26 years old - 65 kg, 171 cm, breast fat transfer - how much fat can be transferred? (photos)

Just based off photos (and no physical exam) - these are just estimates of roughly how much fat are in those areas - and this can vary depending on how aggressive your surgeon liposuctions these areas.
(based off both sides together)Love handles - around 500-1000 mL or cc of fat (or more)Back rolls / folds - won't be a lot in this area usually because this is more loose skin versus "fat" - 300-500 mL Posterior thigh - you want to be careful getting lipo here, can cause cellulite look after or dents can form (usually inner thigh is safer to harvest fat) - 400-800 mL roughly Abdomen - depending on the layers / aggressiveness - 400-800 mL (or more).
Without breast photos, its hard to assess how much fat you need to for the transfer. Remember, fat transfer is not like breast implants - will not have fullness indefinitely, fat will resorb while healing (40-70%), fat will shrink or grow as your weight changes in the future. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your query. Based on your photographs , you can have 300 to 350 cc of purified fat transferred to your breasts, which would give you good volume. Please find an experienced board certified plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns. All the best!

Dear karolina.2,

fat transfer breast augmentation is a viable alternative for women who desire larger breasts without the use of implants. Fat transfer is also widely used in reconstruction of the breast after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. It can also be very effective in correcting the size and shape of the breasts due to genetic problems such as tuberous breast or Poland Syndrome, two conditions that look like misshapen or underdeveloped breasts.
In addition, the following scenarios are also reason to consider breast fat grafting:
• If you have chest areas that appear creased and sunken
• If you desire more permanent correction than is provided by temporary fillers
• If you wish to improve your body contour, revise scars, fill bodily depressions and rejuvenate the natural curve of your breasts
• To fill in contour irregularities or hide obvious signs of breast implants
You should discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon and make sure your surgeon understands your concerns and your breast augmentation goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
