Breast Lift Through Fat Transfer to Breasts?

Hi there-

Because I do a very large number of fat grafting procedures, as well as a large number of breast enhancement procedures, I can confidently tell you that what you are hoping for is simply not safe or possible.

The fundamental problem in a sagging breast is not that it needs more filling, but that the supporting tissues of the breast have been stretched by pregnancy or changes in weight beyond their ability to recoil.

Adding more "filling" to this situation would likely only exacerbate the problem.

There are MANY unscrupulous people out there promising all kinds of things to nice people in an attempt to get their money- and I have no doubt that if you wave a bit of money in the air you WILL find someone who tells you you can have beautiful, youthful breasts without surgery or without scars....

It is very important that you realize that just because these people exist; just because we are in the United States; just because they are doctors... does NOT mean what they are offering is safe or effective.

Only you can keep yourself safe- be sure you see only surgeons certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery.

This is a very popular topic in breast surgery and plastic surgery. First and foremost is that fat grafting is not accepted as a sound technique for cosmetic breast surgery, so to answer your question in short....this is not a good idea. In the larger question you have asked for a breast lift, but you are already a 36 D but will not accept scars or nipple repositioning ( breast lift), so it sounds more like you really need to sit down with a plastic surgeon to discuss what your goals and what you can accept. Be careful with fat grafting to your breast and note it is being promoted by non-plastic surgeons.
I hope this helps.

I do perform fat transfer to the breast for my weight loss patients. However, it is usually done with or after a breast lift. Fat transfer does little for significant breast sagging. A breast lift will serve you much better. However, fat transfer can be performed to fill the upper porition of the breast as an alternative with understanding that the breasts are not really lifted.

No one wants the scars from a surgical breast lift, including plastic surgeons. For breasts that have deflated, for example after pregnancy and breast feeding, adding volume back can give some degree of lift, and implants are the most predictable way of doing that. However, it isn't really accurate to think of it as a lift. At the present time fat transfers can only be done in compartively smaller volumes, and after weight loss it seems very unlikely to give very good results.

Breast fat transfer is not sufficient to lift a truly ptotic breast.  Even a breast implant (which provides more structure than fat graft) can only provide so much lift.  I would encourage you to reconsider a breast lift which can have great results.   A great option is to combine breast lift with breast fat transfer whereby the breast is lifted and fat grafting is used to help shape and slightly increase the volume of the breasts.  Consider your options carefully and Good Luck.
