It is easier to tell you what not to do than what to do to increase survival of your fat grafts. Common sense would dictate that eating a balanced diet and not fasting (avoid catabolism), and no heavy lifting or pressure on your chest for 3-6 weeks might be beneficial. I personally do not recommend massage should be done until after an adequate blood supply and cell stability has been restored, so would wait at least 3 weeks or more. Most of all smoking will decrease fat survival after transfer. I am unaware of any specific medications or supplements that specifically enhance fat survival.
Here are some suggestions: 1) Keep your weight stable 2) Don't smoke 3) For fat grafting to the breast, consider using the BRAVA post-op 4) Don't lie on the fat grafted area - it's sensitive to pressure. The rest is up to mother nature!

Hi There! Yes you will have some volume loss to the breasts. The basic rule is about 30-40% of the transferred fat will disappear over 6 months post surgery.
Yes. Fat grafting is an effective technique in softening the visible edge of a breast implant or other unwanted irregularities or depressions about the chest. The fat is injected just under the skin in the areas of concern in a similar fashion as seen with facial filler injection but...
