Should I get breast implants if I have fibromyalgia, or should I just get a fat transfer to my breasts?

Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs or told us your bra size.  If you are concerned about implants and require a breast lift, the technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method.  This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed are maintained.  At the same time or later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.  Implants are not lifetime devices and half are removed by 9.5 years.  Fat transfers are permanent and incorporated into the body.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

any association between implants and fibromyalgia is unknown,  but based on the large number of women who develop these symptoms after implants cannot be ignored.  Is it real?  We simply don’t know.  The use of fat to enlarge the breasts has been around a while now and I am unimpressed with the results so I have a hard time recommending it.  You may be more comfortable using saline implants if you get implants at all.

Thank you for your question. You are limited with the fat grafting option. These include only increasing about one cup size and the predictability of the fat surviving may be difficult. Some patients experience fat necrosis- which are hard nodules which will ultimately need to be removed if causing problems. However if the procedure works and you only want one cup larger it is a good option to try first.  An implant is instant result - any size you choose.  There are many women with fibromyalgia who have implants without problems. I would try to find a forum for you to ask more specific questions. Best of luck.
