I am planning to have explant surgery, is it possible to get a lift with fat transfer? I only have breasts implants (360cc, textured, silicone) for less that 2 years but he implants triggered my autoimmune disease. I have moderate breasts ptosis prior to the breast augmentation. Thank you for your time.

Answer: Should I do a lift and replace the implant with fat transfer? (Photos) 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. In general, 50% of the fat transferred survives. Multiple transfers would be required to reach the 360cc breast implant. In general, the abdomen and thighs are preferred donor sites, but fat from other areas can be used. I use one small incision under each breast to make the scar as minimal as possible and then inject the fat wherever it is needed. Consult via email or Skype with a board certified PS to gather more information regarding the results you are seeking.

Answer: Implant removal and fat grafting Dear suz1, implant removal and fat grafting can be an option in your case. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
