Can a breast fat transfer be reversed safely with liposuction? (photos)

Question

3 years ago I had a fat transfer to my breast. I had very small breast, which I liked. I just wanted a little bit of volume to the bottom. My surgeon ended up adding SO much and to the top and middle. One breast is so much larger. They look like man boobs to me. There is no volume at the bottom so when I wear a bra it pushes my breast so high up and gives massive cleavage and I’m so embarrassed. I want my small breast back. Can my breast be safely liposuctioned? I’m so scared to get botched.

Correction of secondary problems like yours is very complex and would require an expert in fat grafting to solve this asymmetry. It can be corrected with selective liposuction with small cannula but requires a true expertise. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeons with good reputation in breast surgery, is recommended. Good luck.

What you are talking about doesn’t show well in the photos. An in person exam would help determine if liposuction would be worth pursuing

Dear sunnycaliforniagal,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Yes, liposuction can be used to remove excess fat in the breasts. You may or may not be able to go back down to your exact previous size.
