Fat transfer & implants? Is fat transfer addition really necessary? (Photos)

I do not think that a fat transfer would be necessary. I believe that choosing the correct implant for your breasts would provide an adequate outcome. You should see a surgeon who has a 3D imaging system in the office (we have a Vectra, there are many), which can help visualize your outcome (it is 98% accurate in simulating the surgery).

I agree with your surgeon. I think that the addition of fat to breast implantation would help to give you an optimal result. Fat grafting can help to fill in the cleavage area and can also help decrease the visibility of rippling. If you have enough fat on other areas of your body for harvesting, this to be a good addition.

To answer this question, you need to be examined in person to see where the medial edges of your pectoralis muscle and breast tissue lie. If they are sufficiently far apart, then fat grafting can be helpful. If they are close enough together that you would be okay with that spacing between your breasts, then you could go without. Subfascial implant placement can be helpful here, as well, to get the implants a little closer together. If you're not sure, fat grafting can also be added later in a secondary procedure.
