After two revisions from breast augmentation and complications continuing (capsule contracture, asymmetry, capsul tear, general pain/discomfort) I am going to have to have them removed. My doctor recommended fat grafting to the breast at the time of explant to help with volume. What aesthetic outcome can someone with little natural breast tissue (a small A) expect? My implants are 300 cc low profile plus and put in a C cup currently.
Answer: Breast fat transfer The degree of fat take, or fat that will live varies in each individual. The amount of fat you have to donate and the amount of healthy tissue remaining after all of your surgeries (scar does not have as good of blood supply as breast tissue and muscle) can be limiting factors to consider. In a primary fat grafting to breast with reasonable amount of fat to donate I usually like to say that if we can get you a 1 cup increase in size then that would be a good result. Of course some people get more, some people get less, but as a rule of thumb, thats what I like to go with. Sometimes it can take multiple rounds of fat transfer.

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method At the time of explantation, most patients are usually dissatisfied with the excess hanging skin and a simultaneous lift is required. Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs. However, you would benefit from explant with lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Answer: Breasts Since you are a small A, you do not have much breast tissue to hold fat. You might gain one half to maybe one cup. However, a fat transfer can be repeated if you have donor fat available.
