5’10/178cm & 135lbs/61kg - do I have enough fat for fat transfer to breasts? (Photos)

Question

Hi there, I am wondering if I currently have enough have fat to have fat transferred to my breasts. If so, approximately how many CCs could be transferred? I am 5’10/178cm and 135pounds/61 kg. Thank you!

Because he has very little excess fat you do not have enough fat for large volume fat grafting to the breast. You may have enough fat for a small amount to be placed in the proper areas in combination with augmentation, but this would depend on your desired appearance. The formal and person examination would be best to give a definitive answer.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

3/4 cup size increase is about average for one fat transfer procedure. The fat transfer volumes to each breast may range from 240 cc to 360 cc in most cases. About 50% of the fat survives, on average.
Thinner patients are outstanding candidates in my opinion, because the fat transferred is extremely resistant. Results are largely dependent upon the skill of the surgeon, his/her ability to remove fat without creating contour deformities, and your expectations.

Harvesting the fat in someone as thin as you risks dents in the skin. Most of the fat will not stay anyway. Don’t want silicone gel? Consider saline

Dear Brave90437,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. 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.

Thank you for your question. Well it would be possible to get some fat from you, You are quite skinny with a BMI under 20. Therefore it is unlikely that the amount of fat that could be harvested, would be able to make a significant difference in terms of breast augmentation. However if you wanted a small/ moderate augmentation (100-150cc/ side) I believe that could be accomplished with appropriately located and performed liposuction. Thank you for your question.
