I hate BA done Oct. 4, 350cc over the muscle (I was told it would be under, found out post procedure it was out over). As you can see in the picture, the results are far from great. The breasts are different in size and shape (they look horrible when I put a bra on, have to prop a lot). The doctor wants to do fat grafting to fix this problem. How do you feel about fat grafting? I know some of the fat will dissolve, and Im paranoid about getting it fixed that way. What are your suggestions?
Answer: How is breast fat grafting after a BA? Fat grafting can be very successful following breast augmentation to improve the overall shape .However in your case your left breast is lower and will require lifting prior to fat grafting

Answer: How is breast fat grafting after a BA? I'm concerned some of the fat will dissolve. I am sorry to hear about your concerns after breast augmentation surgery. I would share your concerns about the reliability of fat grafting when it comes to improving your outcome. Although hard to tell, based on the single photograph, it is likely that ( based on your description of concerns) that revisionary breast surgery would involve adjustment of breast implant capsules and re-augmentation with larger breast implants. You may wish to post additional photographs, with your arms by your side, as well as goal photographs for more precise thoughts. You may also wish to seek second opinion consultations with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons in your area. Best wishes.

Answer: How is breast fat grafting after a BA? I'm concerned some of the fat will dissolve. What are your suggestions? Fat grafting after BA usually have great results as grafting adds natural volume to the breasts. Fat grafting is not major surgery and would require a shorter downtime Based on your photos however, you might benefit from a breast lift on the left to reduce the asymmetry before undergoing fat graft.

Answer: Fat grafting Thank you for your photo. I find that fat grafting is an excellent tool in adding some volume to breasts. It is not very powerful so you cannot get much larger than a cup at a time with fat grafting but it does allow the patient to avoid messing with the implant. That being said, I do feel that your breast capsules are in different positions and you may need the implant position repositione or a larger implant and possible nipple lift on your left side to address the symmetry issue. Fat grafting can change the size, but it is not very useful at changing shape or nipple position. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MD
