Price is not a factor, safety and results are. After reading about BII/Cancer/Autoimmune diseases, I'm very anxious about breast implants. I'm now considering fat transfer. I read one surgeon say she is against it bc of calcification cysts. Can someone weigh in on this? Also, some before & afters are gorgeous and others very minimal (which I would hate)...I am very healthy and fit (distance runner) so was thinking maybe a lot of fat would survive.

Answer: Fat transfer Dear Nicole, fat transfer breast augmentation is a viable alternative for women who desire larger breasts without the use of implants. Fat transfer is also widely used in reconstruction of the breast after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. It can also be very effective in correcting the size and shape of the breasts due to genetic problems such as tuberous breast or Poland Syndrome, two conditions that look like misshapen or underdeveloped breasts.In addition, the following scenarios are also reason to consider breast fat grafting:• If you have chest areas that appear creased and sunken• If you desire more permanent correction than is provided by temporary fillers• If you wish to improve your body contour, revise scars, fill bodily depressions and rejuvenate the natural curve of your breasts• To fill in contour irregularities or hide obvious signs of breast implantsYou should discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon and make sure your surgeon understands your concerns and your breast augmentation goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Fat transfer Fat has its own set of problems, including fat necrosis and oil cysts and limited volume. Plus, it is usually not the best choice in distance runners because it usually does not hold up well due to the repetitive trauma to the breasts with running.
