I’m 5ft10, 150 lbs usually. Had BA 2 yrs ago but my implants began to ripple and implants were v visible. My surgeon said I had insufficient fat covering the implant and fat grafting would solve this. 2 weeks ago I had fat transfer from thighs to breasts and they look great. I normally eat healthily but I went on holiday last week and after overindulging gained 5 pounds. I want to lose this, but will losing weight in this early stage affect my fat grafts? Most of the weight gain is on my thighs.

Answer: Fat transfer Dear Amy870,Fat viability depends a lot of surgeon technique. The fat has to be placed back into the buttocks as soon as possible so that it has a greater chance of survival. It has to be placed carefully so that not too much fat is placed in only one area. Insignificant weight loss should have no major negative effect on your final results. Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Fat take after breast augmentation with fat Weight loss may make the surviving grafts diminish a bit but the main reason that fat transfers diminish after surgery is that most of the cells are dead at the time of transplantation. The dead cells will not 'revive', although some of the fatty oils in the cells can coalesce and form fatty cysts, which technically give volume but are not alive.
