I had my breast implants 6 months ago and as I don't have a lot of my own breast tissue I can feel the implants. I have read that fat transfer can help with this and rippling. My question is can it be done over the implants I have or could it potentially rupture them when injecting the fat? I am planning on liposuction to my waist and stomach anyway, so if this could be done at the same time I would be pleased.
Answer: Can you have fat transfer to breasts with existing implants? Fat grafting can be successful after breast implants to improve shape and size discrepancies. Some of the success will depend upon existing tissue available for receiving the fat.

Answer: Fat transfer to breasts over implants Thanks for your question. Yes, fat can be transferred over your breast implants without rupturing them providing meticulous surgical technique is used. The technique is commonly used to disguise implant palpability and rippling, as well as increase the overall volume and improve the shape of the breast. Combining this with liposuction to your torso may well be a good option in your case. Seek a surgeon who is a specialist in both aesthetic breast surgery and body contouring.

Answer: Fat transfer to breasts after implants Yes, fat transfer works very well with or after breast augmentation with implants and can be done at the same time with liposuction to the abdomen or more areas.

Answer: Yes! 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. Robert Meger MD
