Can these be done at the same time? Will the newly grated fat create a wider scar since it will be stretching the skin?

Answer: Breast Lift with fat transfer Hi-Thank you for your question. A breast lift with fat transfer at the time of surgery is something we perform on a frequent basis. The areas of fat transfer to enhance the appearance of the breasts are discussed with patients prior to surgery. The fat transfer is performed to enhance the appearance of the breasts without increasing undo tension to the surgical sites. Therefore, it should not increase the width of the scar. A breast lift with fat transfer can be performed safely at the same time.Wishing you the best.Dr. Rodriguez

Answer: Breast Lift and Boost A breast lift with fat transfer can absolutely be done at the same time. A breast lift with fat transfer is a procedure that lifts and reshapes the breasts, adding natural fullness by injecting purified fat from the patient's own body. Excess skin is removed to uplift the breasts, while fat, harvested through liposuction from areas like the abdomen or thighs, enhances volume and contour. This technique offers a more natural augmentation and subtle size increase, providing a dual benefit of body contouring and breast enhancement, though the enlargement is less pronounced than with traditional implants.

Answer: Breast lift with fat transfer Dear lvygrl137, I understand your concern. It is best however that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether you can have several aesthetic surgeries in one session, as this would depend on various factors including but not limited to your general health condition, the type of anesthesia that will be used, and the type of surgeries that will be performed among others.

Answer: Breast lift with fat transfer - Can these be done at the same time? Hello @lvygrl137, thank you for your question. Yes, a breast lift with fat transfer can technically be done at the same time. In combination, these two procedures are not recommended in my criteria. This is because the lift of the mammary tissue could diminish the effect of the fat transfer, causing the fat to die or become infected. A breast lift consists of repositioning the mammary tissue, improving the shape and position and causing inflammation as a result. That's why it is best to wait 3 to 4 months after the breast lift to have fat transfer to get a successful outcome. A consultation is vital to establishing a surgical plan that meets your needs, expectations, and takes into account what is possible. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
