The best harvesting sites for breast fat transfer with the greatest number of fat cells are found in love handles/abdomen and inner and outer thighs.
Yes, fat can be transferred from the stomach to the breasts, a process known as autologous fat transfer or fat grafting. This procedure involves extracting fat through liposuction from areas with excess fat, such as the stomach, purifying it, and then injecting it into the breasts. This technique is used to enhance breast size and shape naturally without implants. It's popular among those seeking a moderate increase in breast size and more natural results. However, the amount of fat that successfully integrates can vary, and multiple sessions may be needed for desired results.
Moving fat from one area to another is called fat transfer. When it is moved to the breast it results in a breast augmentation. It can work really well, but generally I advise patients that if they want a more significant change in breast size they may need a second surgery or may do better with an implant. I also think that the breast fat transfer is better suited to patients that have a breast shape they already like, that just needs to be filled up more. An implant can have a more notable improvement to breast shape.Dr Rodger Shortt, plastic surgeon, Oakville, Ontario.
Yes, fat can be harvested from the abdomen and then transferred to the breasts. This is typically a great place to get fat because there are usually abundant fat cells that are hardy and more resistant. Other good places to harvest fat are the love handles, or flanks, and often the thighs.
Thank you for your question, Yes, fat can be liposuctioned from other areas of your body and transferred into your breasts. Fat Transfer to the breast is a common surgery.

If you are in the market for a bit of liposuction to the abdomen, transplanting the harvested fat to the breasts is most certainly an option. Keep in mind that it is not going to produce the type of result you might expect with having implants, but a fat transfer will add some volume to your breasts in a very natural-looking way. I would recommend you schedule a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for evaluation to ensure that he/she could harvest enough fat to your breasts to give you a result that you will be pleased with.
Fat transfer can be used to augment breasts. It is safe and effective and is one of the most popular surgical procedures in my practice. It can be combined with a breast lift and it can replace existing implants. It provides a natural look and feel to breasts that many patients are looking for and it can give you a smaller waistline too.That said, there are limitations. It will not provide upper pole fullness or give you the same look that implants will. You may need multiple transfers to achieve the size you desire whereas implants come in a variety of sizes and shapes.
The basic answer is yes. It's a win win situation. Basically, we remove fat areas of fat excess and inject the fat to the breast area. Fat transfer to the breast does not give the same effect as breast implant. Most patients can expect about 1 size cup change. Sometimes, it may require multiple procedure as fat may sometimes be unpredictable. The good thing about multiple procedure is that you are loosing the unwanted fat from the abdomen, waistline or thighs. The average cost of fat transfer to the breast varies by location, surgeons experience etc, but is about $7999 to $9999 in the Atlanta area. This cost can increase as you add areas of liposuction. The most important decision is to find a real plastic surgeon with experience. Do your homework. Experienced plastic surgeons tend to charge consultation fee for evaluate you and give their opinion.
Yes, fat grafting of the breasts is an acceptable way to enhance the breasts. You also have the benefit of losing that unwanted fat from the donor site.
Fat transfer may be natural and sound like a good idea, there are many problems with it:1. only one cup size can be achieved2. some of the re-injected fat calcifies, which could be mistaken for breast cancer on a mammogram.3. you may develop oil cysts and tissue scarring4. results can be unpredictable and require many sessions to achieve your desired results.Currently, there is no research that proves fat transfer is safer than implants (silicone or saline).
