I recently got a breast reduction, I am 5 weeks post-op. In general, I'm very happy, there is a huge improvement compared to the before. But I'm only dissapointed by the size, I wanted to be a large C to small D, but I ended up being a C. I am trying to be statisfied but it bothers me a lot. I feel like my whole body proportions changed and my belly and hips look a lot larger now in comparison. I am contemplating to get a fat transfer, but I am wondering if its safe at what the risks are?
Answer: Breast reduction Your breasts have a nice size and shape to them. I would do nothing. Although fat transfer is an option it is very much hit or miss. The biggest risk is that it doesn’t work

Answer: Breast size post op Hello and thank you for your question. You are still very early post op and I would recommend to go through the entire healing and tissue/scar maturation process for at least 6-9 months before you start contemplating a significant revision surgery! It is very hard to promise a specific cup size after breast surgery, especially because different stores make inconsistent bra sizes. In general, risks of fat grafting to the breast include asymmetry, scarring/fat necrosis, fatty oil cysts, and need for revisions/repeat fat grafting.

Answer: FAT transfer to the breast is a safe procedure, but Proper expectations are also important to have Ideally, a plastic surgeon would be able to exactly deliver a desired breast size during breast reduction or mastopexy. This being said, there are a lot of variables that go into bra size. This includes patient chest diameter, brand of bra, and overall natural shape of the patient's breast and body proportions. It is in fact common for patients to feel a difference in their body proportion after breast reduction surgery and therefore it is important that the surgeon explains the limitations of the procedure.

Answer: What are the risks of getting a fat transfer? Hello @Ibi22, thank you for your question. A fat transfer surgery to the breasts is always safe when performed by an expert. All surgical fat transfer procedures involve reshaping the body's shape through the extraction of adipose tissue that is then treated in order to enhance the breast. Technique, experience, and technology used by the plastic surgeon determine the success of the surgery. For more information, you should consult one or several board-certified plastic surgeons.
