recently had a consultation for breast lift, but my surgeon conlcuded that I did not need a lift, what I had was volume loss (psuedoptosis) and that the best thing is either implants or fat transfer, since they are not that big, just need filling. I am against implants and want FT. I was wondering if FT will help make my breast feel firmer since right now they feel loose and not as firm. Also, when lying down right now they completley dissapear. Will getting FT give them shape when i lie down?
Answer: Fat Fat is soft tissue so your breast will not feel firm with fat added. Only breast tissue is firm. Fat can be added into actual breast tissue for more volume, but the volume achieved is limited. However, it can be repeated if you have more donor fat. Otherwise, consider implants.

Answer: More Characteristic of Implants The things you are describing, feeling firmer and sticking out from your body (projecting) when laying flat, are more characteristic of implants than fat transfer. Fat transfer in general is a bit smaller volume and will end up giving a softer appearance to the breast. In other words, the breast will be less firm, less upper pole fullness, and less projecting than an implant. One is not necessarily "better" than the other, but you will get a very different result from both.

Answer: No You do not provide photos so no recommendation can be made about what might be right for you. To answer you question though, fat and implants produce a very different result. Fat is soft, and has no structural capacity to lift, firm or tighten tissue. It will simple make your breasts bigger. This is actually really good for some people, and is why fat is loved by many surgeons including myself. Fat needs to be harvested from other sites via liposuction however, a procedure with its own additional risks and benefits. Implants are more reliable, safe, durable, and do not need to be changed out because some random period of time passed. Further, social media has amplified a pervasive anti-implant sentiment that has been brewing since the inception of breast implants in 1962. The truth is that silicone based devices and materials have been in circulation since the 1920's, and constitute tens of various indwelling medical devices placed in millions of people around the world, all made with the exact same materials breast implants are made of. Yet, only the breast implant has been alleged at causing human disease. Recent prospective studies have shown that women who feel they have symptoms caused by their breast implants are in fact suffering from misinformation campaign that is leading to their false beliefs. The actual quantitative data from theses studies show that there is no putative agent that comes from a breast implant that could account for their symptoms.

Answer: Breast Fat Transfer Transferring fat to the breasts is a great alternative to implants as long as expectations are inline with what breast fat transfer can achieve. The enhanced volume outcome from fat transfer is more mild when comparing to breast implants. The breasts may feel slightly firmer just by the fact that there is more tissue per area compared to preop anatomy. The breasts will have a fuller appearance in all positions including laying down.
