Fat grafting + lift to correct tuberous breasts? What is risk of lumpiness to the harvest site? (photos)

July 1, 2014
Asked By:losangelena in Los Angeles, CA

Having breast lift to correct tuberous breasts (had lift 12 years ago but wasn't satisfied). Do not want implants. New surgeon also offered fat grafting to enhance shape (100-150 cc per breast; goal is shape, not volume). I'm hesitant re: lipo; concerned w/ recovery and lumps/bumps @ harvest site. Surgeon says flanks are good harvest site b/c they rarely result in bumps/lumps - is this true? Is the fat grafting add-on worth it in my case? Have always hated breasts, want the best result possible.
