I have had a fat transfer to the breast area that had caused some cysts and reabsorbed. I had the procedure as a part of a breast reconstruction a few years after after mastectomy and radiation. If I was to attempt a fat transfer again am I likely to have the same result? Thank you
Answer: Fat transfer Overall you can’t expect much from fat transfer to the breast. Unfortunately prior radiation makes it even less likely to work.

Answer: If I was to attempt a fat transfer again am I likely to have the same result? Some of the retention rate will depend upon the amount of fat transferred, as smaller volumes will likely have a higher survival. Occasionally, a patient can resorb a great deal of the fat despite optimal transfer procedures. Thinner patients are outstanding candidates in my opinion, because the fat transferred is extremely resistant. Results are largely dependent upon the skill of the surgeon, his/her ability to remove fat without creating contour deformities, and the patient's expectations.

Answer: Fat Radiation does leave some permanent changes, but you might have better luck this time since more time has passed from the radiation.

Answer: Second breast fat transfer There are a lot of variables that have to be met for fat transfer to be successful.
