Breast lift with fat transfer - Can these be done at the same time?

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.

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.
