Would I be a candidate for a Breast Fat Transfer? I'm an A cup weighing about 106 ls and 5 ft tall

It would be difficult to find enough fat to transfer to the breasts. Of course it didn’t last when you had it done before. Expect the exact same if you get it in the breasts. No matter who does it, what they claim or how it is done. A true waste of money.

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. Multiple transfers would be required for additional cc's. In general, the abdomen and thighs are preferred donor sites but fat from other areas can be used. The fat must be injected through multiple planes in small amounts to the tissue through one tiny incision under each breast. About 50% of the fat obtains permanence
Some of the retention rate will depend upon the amount of fat transferred, as smaller volumes will likely have a higher survival. Occasionally, a patient can resorb a great deal of the fat despite optimal transfer procedures. Thinner patients are outstanding candidates in my opinion, because the fat transferred is extremely resistant. Results are largely dependent upon the skill of the surgeon, his/her ability to remove fat without creating contour deformities, and the patient's expectations.

Dear sachem,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, it is possible to increase breasts one bra size using fat transfer. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs. At 5'0 and 106 lbs, your BMI is 21 and you are quite thin. It may be possible to harvest fat. At size 32, each 100 cc of fat corresponds to 1 cup size change. However, not all fat survives. You would need approximately 150 cc of fat for 100 cc of fat to survive. It may be possible to increase your size half a cup or maybe a cup.

At 106 pounds and only a A cup, you probably don't have enough donor fat to transfer nor have enough breast tissue to receive the fat. I would suggest implants if you want larger breasts.

Fat transfer procedures are highly provider dependent and to some degree inherently limited.

It may be challenging to harvest enough fat for a successful fat transfer but if you’re willing to have enough areas treated with Liposuction it should be doable. You should be able to get 1/2 to 1 cup breast size increase. This typically equates to about 75% to 100% breast volume increase.

Your BMI is 20.5 which is great for being healthy and looking good but will make harvesting fat somewhat challenging. I do not recommend patient’s gain weight for fat transfer procedures.

Implants are simpler, more predictable and typically deliver more impressive results but some patients simply don’t want implants.

Your facial fat transfer history is irrelevant to potential results for future procedures.

My personal experience has been that breast fat transfer is a highly consistent procedure that delivers very predictable results when done correctly. Fat transfer is not good at changing the shape of the breast but gives 1/2 to 1 cup breast volume increase consistently. The results are highly provider dependent.
