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 Injection for the Male Breasts This procedure would absolutely work for male breasts. It would be helpful if you could submit photos of your breasts and donor sites. I can then assess whether you have enough fat, the type of fat you have, and whether you have enough loose skin on your chest to accept the additional volume.

Answer: Fat transfer to transgender BA Yes, fat transfer would work. The results may increase your chest size 1.5-1 full cup size. More than one session will improve the fat take and size results. It is possible you can get from an A to a B with fat transfer. The great thing about breast implants is they have more predictable outcomes as far as volumetric goals. I would recommend you meet with a Board certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss: plasticsurgery.org.Good luck!

Answer: Autologous Fat Transfer to The Breast In MTF Transgender Patient Thank you for your question. Autologous fat transfer to the breast is a viable option for patients who want a very conservative breast augmentation, a natural look, and understand the pros and cons of fat transfer to the breast. This is still a somewhat controversial procedure because it may alter mammography, lead to unnecessary diagnostic procedures and the long term effects on breast tissue is unknown. Since the risk of breast cancer is lower in men, fat transfer to this area may pose less of a risk to you. In your case, since you have very small breasts, you may benefit from pre and post transfer Brava Bra tissue expansion to improve the results. This device is not FDA approved for this treatment, but it has been used off-label very successfully. Consider doing some additional research on the ASPS/ASAPS position statement on fat transfer to the breast and Brava Bra with fat transfer. Best wishes.

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.
