I have also given birth to 6 children and they have literally sucked my breasts to nothing but I didn't have much to begin with. I have been considering having a fat transfer breast augmentation done but I am not sure how well this procedure will hold for me. It is my understanding that around 40-60% of fat will eventually be absorbed by my body. I just want to know if I should expect all of it to eventually be absorbed since I am a lean muscular female to begin with?
Answer: No Vertical Scar Lift with fat transfer later if needed At 5’7 and 125 lbs, your BMI is 20. You may not have much fat at the donor site. However, giving birth to six children may have resulted in a stretched skin envelope. Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs. You may be better off with a breast lift using 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 (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Answer: Fat transfer If you are lean and running marathons, a fat transfer may not work well. First, you do need donor fat to transfer. Second, with the movement your breasts do while running over 26 miles, the fat may be absorbed more quickly. I would suggest considering implants. Long term you will have a more stable look and the implants will hold up for marathons.

Answer: Breast Implants Better Option For Your Situation KristieI completely appreciate your desires and photographs would help, because it sounds like you are not an ideal candidate for fat transfer for the breast because it is doubtful you have enough available fat to make a difference. Someone as slim as yourself who also does a great deal of cardio would benefit from small breast implants rather than fat transfer to achieve and maintain the best possible result. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to explore the best options for you. Good luck.

Answer: I am a 5'7, 125 lb very lean, fit women. I run 5 miles a day and have done numerous half marathons. Would this affect results? Breast fat transfer is a great tool to balance breasts, improve symmetry, and gain up to one cup size in volume. In general, 200 cc per breast is typically the upper limit of fat injection recommended by most plastic surgeons. It is not that more cannot be injected; but on average, this has been determined to be the most that can be expected to live during one transfer. Multiple transfers would be required for additional cc's. In general, the abdomen and thighs are preferred donor sites but fat from other areas can be used.
