Hybrid fat transfer + implant?

Yes, fat transfer can be performed on someone who already has breast implants to enhance the natural appearance and feel of the breasts. This procedure, often referred to as composite breast augmentation, involves injecting fat around the existing implants. The added fat can provide a more natural contour, soften the edges of the implants, and enhance the overall jiggle and movement of the breasts, making them feel less rigid and more like natural breast tissue.
The success of this procedure depends on a few key factors:1. Sufficient Fat Reserves: You'll need adequate fat from other parts of your body for the transfer.2. Healthy Skin and Tissue: The skin around the breasts must be healthy and capable of accommodating the additional volume without excessive stretching.3. Expertise of the Surgeon: It’s crucial to work with a surgeon experienced in both breast implants and fat transfer techniques to ensure optimal integration and aesthetics.

Dear GetGab,
it is possible to get fat transfer after breast implants. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Yes, fat transfers can be done with implants in place. However, there is always a risk at the time of fat transfer of injuring the implant, if it is in the pre-pectoral position.
