Are there complications with fat transfer for a person with breast cancer in family history?

Sadgirl2416
Hi. I am 24 y/old and have small and slightly tuberous breasts (bra size is 32 AA). As my main goal is to enhance the shape (and increase a little bit of volume), I though fat transfer to the breast was my best choice. Recently, I've consulted with a highly recommended doctor in my town. And he told me that, as I have a history of breast cancer in my family (3 aunts, 2 cousins), It is best for me to go with implants. Besides possibly misleading mammograms what are the dangers of Fat Tranfer?
