Or do I have Tuberous breast - will fat transfer alone make them look rounder? - I’m 34 years old, I’ve had 3 C-sections - I’d like to find out if fat transfer alone will be enough to get fuller & perhaps bigger breast without implants? My goal is to may be achieve the last pic look? I’m planning on getting a tummy tuck as well, I just don’t know if it’s possible to have both at the same time ? Please advise thanks in advance.

Answer: Do I have lower pole hypoplasia? Bilateral Constricted breast? Will a fat transfer alone make them look rounder? Hello and thank you for your question. Tummy tuck and breast surgery can be performed at the same. You can have fat transfer to your breasts. There are certain factors to consider prior to undergoing fat transfer. There is a limitation in the amount fat that can be transferred successfully in one session, which is largely determined by the existing breast volume prior to the procedure. Typically, we can inject 200-250 cc per breast. Patients can expect an increase in the breast volume by 1/2 to 1 cup. Generally speaking, donor sites are abdomen, flanks and thighs. This has the advantage of improving the contour of abdomen and waist, and simultaneous in breast volume. Another factor to consider is unpredictability of fat retention after transfer. Overall, implants are more common and have better and more reliable outcomes. My best advice is that you discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals with a board-certified plastic surgeon. I would ask to see before and after pictures of their real patients. It's important that you trust your surgeon's skills and ability to achieve the results you are looking for.

Answer: Breast Augmention VS Fat Transfer Hello and great question. I appreciate the time you are spending researching this procedure. My name is Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel.
