In general or based on your experience at your practice, what is the maximum eligible BMI for a breast fat transfer? Is candidacy viewed holistically or based on BMI alone?

Answer: Obesity and fat transfer There is no absolute cut off. It’s up to each individual plastic surgeon of what they feel is appropriate. It varies substantially case by case. If a woman has significant asymmetry or a defect from breast cancer surgery fat transfer may be appropriate even at morbid obesity. To get an assessment I suggest having a few in person consultations. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
