Fat transfer and explant Hello, I have 330 cc implant ( previously small B cup ) if I’m planning to do 300 cc of fat transfer with implant removal and a second round of 300 cc ( next 3 months after explant and transfer ), will I be able to achieve a 330 c silicone implant affect with a 600 cc in total of fat? Thankyou. Just general question

Answer: Fat transfer Dear munirah97x, 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.

Answer: Breast fat transfer after explant: will I be able to achieve a 330cc silicone implant affect with 600cc in total of fat? The answer it is highly likely. However there are several factors that must be considered: 1. Are your implants submuscular or subglandular? Submuscular implants(former pocket under the muscle) results in the ability to graft more fat safely and reliably into the muscle as well as the breast gland 2. How reliably does the grafted fat survive? Fat grafting survival relies on intimate association between the injected fat graft and blood supply. This is best done painstakingly with 1cc syringes, maximizing fat graft take,(esp important in those with limited donor sites) as well as limiting fat graft cell death leading to microcalcificatons and oil cysts seen on mammography 3. The use of skin tightening procedures reduces the injection volume required "fill the breast" as well as enhances the resultant aesthetic of the natural breast. Let me now if you have any additional questions
