Fat Transfer for Tuberous Breasts?

Question

I have very asymmetrical hypoplastic/tuberous breasts and am wanting to look into reconstructive surgery to really, just even them out at this point. I hate that there is such a discrepancy in size and, while I'd like to look in the mirror and "normal" looking breasts, and feel confident in a bathing suit, I really just want to stop feeling like I have to hide in my clothes. Would a fat transfer give me a natural look with less risk than implants?

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

It is difficult to give you good advise based on information you provided. In general, correction of tuberous breast shape and asymmetry is best done using implants and elaborate shaping of breast tissue/areola.  In some cases fat grafting may be very helpful addition. I am not sure that in case of severe asymmetry and fully developed tuberous breast deformity fat grafting could be the most favorable option. In person consultation or teleconference with a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in tuberous breasts correction is recommended. Good luck.

Steve Laverson, MD, FACS · Answer

For asymmetric breasts with tuberous features, YES, fat transfer offers the possibility of a successful correction.  Complete eradication of the tight inframammary bands must precede fat transfer in the operation, and peri-areolar skin toghtening or lift may also be indicated depending on your presentation.  More than one procedure may be required to produce your desired outcome.
