I am vehemently opposed to getting breast implants but I've always wanted large breasts. It makes me sad that I don't have full cleavage to show off in low cut tops or lingerie. I'm a B cup and I'd like to be a D cup or at the very least a full C. What is the the survival rate of fat to the breasts? And is there anything that can be done to ensure that the fat survives?

Answer: Fat Fat can generally only bring you up 1 cup size per session. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Gaining 2 cup sizes from fat transfer Without an exam, or photos is difficult to provide a specific recommendation or determine the amount of fat available for harvesting. I transfer from 250 cc to 400 cc or so per breast. Fat is placed within the breast, not in the muscle. About 50% of the fat obtains permanence. If you are comfortable with about a one cup size increase, fat transfer would be reasonable. If a second procedure is indicated to increase another cup size, you can usually tell by 6 weeks. Depending upon healing characteristics, it may be reasonable to perform the second surgery at 3 months. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
