How would my breasts feel after a fat transfer to them?

Question

Hello doctors , I plan on getting a fat transfer to my breasts after my breast lift. I am just wondering if my breasts would feel natural and real after the fat transfer or if they are going to feel weird..my breasts are a C cup and I would like to get them bigger to hopefully a D or DD.

Properly performed breast augmentations with fat transfer only almost always provides a completely normal feeling breast.  The key is not adding too much fat at one time to avoid areas of fat necrosis that can harden.  Do not expect  a significant breast volume change however.  We usually can only provide a change of one cup size.  (Up a cup technique :)

Most often, after fat transfer to the breast they feel soft and natural.  Occasionally you can get small lumps from oil cysts that can be drained using a needle if they occur.  Generally, you can get a modest augmentation using fat alone--at most 1/2 to maybe 1 cup size increase since not all of the transferred fat will survive the transfer.  The average fat survival is about 55-60%.  Make sure you consult with board-certified plastic surgeons for best recommendations. Good luck!

Thank you for your question. One of the benefits of fat transfer surgery is that it is a 100% natural procedure, and will provide you with a very natural feel and shape. I would, however, say that at most this procedure is usually able to increase one cup size from your current appearance. All the best with your upcoming surgery.

Your breast will feel natural since fat is your own fat. I would recommend fat grafting and lift at the same time. Please be aware that it would be hard to get to DD with fat grafting in one session. Please see the link. This patient had fat grafting,lift and tummy tuck at the same time
