Breast fat transfer with lift - Good option for areola reduction, asymmetry concerns and cleavage? (photo)

Thanks so much for your question,

Fat transfer allows for precise volume adjustments to each breast. So if one is smaller, flatter, or shaped differently, your surgeon can add more fat to that side for a better match—something implants alone don’t always fix as well.

Fat can be injected in the medial (inner) breast to soften and enhance cleavage—particularly helpful if you don’t naturally have much volume there or if you want a fuller, more youthful look.
breast fat transfer combined with a lift (mastopexy) can be a very good

Sincerely,

I think fat transfer is a great idea. A vertical (lollipop) lift will also help with shape and a smaller, round areola. As far as volume, I would bet you will get enough for a significant enhancement.
Thank you for sharing.

Dear Compassionate767700,

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 implants
You 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.
