Is it possible to get breast fat transfer and nipple surgery at the same time?

Question

I am interested in shortening my nipples after years of breastfeeding and to fill my breasts with fat though I am quite slim. Could you also tell me the areas they are likely to get fat other than buttocks? Thanks

Yes it is possible to have a nipple reduction surgery at the same time his breast fat grafting. Depending on the size and shape of your breasts as well as her desired appearance, fat grafting in combination with rest implants and/or a breast lift would be recommended. Fat as typically obtained from the areas that we tend to store more fat such as the inner thighs, the outer thighs, the hips, and the tummy

Fat transfer and nipple reduction can be performed at the same time. The fat for the transfer can be taken from anywhere. It's best to remove it from an area that has never had prior procedures that use any type of energy devices. (Avoid areas where there has been previous VASER liposuction, cool sculpting, etc as this can affect the quality of the fat).

Dear Loving363959,
I understand your concern. It is best however that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether you can have several aesthetic surgeries in one session, as this would depend on various factors including but not limited to your general health condition, the type of anesthesia that will be used, and the type of surgeries that will be performed among others.
