I'm considering undergoing fat transfer to the breasts (currently small B). I'm concerned that after a year the breast fat may have completely dissipated and I will be left with small breasts and more sagging. I'm in my 20s, but my breasts are relatively lax. What can I do to reduce absorption? Is my age a good thing, or a bad thing? What chance is there I'll have to do the same procedure again, and do doctors generally discount under those circumstances? Thanks for your help.
I understand only 50-70% of transferred fat survives in this procedure. What is the rough percentage of cases where breasts end up asymmetrical due to one breast absorbing more fat than the other? Also how many litres of fat are needed to carry out this procedure?
Dear community, I am trying to decide between breast implants and fat transfer to the breasts, and would like to know: 1. How big is the risk that one breast will absorb the fat and the other not, leading to asymmetry? I already have a small asymmetry and I am afraid that the smaller breast might not receive the fat. 2. Are there situations when you wouldn't recommend this procedure to a patient? 3. This procedure will also change the shape of the breasts? Many thanks!
I have also given birth to 6 children and they have literally sucked my breasts to nothing but I didn't have much to begin with. I have been considering having a fat transfer breast augmentation done but I am not sure how well this procedure will hold for me. It is my understanding that around 40-60% of fat will eventually be absorbed by my body. I just want to know if I should expect all of it to eventually be absorbed since I am a lean muscular female to begin with?
Any tips, or tricks to try to avoid loss of volume with fat grafting to breast. I used to have saline implants and got them replaced with fat transfer. Is it true that because my breast is already stretched that my fat graft will be more successful?
5 ft 2 in, 130 lbs, 34C bra sz. 6 months post mastopexy, very pleased with results . It was recommended that I would need implants for upper pole fullness. I was not interested in implants. However, some of the procedures I have heard about-- such as Lipo and fat transfer, and use of PRP. Somewhat confusing to me. My PS doesn't do PRP, says there's stem cells in fat transfers that do the same as PRP. Says only possible to transfer 200ml per side at a time and may need to be repeated up to 4 times due to reabsorption.
