Am I a candidate for a breast fat transfer? I suffer from fat accumulation in the abdominal area, along with small breast size. My weight is 61 kg, and my height is 158 cm. I would like to know if it is possible in my case to transfer fat from the abdomen and thighs to the breasts. If this is feasible, how many grams can approximately be injected into the breasts in my case? Is it possible to inject 600 grams into each breast? Would the amount of fat and breast tissue allow for this? If not, what is the approximate amount that can be inject

Answer: Smaller volume in multiple stages Hello, Issue #1: To know for sure, you would need a full exam of your abdomen and thighs to make sure you have enough fat to donate. For 600cc of fat per breast you need to be able to harvest that and more from donor sites. Issue #2: 600cc is too much to transfer at one time per breast. I would recommend the ballpark of 200-300cc. This is due to survival rates. Fat transfer is a multi step process. Over the course of at least 2 transfer surgeries, you may be able to get 600cc per breast if you have enough at the donor sites, however in one surgery I would not recommend. Take of fat graft is only 60-80%. This drops if you transfer too much as the fat mound is too large and unable to establish a blood supply. So the middle of the mound will die and over time will involute as your body resorbs it. Resulting in much less take than if you stage it. In summary, I think you would be an excellent candidate, however your expectations need to be adjusted to a lower volume with the understanding that not all fat will survive and you may need multiple fat transfers to get the volume you want with fat. If you want a quicker increase in volume, an implant is always an option and you can combine this with fat transfer. Good luck!

Answer: The Best Option For You! HelloIf there is no sagging in your breasts, fat injection can be performed. 500 cc of fat can be easily taken from the abdomen, but I cannot see the inside of your thighs or your waist. Therefore, I cannot determine how many cc of fat can be taken from those areas. In each session, 250-250 cc (total 500 cc) of fat can be injected into the breasts. I recommend at least 2 sessions of fat injection.

Answer: Breasts If you want a 600 cc increase, you need implants. with fat, you may gain up to a cup increase per transfer. Implants give a more reliable volume increase.

Answer: Fat transfer Dear Charming446718, fat transfer breast augmentation is a viable alternative for women who desire larger breasts without the use of implants. Fat transfer is also widely used in reconstruction of the breast after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. It can also be very effective in correcting the size and shape of the breasts due to genetic problems such as tuberous breast or Poland Syndrome, two conditions that look like misshapen or underdeveloped breasts.In addition, the following scenarios are also reason to consider breast fat grafting:• If you have chest areas that appear creased and sunken• If you desire more permanent correction than is provided by temporary fillers• If you wish to improve your body contour, revise scars, fill bodily depressions and rejuvenate the natural curve of your breasts• To fill in contour irregularities or hide obvious signs of breast implantsYou should discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon and make sure your surgeon understands your concerns and your breast augmentation goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Fat transfer to breast You appear to be a great candidate for fat transfer. The higher the volume transferred, the higher the chances of complications like fat necrosis, and oil cyst formation. I would recommend transferring no more than 400 mL per breast at one time, although other surgeons may have different experiences. With the Viality fat washing system (including their fat membrane stabilizer), take rates can be as high as 80%. There should be no need to over transfer.
