Fat Transfer and Breast Lifts. Can I Do These At The Same Time?

Yes, Fat can be transferred at the same time as the breast lift - that is how I do it most often.Any woman who is healthyWomen with sufficient body fat for the procedureWomen considering breast augmentation who wish to be one cup size larger or lessWomen who have had breast augmentation or reconstruction but who lack fullness or have contour concerns. Fat transfer can further enhance and reshape your breasts while smoothing out visible or palpable edges of breast implants. This will disguise implant rippling and wrinkling.Women with normal mammographySee below links for more information

Hi,

In my opinion the risks and complications associated with fat transfer to breasts out weigh the benefits. In my experience large volume fat transfers (as those needed for breasts or buttocks) have a high unsatisfaction rate due to fat necrosis and fat calcification causing irregular contours on skin. My question to you is why would you want something that may or may not give you the results you want (with additional complications) if there is a new technique that will give you upper pole fullness without an implant and No vertical scar? Look into the Ultimate Breast Lift technique. It's a new class of lifting technique that does not require a vertical scar regardless of size or degree of sagginess. It has also perfected the inner cone technique with straps to provide a long term lift and perky round breasts. Breasts resemble implants with minimal scars.

Best wishes,

Yes, it can be done. The requirement is for you to have enough fat to be transferred. It's been shown in multiple clinical studies that 53-65% of the transplanted fat stays long term. This is irregardless of stem cell use or enhancment. The fat is placed mainly in the upper poles of the breasts and cleavage area. The lower pole lift and tightening is done by the breast lift procedure (I prefer a short vertical scar technique). The potential mammographic changes that could happen from fat grafts, like calcifications, can be easily distinquished from the microcalcifications which are suspicious for breast cancer. Remember, when we do breast lifts, reductions or augmentations, the same changes happen to the breasts as with fat transfer alone.
