Question

Thank you for your question, 
Yes, fat can be liposuctioned from other areas of your body and transferred into your breasts to make them larger. Fat Transfer to the breast is a common surgery. You should make a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to find out what is best for you.
Best Of Luck!

Thank you for your question! Yes, it is possible to transfer fat to the breasts to make them larger. This procedure is called fat transfer to the breasts. First, gentle liposuction removes fat from parts of your body like your thighs, abdomen, and love handles. The fat is processed to remove impurities and fluids and is then injected into your breasts. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon who has experience with this procedure. Best of luck!

In general, 200 cc per breast is typically the upper limit of fat injection recommended by most plastic surgeons.  It is not that more cannot be injected; but on average, this has been determined to be the most that can be expected to live during one transfer. Fat transfer to the breast could improve the fullness of the breast, particularly at the top of the breast. If you want more than a one cup size increase, this may require multiple treatments to reach the size you desire.   In general, the abdomen and thighs are preferred areas for harvesting fat.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

yes, fat from the general abdominal area can be used for transfer.  The most viable fat cells can be found in the flanks, abs and thighs

Fat transfer is a well respected technique that can increase breast volume and improve the shape of breasts. It is becoming increasingly more common as more doctors embrace this technique. I would find a board certified plastic surgeon in your area and discuss your options.
