Could fat be transferred from my stomach to my breasts to make them fuller?

Yes, fat can be transferred from your stomach to your breasts to make them fuller. This procedure, known as fat transfer or fat grafting, involves liposuction to remove fat from your stomach and then injecting it into your breasts. It offers a more natural alternative to implants for breast augmentation but typically provides a more modest increase in breast size.

Thank you for your inquiry! Yes, Liposuction can be done to your abdomen and that fat can be transferred to your breasts to add volume. I recommend scheduling a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself and we can create a surgical plan to best achieve your goals!

Yes. Fat transfer to the breast can be done to restore some volume. However, many women who are good candidates for breast lift and reduction have lost volume from the upper portion of the breast. Fat transfer is not as effective as an implant to restore volume to this upper part of the breast because it does not provide the same structure as an implant. Adding fat transfer without a reduction/ lift and without an implant will likely not provide the results you are looking for.

Hello there!
This is a great question! Fat transfer aka fat grafting to the breasts is a great way to replace volume without implant placement. It may be a great option for you for the sole purpose of restoring the volume you once had. If fat is suctioned, prepared, and placed properly by an experienced provider, you will not look deformed, lumpy, or unnatural. An in-person consultation would be required to best explain the procedure, examine your anatomy, go into more detail, and highlight what would be best for you!

Hello, thank you for your question. Yes liposuction to the abdomen and fat transfer to the breasts can be done. Understand that fat survival to the breast is limited and can only increase the breast size by half a cup size. Speak to your plastic surgeon about your options.

We often transfer fat to the breasts, and it works very well. We use fine fat particles and use a centrifuge to concentrate the fat.
You should make sure you have a baseline mammogram before surgery because it will be different afterwards.

Dear hairspray8,
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.

Fat grafting to the breasts can be performed in appropriate candidate. Fat is removed from the abdomen with liposuction then added to the upper pole of the breast to restore breast fullness. In general, 30-50% of the fat transferred survives. So patients repeat the procedure to optimize the results.

Yes. This is very doable. Fat will add volume to your breasts but it will not lift them or make them much firmer. If this is ok for you then you seem to be a candidate for fat grafting to the breasts. In any case, an in person evaluation or photos are needed for a better assessment.

Best of luck,
Dr. Miguel Mota

Thank you for your query. It is absolutely possible to restore some of the lost volume of the breasts with autologous fat from your abdomen, although it is often done for smaller breasts than you have mentioned. Moderate amounts of fat can be transferred and approximately half of what you see initially, survives. Please see an experienced board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns. All the best!
