Had 280cc implants 6 months ago (but dislike that I can’t do so many activities now) so want them taken out and fat transferred. Wouldn’t be any fat to take from my abs/flanks, as I just had that lipo’d. Thank you!

Answer: Implant removal and fat grafting Excellent questions. My first question is why can't you do your activities? I will usually let my patients return to full chest activities 6 months after an augmentation. If a patient is an extreme weightlifter or cross-fit competitor, then we discuss the risks and benefits of placing the implants above the muscle. 2- In order to have about a 280 cc filling with fat you would need about 600-700 ccs of fat removed. I am not sure that you have that much. |It is best to talk with a board certified plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns.

Answer: Fat You would need to be examined to see what is fat and not skin or muscle. Just based on your photos, you probably do not have enough fat to achieve the same size as with implants with one transfer. I would suggest discussing your concerns with your doctor.
