2nd fat transfer procedure in new location

Question

I had a fat transfer under my eyes about 7 months ago and I'm really happy with the results. I was thinking about doing a fat transfer to my breast. Could introducing new fat too soon in a different location in my body, impact the fat graft from the 1st procedure? Does the body's immune system attack the new fat (and potentially the fat from my first graft)?

Dear Lynn5151,
your breast fat transfer should have no effect on your first fat transfer results. 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.

No, once your fat has taken and healed, your immune system will not bother it since it is still your fat and your own tissue. The second graft will not affect the first graft in a different location.
