Would a breast fat transfer on slim person have better results than someone larger?

Question

Hi there, I'm wondering if fat transfer to the breast on a slim person would have better results than someone larger. Wouldn't the same amount of fat injected to the breasts look larger on someone who is smaller? Thanks :)

3/4 cup size increase is about average for one fat transfer procedure. The fat transfer volumes to each breast may range from 240 cc to 360 cc in most cases. About 50% of the fat survives, on average.
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 your expectations.

In any instance fat transfer is a hit or miss operation. I don’t do the procedure because I think the results are lousy. Not to mention that later you may get lumps forming

Dear Genius891839,
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.

Slim patients often are very limited in donor fat, whereby larger patients have plenty of donor fat to use. Less fat transferred is less volume.
