I hadn't implants done 18 years ago. I was AA before the implants (only wanted B-C but ended up DD), and I have breast-fed one child. I've got plenty of fat on my thighs and belly. Do you think I would be a good candidate for a fat transfer at the same time to maintain some of the size? I'm worried about feeling bad about myself with significantly smaller breast (and 40lbs more weight on my frame) and would hope to get to a B or so.

Answer: Breast explant I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to discuss your options. Fat transfer has benefits and risks that need to be discussed before making your decision. A smaller implant may be a good option for you.

Answer: Implant removal and fat transfer Dear bkbaum, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, most patients are able to get fat transfer after the removal of implants. 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.
