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.

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.

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.
