Will I see a difference in breast size after fat transfer?

The best result with breast fat grafting is achieved by addressing several breast areas to improve shape, rather than volume. Upper poles and middle part (to create cleavage) are areas of the breast that respond best to fat grafting. In person consultation would help. Good luck.

Dear realquestions1,
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 implantsYou 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.

The amount of fat that would need to be transferred for an increase in breast size varies depending on a number of factors, including the amount of breast tissue you currently have, the desired increase in size, and the amount of available fat for transfer.

During your consultation with a plastic surgeon, they will evaluate your anatomy and discuss your goals for the procedure. They may also recommend additional tests, such as mammography, to ensure that you are a good candidate for fat transfer.

In general, fat transfer to the breasts can increase the size by up to one cup size per procedure. However, it's important to keep in mind that the amount of fat that can be safely transferred is limited, and too much fat transfer can increase the risk of complications such as infection or fat necrosis.

Additionally, fat transfer is not always predictable and some of the transferred fat may not survive. Your surgeon may need to perform a second procedure to achieve the desired increase in breast size.

Overall, the amount of fat transfer needed to achieve your desired results will depend on your individual anatomy and goals. Your surgeon can provide more information and help you determine the best course of action.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck !

Typically with a fat transfer you can expect to gain one half to one cup increase in size. The fat is transferred into existing breast tissue, so your basic shape remains the same.

Breast fat transfer is good at increasing breast size by 1/2 cup when done by a competent experienced provider. Occasionally patients can receive up to 1/4 cup, increased in breast size. Generally speaking women who have large skin envelopes and more issue to graft into can tolerate higher volume of fat graft with success. Fat grafting can increase breast size, but does not change breast shape in any significant way. A lot of women of had breast lift end up with a breast shape, the blacks volume in the upper half of the breast. That transfer does not do a good job at increasing volume in the upper half of the breast. For that implants are a far superior option.
If your goal is to 10 size symmetry with some additional increase in size, but you are content with the shape of your breast fat transfer may be a good option. Overall, the results are fairly subtle even went down correctly by sufficiently experienced providers.
Delivering consistent quality, Liposuction and fat transfer result is more difficult than most people believe. The number of plastic surgeons who can do these procedures well on a consistent basis is a relatively small.
There are major variations in outcome, especially from Liposuction, depending on who you choose as a provider. For this reason, patients should be more selective when it comes to provider selection than they think necessary.
Poorly done, Liposuction can leave people disfigured and poor results are very difficult to improve upon.
I recommend patient start by having at least five in person, consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons who already have a proven track record for the procedure.
During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection before and after pictures of previous patients who have similar body characteristics to your own.
As providers to show you a variety of outcome, including results that are excellent, average, and results that did not turn out as well as they had hoped. Make sure you have a very clear understanding exactly what areas will be treated with Liposuction and review each of those areas and lots of before, and after pictures shown during the consultation. An experienced plastic surgeon should have no difficulty showing you at least 50 sets of before, and after pictures of commonly performed procedures like liposuction and fat transfer. Being shown a handful of preselected images, representing the best results of the providers career is insufficient to get a clear understanding of what the average results look like in the hands of each provider.
Early fat transfer results can look very impressive, but do not represent final results in any way. Always confirm the exact timeframe from Nguyen after pictures were taken from the date of the procedure. Any after pictures taken in less than 3 to 6 months from the date of surgery should not be considered representative of final results.
Continue having consultations until you feel very confident you found the best provider for this procedure.
Implants usually give more impressive and consistent results without the need to do liposuction. The ideal candidate for fat transfer should be a good candidate for Liposuction and a good candidate for fat transfer. Make sure your candidacy is discussed and reviewed each of the procedures.
When, in doubt, slow down and schedule more consultations.
Patient should be more selective that they think necessary for both Liposuction and fat transfer procedures.
Best,
