plastic surgeons.The third international fat grafting forum meeting is next April(13-14)in New Orleans.
The main difference between different techniques is the harvesting technique. I have done studies and the lower the harvest pressure,better the fat survival.

Fat transfer to breast is not recommended.
I know there are board-certified plastic surgeons who perform fat transfers for breast enlargement, but they are in the minority, and there are a great many "bogus-boarded" doctors of various non-plastic surgery specialties (who usually call themselves "cosmetic surgeons") who charge for liposuction, and then charge you more for injection of the (mostly dead) fat into your breasts. These procedures are usually "marketed" as "natural breast enlargement...

Techniques and expectations for fat transfer to the breast
A number of techniques have been promoted for obtaining fat for transfer, all of them variations on liposuction: water jet lipo, syringe technique, stem-cell enhancement, and others, but the common denominator is gently handling the fat because fat cells are more fragile than it would seem. A more important consideration is managing expectations for breast enlargement with fat transfer. The maximum that can predictably be done is far less than the size of the average breast implant.
