4"11 130lb mother of 2. I have Rhuematoid Arthritis and I am concerned about getting implants. I had a fat transfer 2 years ago, but would like to go bigger. I would like some insight if I could get a similar result using fat and lift if needed. Thank you!
Answer: Stop worrying You will never get a look like those in the posted pics because fat has no structural support (like an implant). The data is overwhelming and decisive: silicone gel breast implants do not cause auto-immune or connective tissue disorder diseases. Period. Silicone products have been used extensively in military, medical, food, and industrial use since the 1930's. Large and statistically significant studies from around the world have shown silicone is safe. There are millions of people with various types of implants other than breast implants made out of the exact same material, yet have no problem with their health. These devices include cosmetic testicular implants (the very first cosmetic implant made of silicone - 1940's), cosmetic facial implants, neurosurgical implants like the ventriculo-peritoneal shunt, finger and wrist joint implants, urinary shunts and chronic indwelling urinary catheters, and portions of cardiovascular and orthopedic implants. Do not fear and get your implants!

Answer: Can I get these results with a fat transfer and lift? Hello @smlucchi, Thank you for your question. It is possible to achieve perkier, fuller, yet natural-looking breasts through fat transfer and breast lift. If you look at the breast and the nipples are below the inframamary fold, the upper pole area has lost volume. If we only add volume with fat transfer, gravity will have its effects, and the breast will still be looking down. With a breast lift, we can reacommodate the mammary tissue, elevate the nipple, and later have a breast fat transfer procedure if you would like more volume. I linked to a video on the BRALift technique to shed more light. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. This will allow you to examine and discuss the best options for your specific case and goals.

Answer: Breast lift with fat transfer A lift can make breasts appear higher and slightly rounder, similar to last photo but not exactly as everyone’s anatomy is different.
