I'm 29, 4'10, 100lbs, 34B. My biggest concern is fixing the asymmetry and loss of volume. The first 2 surgeons I consulted with suggested implants & a lift to fix the asymmetry but the third suggested a fat transfer with a lift which I had never heard of before and it seriously interested me. Except he only had one example of that procedure to show me...Would a fat transfer with lift be the best option for me? Should I continue to go to more consultations?

Answer: Fat Transfer for Breast Asymmetry Hi, from your photos you look like you would be a good candidate for fat transfer or implants, and I agree you would benefit from a lift in conjunction with either. The most common harvest sites for fat transfer are abdomen or flanks, but thighs are good option as well. Hope this helps in your decision process.

Answer: Fat transfer Dear andi514, 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.
