HelIo. I'm interested in getting a breast fat transfer for a subtle, modest increase in size. However, I have these puffy areolas that give my breasts a conical shape that I dislike. After doing some research, I'm wondering if maybe I have a mild case of tubular breasts? And if I do, will I need an areola reduction to make them look less conical or can a fat transfer (maybe with more of the fat going to the top of the breasts) be enough to do that? Thank you for your time.
Answer: Breast Shape Either fat or implants will help the cone shape to your breasts. Areolar reduction can be helpful, but the standard of performing simultaneous augmentation (with either fat or implants) and areolar reduction leads to thicker than desired scarring. I recommend a staged procedure of augmentation first followed by areolar reduction, if it is even necessary.

Answer: Breast fat transfer Hello. In my opinion you can initially go with breast fat transfer that will give more fullness to your breast and increase cup size by 1 and reduce your puffy areola. Post operatively if you are not happy with your puffy areola you can undergo reduction under local anaesthesia. Hope i have cleared your doubt. Thanks for posting your query. All the best!

Answer: Fat transfer to breasts Hello, thank you for your question and time. Fat transfer to breasts are a good option for those seeking a subtle change to increase breast size. It will increase breast size of about 1/2 a cup size. The nice thing about fat transfers is that we as Plastic Surgeons can control placement of the fat. Ideally in your situation of "puffy" areolas you would need a breast reshaping surgery. The option of injected fat can be serve as first trial, but predictability of fat grafting to change the shape along with viability of fat is not certain. You can try it first and wait 8-12 months and then consider breast reshaping surgery. You may or may not need it pending your satisfaction with the fat transfer.

Answer: Breasts Your breasts are not tubular, and fat can add volume to enlarge your breast and make your nipples look less puffy. Implants will do a better job.

Answer: Can breast fat transfer reduce the look of puffy nipples? Hello @Affectionate638676 thank you for your question and showing your pictures. You can obtain a better breast shape by performing a Lipo transfer, making them look much more harmonious and with a better ratio between the size of the areola and the shape of the breast. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS

Answer: Breasts You could consider areolar reduction but you have to weight the risks of a scar around your areolar. Fat grafting may give you more a cup size or less more volume that can dissipate with time and may need to be repeated. A small implant is a more reliable way to get more volume.
