This is a good option for removing stubborn belly fat and increasing upper breast fullness. Personally, I use Vaser ultrasound liposuction for this with consistent results.I do not perform very large fat transfers- implants are better.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations.
hello becomingbutterfly Fat is removed from your abdomen, hips, “love handles” or other areas using a fine cannula similar to the one used for liposuction but skinnier. This fat is rinsed with sterile saline solution and then packaged into syringes and prepared for transfer. Approximately 20% of fat removed is suitable and available for fat grafting. #stomach #fat
Thank you for your query. We can transfer fat from any location to breast. Each person has certain areas where the fat is more resistant and does not respond to dieting or exercise. These areas are called primary deposits and are better for fat transfer to breast and undergo less resorption. Consult a board certified plastic surgeon.
Keep in mind that when we harvest fat, only a percentage of this volume can actually be used for grafting. As such, unless you have enough fat on your abdominal wall, you will probably need to have liposuction and harvesting from additional areas, as well. But, in reality, that is actually a bonus. By addressing fat to adjacent areas, there is a greater likelihood that you will attain a more natural and balanced appearance from the liposuction procedure itself.As with all breast procedures, make sure that you consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in breast surgeries. Experience makes all the difference!I hope that helps and wish you the very best!-Gregory A Buford MD FACSBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author
Dear Becomingbutterfly,yes, you can use fat from your abdomen for transfer to your breasts. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. You will get the best recommendations after a thorough examination.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am. Society of Plastic Surgery
You have to consider not only which areas will have perhaps the best fat, but also you have to consider which donor sites will have the fewest problems afterward with the liposuction. In general, the abdomen and thighs are preferred, but, if those sites are not available, other areas can be used. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
You can take stubborn fat from anywhere on your body where you have excess fat that you want to get rid of. This includes the stomach. Fat transfer to the breast gives you a very a natural results with a final increase in size of ~1 cup size or 150cc.
Hello and thanks for your question. Short answer is yes, you most usually can absolutely undergo breast augmenation via a fat transfer from the abdomen to your breast. A photo of both areas would definitely help the experts here on RealSelf be able to give you a better informed opinion/advice. To assure that you get the result that you are looking for, I would recommend that you search for an ABPS board certified plastic surgeon who is also a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. Membership in these societies demonstrate a surgeons commitment to safety and specialization in aesthetic and cosmetic surgery. Assure that they have multiple before and after photos of results that you like so that you can have an informed discussion about your breast enhancement and possible results.Best wishes!
I am not sure that the other PS answering your question read the information...you state that you do not have implants and are not interested in implants, but they are giving advice that coincides with a revision surgery to breast augmentation. Yes, some women are born with breasts that are...
If you did not have an inverted nipple prior to the cyst removal it is likely being caused by tethered scar tissue. This tissue should be released to allow your nipple to project. Fat grafting to the breast where the benign cysts were removed can increase in size ~1 cup size or 150cc with fat...
