Can fat transfer breast augmentation help increase fullness in the lower pole of the breast?

Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs or told us your bra size.  However, fat transfer can be done to the lower portion of the breast.  The technique I recommend is a breast lift using The Bellesoma Method.  This will reshape your breast tissue creating fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.  Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.  Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Hello,Yes! Fat transfer can be effectively used to enhance the breast shape in targeted areas, including the lower pole. There is more flexibility in using fat, compared with implants,  to specifically enhance desired areas where shape issues are of concern.  As long as you have "donor" areas you wish to contour, fat grafting can help create improved proportions in your breasts and body.Additionally the results will be long lasting, so with weight fluctuations your breast shape will remain improved.Warm regards,Dr. Pedy Ganchi                                                                                                                                       Village Plastic Surgery 

The great thing about fat transfer is that you can put the fat wherever you want and you are not limited to the shape and size of a synthetic implant. You can add extra volume for the upper pole, the lower pole, the cleavage area, and the sides of the breasts. You can also lower the inframammary fold and even correct tubular breast deformity. Where you put the fat will depend on the deficiency that you have and your plastic surgeon should be able to guide you on this.

Breast fat transfer is a great tool to balance breasts, improve symmetry, and gain up to one cup size in volume.  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.
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. I typically transfer from 250 cc to 400 cc or so per breast.  Thinner patients are outstanding candidates in my opinion, because the fat transferred is extremely resistant.  I place one incision under each breast and the fat can be injected to the locations specified by the patient.
Results are largely dependent upon the skill of the surgeon, his/her ability to remove fat without creating contour deformities, and your expectations. You would need a consultation with a board certified PS to determine your available fat stores.

Fat can be used to augment the breast and will expand the breast tissue you currently have.  The results are more natural appearing with less upper pole fullness.

Dear Andronica,
fat transfer can be a great option to increase the size of breasts and avoid implants. 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.

Yes, fat grafting can be done to the lower pole of the breast. It is not possible to lower an inframammary fold with fat grafting though. In general, patients achieve about a cup size increase. I recommend you schedule a consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who has experience with fat grafting. In our office, we offer 3D imaging to give our patients an accurate idea of what their final result will look like. Good luck.

Thank you for posting your question. The nice thing about autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation is that specific sites of the breasts can be targeted by simply passing the cannula into the quadrants where the fat is needed most. Just remember that it may take several sessions of fat grafting to reach your final desired volume.

Thank you for your question. Yes, we can transfer fat to the lower pole of your breast in order to create more fullness in that region. During every consultation I examine the patient and discuss in detail with them what their goals are. When it comes to all procedures, particularly breast augmentation, I believe in educating the patient fully on their options. Fat grafting is a great option, and one that I am seeing more and more women opt for. Considering your concern of recovery, fat grafting is much quicker and less painful than augmentation with implants. It also allows you to improve your body contour with liposuction at the same time. Another benefit of fat grafting is the minimal scarring. You will be left with one or two, 1 cm or less incisions, rather than a longer scar in your fold or armpit if you chose to use implants. Fat grafting also allows us to achieve specific goals whether that be addressing lack of upper pole fullness, lower pole fullness, indentation etc. Depending on the patient's goals and needs, we can put more or less fat in certain areas to achieve the best, most aesthetic, result. As always, please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to see if you are a candidate for this procedure. 

Yw, fat can be added to the lower part of your breast to give more fullness and shape. The amount transferred is usually limited to up to one cup. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon and discussing your concerns and options.
