I qualify for insurance to cover a breast reduction procedure. Could I also get a fat transfer at the same time?
Answer: Fat transfer with breast reduction? Thank you for your question, you can get a fat transfer to any part of your body if you are getting a breast reduction. However, if you are looking into getting a fat transfer on your breasts I do not recommend it since you are already getting a reduction done. I would suggest seeking a board certified plastic surgeon and reviewing all details. Best of luck!

Answer: Breast Reduction and Fat Transfer Hello,It is unlikely anyone will fat graft your breasts and perform a reduction. However, you can fat graft other areas of your body if that is your intent. Best of lukc!

Answer: Fat Transfer and Breast Lift/Reduction Fat transfer can be performed at the same time as a breast reduction to any area other than your breasts. If you are asking, can you add a cosmetic procedure to your "medically necessary" surgical procedure, then I would say, yes. Obviously, your insurance would not cover aesthetic fat transfer to other areas of your body.I will do a circumareolar (small) breast lift at the same time as fat transfer to the breasts, but I do not combine fat transfers to the breast with substantial (larger) breast lifts.

Answer: Breast reduction AND fat transfer...? Heck yeah! You are sending us doctors into a tizzy, because you didn't say WHERE the proposed fat transfer is going. I am going, first of all, to say yes on the fat transfer at the same time. Now I am going to blow up these other plastic surgeons opinions and say YES to fat transfer to the breasts at the same time. Sorry other plastic surgeons!!! I love to take out the droop on the bottom of the breasts and graft the top for long long lasting results. Great idea girl even if that's not what you meant.

Answer: Breas reduction and fat transfer at the same time. Thank you for your question but I am unsure what you are asking. Do you want fat transfers to your breast at the same time as a reduction or fat transfers to somewhere else? In general one can do fat transfers to other areas of the body but I would not recommend fat transfers to the breast during a reduction. Where you put the fat and harvest the fat is something you will need to discuss with your surgeon to make sure it is a realistic expectation
