Considering a fat transfer to breast surgery. I consulted with four doctors in Germany where I live. They told me that they could only be able to put in 250cc of fat in each breast (One doctor didn't even examine me before telling me that. I am not convinced that 250 cc is enough to make any difference to my breasts. I have breast tissue/surface since I breastfed two children. I have plenty of extra fat. I understand that my breast is dropped but I don't mind it as long as there is volume.

Answer: Lift is more important than fat transfers At size 36 B, each 200 cc of fat corresponds to 1 cup size change. Unfortunately, not all the fat transferred survives. If you want to achieve 200 cc volume of fat, you would need to transfer approximately 300 cc of fat, which would corresponds to 1 cup size change. However, from your photograph, your breasts are low on the chest wall and widely separated. More important than fat transfer would be 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 (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Fat Transfer To Breasts I appreciate your concerns, however you do have options, both with pros and cons. Implants have a solid and reliable history with very high patient satisfaction rates but they must be replaced every 12-15 years. Fat grafting has the advantage of using your own body's material to increase breast size, but only small augmentation is possible. The 250 mL recommendation revolves around research which demonstrates that fat transfer to the breast in greater amounts usually does not take or takes sporadically. There is always uncertainty about how much fat will "take", increasing the possibility of asymmetry and need for revision. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to help you navigate this decision. Good luck!
