I want my implants removed and to have fat transfer into my breasts and areola reduction Some surgeons are saying it’s safe to do all the above in 1 operation Others are saying you need to wait 6 months from implant removal before putting in the fat transfer Or are there other options? Please let me know as i don’t want to do anything not safe
Answer: Fat transfers after explant At the time of explantation, fat transfer is safe. However, if you are doing a simultaneously lift or capsulectomy that may interfere with the blood supply then I recommend you wait 6 months for the fat transfers.

Answer: Fat graft to the breast Hello, thank you for your question. So you really have the option of combining all those items into one surgery or waiting the 6 months to see how things fall. It also depends on the surgeon and what they feel more comfortable with doing. Some argue that waiting the 6 months until things settle in provide for a better stage two surgery of fat grafting and nipple reduction. Both are completely safe to perform. I would speak to your plastic surgeon to see what the pros and cons are of each way and of course what works best for you.

Answer: Fat transfer to breasts safe but limited Some fat transfer can be done when implants are removed, but it won't be anywhere near the volume of a typical implant. The same is true with delayed transfer, even though it could be a higher volume. Without knowing what size your current implants are, from the photo I would guess several sessions would be required and that you would need more than an areolar reduction to avoid having saggy breasts.

Answer: Is fat transfer into breasts safe? (Photo) The breast implant removal and breast fat grafting can be completed during the same surgery. Some of the success will depend upon existing tissue available for receiving the fat. The fat grafting will likely take several sessions to produce a similar result unless the breast implants were extremely small. I usually perform the explant first. The fat grafting I typically perform about 3 months later. This gives the patient and the PS time to assess the chance of the breast returning to the preoperative state if the implants were small and the time since placement.

Answer: Fat transfer after implant removal Fat transfer after implant removal is becoming a much more common procedure. The question as to whether it can be done at the same time versus 2 surgeries is disputed. Like most of plastic surgery there are pros and cons to everything. I generally favor 2 stages.
