Is It possible to transfer 600cc of fat in my case? 5'1 and 134lbs (photos)

Fats taken from the abdominal area can be prepared and easily injected into your breast area. However, there are some situations that limit us here. One of these is to inject fat in high volumes. While there are not many problems with an average of 400cc of fat infection, fat cyst formations are seen in fat injections above this. If you want to stay in the safe area, an injection of 400cc will make you happy. You have a slight nipple symmetry. If this asymmetry bothers you, a lift around the nipple will correct the asymmetry.

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.

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.

You can definitely fat graft but not 600 grams per side. More in the order of 200 gms per side. The excess fat grafted will likely not survive and result in either fat necrosis or dissolve.

Unfortunately, you have not told us your bra size. If you are size 32 or 34, each 100 cc of fat corresponds to 1 cup size change. If you are size 36 or 38, each 200 cc of fat corresponds to 1 cup size change. However, not all of the fat survives so you would need 150 cc transferred for 100 cc of fat to survive if you are size 32 or 34. If you are size 36 or 38, you would need 250 cc transferred for 200 cc of fat to survive. 600 cc of fat transferred is not realistic. Your breasts are asymmetrical and the nipple-areola complexes are pointing outward. I recommend a simultaneous circumareola lift to reposition the nipple-areola complex and transfers more fat to the smaller breast to make it more symmetrical.

Best Wishes,

Yes fat can be transferred to the breasts. The procedure is very much a hit or miss proposition. In any surgeon’s hands

Greetings and thank you for your question. The short answer to your question (and this is noting that obviously have not examined you) is that I do not believe one can transfer 600g of fat to each of your breasts. Several factors play into this. First, you have to have adequate donor site volume to be able to collect enough fat. To be able to harvest and process 1200g of usable fat you would need to lipoaspirate at least 2L of fat , and possibly more depending on what system is used to process the fat. I do not believe you have this volume (although this is the photos provided). Secondly, the fat has to be injected/distributed in small aliquots so as to improve the the potential for the fat to "take." The volume you are describing would likely result in poor retention, the development of oil cysts/fat necrosis, and potentially significant complications. Such a volume would likely need multiple procedures that are spaced months apart and assumes you'd have adequate donor sites. I hope this helps answer your question. Best of luck!

You’re definitely a candidate for breast fat transfer. I find it difficult to place more than 400 cc into each breast. There is only so much room. 600 cc is a lot and typically is associated with cysts and issues afterwards. Feel free to set up a consultation and we’ll review everything.

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.

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.
