I am a MTF Transgender. I'd like to have breast augmentation and am very interested in using my excess fat to enhance my breast. Will this procedure work on the male breast? I have an A cup now and would like to go to a B cup so this seems to be right for me too. Thanks Bobbi

Answer: Fat transfer can be very effective for male to female transgender patients who have realistic goals and expectations Fat transfer will work every bit as well on the genetic male breast as it will on the female. We might want to do some preoperative expansion for several weeks with a BRAVA device, as that has been shown to enhance the results, especially in those with tighter tissues. As long as your expectations for volume enhancement are realistic, that is, in the range of one cup size larger, I think it can be a very good option for you to enlarge your breasts. It also doesn't burn any bridges either, in that, if you undergo fat transfer and discover that you just don't get the results you were hoping for, you still could safely undergo breast augmentation with implants later. Good luck.

Answer: Fat grafting breasts for augmentation can certainly be done, assuming you have lots of extra fat elsewhere that can be harvested. Using a BRAVA system can help with the process as well so investigate that on-line and find a surgeon who has the ability to use both in helping you achieve your goals.
