Can you have fat transfer to breasts with existing implants?

Dear arabellamay,
Generally speaking, it can be done. Fat transfer breast augmentation is a viable alternative for women who desire larger breasts without the use of implants. Fat transfer is also widely used in reconstruction of the breast after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. It can also be very effective in correcting the size and shape of the breasts due to genetic problems such as tuberous breast or Poland Syndrome, two conditions that look like misshapen or underdeveloped breasts.
In addition, the following scenarios are also reason to consider breast fat grafting:• If you have chest areas that appear creased and sunken• If you desire more permanent correction than is provided by temporary fillers• If you wish to improve your body contour, revise scars, fill bodily depressions and rejuvenate the natural curve of your breasts• To fill in contour irregularities or hide obvious signs of breast implantsYou should discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon and make sure your surgeon understands your concerns and your breast augmentation goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello!  Yes, you absolutely can transfer your fat into your breasts if you have implants.  Damage to the implants is a definite concern and your surgeon will have to be quite careful about this possibility but it can be done safely.  If you are already planning liposuction than the timing is perfect.  Better to use your own fat if you have a use for it than to throw it away.  Best of luck to you!G.
