Hello, 34 years old mom. Breastfed for two years & looking into getting breast fat transfer (might need a lift) as well as abdomen tightening. I would like to avoid implants and major tummy tuck surgery. Is that possible? I don’t have any wish pictures as I love my body the way I am but would like to correct post pregnancy changes.
Answer: Surgery You did not post good photos of your abdomen, so I would recommend meeting with a board-certified plastic surgeon, being examined, and discussing your concerns and options. You will need more than one fat transfer, and should do the lift first.

Answer: Yes But the only problem is the fat transfer to the breast will not be able to correct the asymmetry of the breasts. Also depends on what size your goal is , you might need multiple rounds of fat transfer. Regarding the tummy , the skin laxity needs to be evaluated in exam in order to make the final decision but you might be a good candidate for skin tightening .

Answer: Re: Mommymakeover The choice of fat transfer will depend on the availability of fat to be harvested and the expectation of breast size. There are limitation of size to be gained from a single session of fat grafting. For most people with minimal body fat, fat transfer only can not provide their desired outcome, and will need an implant. As for Tummy, there are multiple procedure available, but generally speaking a mini or full abdominoplasty would give the better result in most cases. An in person consult would help in providing you with a more tailored answer. All the best!

Answer: Possible, but would temper expectations Breast fat transfer is an excellent procedure that will harvest fat from the abdomen or other areas and transfer the fat to the breast. The effect that the fat transfer will have is highly dependent on the amount of fat there is to transfer. The fat is typically harvested from the abdomen, flanks, back, and inner thighs. Based on these pictures, it would seem as if you would have minimal fat to harvest. This, overall, is a good thing as it means that you are overall of a healthy weight. However, it means that you may require a different plan to give you the results you desire. Excess fullness in the abdomen is likely due to skin excess and not fat excess, which would require a mini-abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) or full tummy tuck. Breast rejuvenation may best be achieved through a lift with or without implants. Only a full physical exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon will be able to give you the appropriate full surgical plan.
