It has been recommended I get strattice to treat cc but my concern is that it does not guarantee that I will not require surgery in the future. Am I too old for FT to the breast? I exercise and am in good health but there must be a point in time that lipo doesn't make sense due to skin elasticity.
Answer: Fat or implants If you have no medical risks that would restrict you from elective surgery, and have donor fat available, then you can have a fat transfer. With fat, you will probably gain up to one cup. If you want more, you might want to consider implants. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon and discussing your options.

Answer: Fat transfer and breast lift Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs or told us your bra size. However, if you are having problems with capsular contracture, you may benefit from explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided and nipple sensation (in 95%) is maintained, if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. I have operated on women in their 70’s with fat transfer after a breast lift.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Am I too old to get a fat transfer to breast at 65? If you are in good health, age is not likely to adversely impact the lipo and breast fat transfer. Breast fat grafting has the decided advantage of utilizing your own

Answer: Capsular Contracture and future fat grafting of breasts Thank you for sharing. Breast implant capsular contracture is well handled by pocket revision, capsule removal and frequently an acelluar dermal matrix like Strattice. Future surgery is possible.Fat grafting is a separate topic, and provided that a patient is healthy and has enough donor site availability, she is most likely an appropriate candidate. Hope this helps. See a board certified plastic surgeon in your area. Best wishes!

Answer: Fat transfer to breast I am assuming that you mean if the strattice doesn’t work and you need to get the implants removed. You certainly can get fat transfer to the breast at any age. You just need to keep your expectations very modest at best. In most cases little or nine of the fat survive and we don’t know if it’s age dependent.
