What is the recommendation for time to have fat transfer to breasts after explant and breast lift/
Answer: Can I have an explant with breast lift and possible fat transfer? Thank you for the question. Without photos, it is difficult to tell if you need a lift at the time of explantation. Fat can be transferred during implant removal, but the implant cannot be removed going through the breast tissue. I approach this from a small lateral chest wall incision. Then I can place my fingers into the pocket and place the fat into the muscle and breast fat, avoiding fat placement into the implant pocket. It is very likely, that you will need further grafting at a later date (when the implant pocket closes) to further augment the breasts. If you do need a breast lift at the time of explantation, I would do the fat grafting as a separate procedure once you heal. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in these procedures. Good luck.

Answer: #ExplantationAndFatTransferToBreasts Yes, you can even have some fat transferred at the time of the explantation. It will take more than one procedure for most. The cost is based on many factors: where surgery performed, length, type of anesthesia, how much fat is being used and from what areas, if a lift is required, geographical issues and experience of the surgeon. See the following links to learn more about this procedure.

Answer: Removal of breast implant with simultaneous lift and fat transfer Thank you for your question. Without a photo, it is difficult to tell the shape, dimensions and appearance of your breasts. It is very common to need a breast lift after removal of an implant. Fat can be added at the time, but it is difficult to know exactly how the breast will settle and where you will need the fat. Usually for the best results, the fat transfer is done several months after the explantation and lift.Best of luck.

Answer: Fat transfer to breasts Fat transfer to the breasts is one of the most common procedures I perform after breast explanation because of how well it works. Fat transfer involves liposuction from one or more areas of the body and transferring that fat to the breasts. It can be done anytime during the explant process or anytime after. It depends on how much of a lift that you need and how much volume you want to add to the breast. Having a full examination and consultation with a bc plastic surgeon who performs this often would be the best way to see if fat transfer is right for you at the time of explant. Best wishes.
