Fat Transfer to Breasts - My doctor says they can get me up 2 cup sizes. I am about 5'4 107 lbs and 22 years old.

I'm looking to get a fat transfer to my breasts. My doctor says they can get me up 2 cup sizes ( I am about 5'4 107 lbs and 22 years old). They're going to be using UAL technique. I've been hearing so many different opinions and I just want to know the truth. I dont know what to do, I'm really stuck. I want larger breasts but if I can do it without implants, I'd be ecstatic. My biggest fear out of all of this is the results of the Liposuction (I don't want to end up like Tara Reid with all the dimples). Can someone advise me on this matter?

There is a company called Cytori that is conducting clinical trials of breast augmentation overseas using your stem cells, but it doesn't quite work like you described. The plastic surgeon harvests fat cells, just like with liposuction. They are processed over about an hour, and the stem cells...

A nipple reduction can be done and is quite straight forward. Extra skin is removed and the nipple is tacked to the areola and the shorter distance. However, if you want to change the shape this can be done with fat transfers or small implants. Not all fat transfers survive, only about 60%...

Dear Diligent287983, generally speaking, you want to reach your goal weight before you consider a surgery, otherwise your results will be suboptimal if you continue to lose weight after the surgery. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon....

ChHernm, Thanks for your question. I have found that women with dense breasts have a very "tight" skin envelope over the breast. I warn them that this is not a good recipe for taking of the fat for "volume." These clients may require more than one session and should be willing to accept no more...
