I want to get a fat transfer and a crescent lift? Is this doable? (Photo)

Is it possible to get breast lift and fat transfer at the same time, absolutely. It does not look like you would be able to get much volume though unless you have 10-20 pounds of extra fat hiding somewhere. Breast implants might be a better option to consider. If you would like to be seen in person for a consultation here at Smith Plastic Surgery, feel free to reach out for a consultation. 702-838-2455

Hello @Peaceful2294, thank you for your question. Everything depends on the surgical technique of the specialist performing surgery. Is doable. Hoever, There are cases when I do not perform breast fat transfer during a breast lift procedure because if we want to give projection we need to place the mammary y tissue adequately in place again. If the fat seeding is done at the same time, the fat might become infected or die. There is no guarantee that the seeding will stick. If you are considering a breast lift, consultation with a plastic surgeon who is experienced in this procedure is essential to ensure optimal results. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Dear Magical869563,
my preferred lift is a lollipop lift when a periareolar won't do (ie greater than 2cm lift required). The lollipop technique was created by a Canadian plastic surgeon named Elizabeth Hall-Findley and treats the breast as a three dimensional structure instead of two dimensions (anchor - lift). Most importantly it does not require the horizontal component scars that the anchor-lift requires and breasts appear much more natural, lifted, and less boxy. Lastly, the lift lasts longer because the lollipop doesn't rely on the skin to hold the breast up, its actually breast tissue thats being brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity.

The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,

Hello Im dr salvador García from Guadalajara México, if you want a good result and more predictable of size, you need implant, because the fat have some problems 1, have a reabsortion, 2. Do calcifications and cistics and with a mammografy can see like a breast cancer

The crescent lift is basically worthless and can stretch out your areola. Fat transfer is debatable but it’s pretty much a hit or miss proposition. I think you’d be better off doing nothing as opposed to those two procedures.

No, the crescent lift will not work for you and not give adequate lifting, but just stretch your areolar into an odd shape. Do the lift first, then when healed, add fat if you wish.

Breast fat transfer is recommended for patients without ptosis, and with a thick and firm skin to hold on for the added weight. And the crescent lift is done when the patient requires a 1 cm lift and this tends to be very specific and minimal cases. By looking at your photo in my experience I think the best results would be using a breast implant with an inverted T or anchor lift, but the best is to have your virtual or in office consultation and assess your case.

Dear Magical,
First of all, it does not appear that you have an ounce of fat to donate from anywhere to your breasts. Secondly, your photo shows your arms behind your back, stretching your breasts out and probably a little bit up. It is therefore a bit difficult for us to see your concerns and comment on the best options to correct them. Fat transfer breast augmentation requires a donor site with fat. A crescent lift can be done for very minor nipple ptosis, but it doesn't even look like you have that. Consider leaving your very nice breasts alone.

While you are a good candidate for a fat transfer to your breasts, I feel that a crescent lift will not give you much of a change to the lower pole fullness and 'hang'. You should consider having a periareolar lift for better results.
Best wishes,
