BBL has a high mortality rate, I was wondering if Breast Fat Transfer is risky as well since it also does inject fat into the body.
Answer: You Need Facts That You're Not Getting Here First, a bbl performed in the evidence based best way, has a zero mortality rate. The last five years of research has shown us why fat emboli occur: disruption of the gluteus maximus muscle fascia. Keep that intact and no emboli, no death. Second, contrary to 'dr old school', his fears should have been extinguished in 2006, when the data showed that fat grafting to the breast on average created no different calcification patterns as other breast surgeries, and that those calcifications were far different than microcalcifications of cancer. Finally, fat grafting is a great way of augmenting the breast for some people, but its results are not the same as augmenting the breast with an implant. And sometimes both are used. Go to a few true experts to get real answers.

Answer: Is (breast) fat transfer a risky procedure? BBL mortality rate is quite low when done in the superficial plane. The historical practice of injecting the fat into the muscle is what made it dangerous. Breast fat grafting is very safe. Fat is generally injected in multiple planes and does not have the same embolism risk that BBL does. As always, be sure to research who performs your surgery to ensure the best likelihood of a positive result.

Answer: Fat transfer into breasts i admit that i am old school. that being said , i only do fat transfer to the breast for reconstruction. i don't believe it is harmful for cosmetic reasons, but i have read there is a 25% rate of future biopsy in order to rule out malignancy. radiologists assure us that they can tell the difference between malignancy and benign calcifications. i am not willing to rely on that and perhaps miss a life threatening malignancy

Answer: Fat transfer The thinking is that in the bbl fat gets injected into the large veins in the muscle which causes the fat embolus. In the breast it is much easier to stay out of the muscle. The numbers bear out the fact that fat injection of the breast doesn’t have the high risk compared to bbl.

Answer: Fat transfer Dear CLME, fat transfer is a safe procedure. 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.
