Hi! I received 375cc high profile implants and as everyone woman says, I wish I had gone bigger! Would a breast fat transfer be an option for going one cup size bigger?
Answer: Increasing an implant is more reliable than adding fat It is much more reliable to increase the size of an implant than it is to add fat.

Answer: Fat grafting may be an option This would really depend on her desired breast shape and the amount of extra fat that you have. Fat grafting is best used as an adjunct to shaping the breast. He can increase the size but the amount of fat graft that remains is variable. It may require multiple procedures to get the desired result. Depending on your personal body shape, you may require, fat grafting alone, an increase in implant size, or a combination.

Answer: Can I get a fat transfer on top of implants? Fat grafting can be successful after breast implants to improve shape and size discrepancies. Some of the success will depend upon existing tissue available for receiving the fat. 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. Lipo and fat transfer to the breast can be performed during the same surgery. A board-certified PS should know where to inject the fat to prevent rupturing the implant.

Answer: Yes and no Yes, fat transfer can be added to implants to add more volume to the breast after the fact. The real question is how thick the breast tissue over your implants is (you need the tissue space to add fat grafting), and what your goals for shape are. If you want your breasts to project more, that is typically better accomplished with a bigger implant. If you want more cleavage or volume in the upper pole of your breasts, that is better accomplished with fat grafting.

Answer: Can I get a fat transfer on top of implants? Hello @Terrific227246, thank you for your question. Yes, you can have lipoinjections to the breast if you have implants. Depending on where the implants are placed, fat seeding can be accomplished. The surgical plan would depend on what you want to improve. It would also depend on whether this procedure or another will help you achieve greater harmony in the body as part of your surgical plan. The most appropriate course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeons. This will allow you to get more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez, MD FACS.
