Can Renuva even out my breasts after a fat transfer? (photos)

Question

I’ve had a fat transfer to my breasts but they are still uneven. Would Renuva be able to help with the asymmetry and if so, how many syringes would I need? I don’t have enough fat for another fat transfer & implants are out of the question. Also, I am 13 months post op from fat transfer to breasts. Am I able to get Renuva without damaging the fat cells that were transferred?

Renuva can absolutely help correct breast asymmetry following a fat transfer or breast augmentation, though it does depend on how much of a correction you need. Renuva is designed for correcting small volume deficiencies.

Renuva will not damage any of your previously transferred fat cells, in fact it's often used in conjunction with surgical fat transfer procedures.

Ellen Marmur, MD · Answer

Renuva works wonders for small volume corrections, including evening out breasts after a fat transfer. Another plus, especially in your case, Renuva is an off-the-shelf treatment – so no need to have to undergo surgery to harvest fat through liposuction. 
Renuva is in fact your very own fat, but instead of injecting it, your body builds its own fat cells using the growth factors and proteins in the Renuva. Three months after your treatment, the Renuva will have been eliminated by your body, leaving only your very own fat cells in the desired area. 
Renuva will not damage the transferred fat cells. In fact, surgeons who do surgical fat transfer procedures will often inject Renuva at the same time. In the case of your own fat, when transferred approximately 25% of it won't gain vascular supply and will not live. With Renuva, 100% of the fat cells that grow will thrive.

Dear candykane09,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.

To give you an answer to your question I think you will be very disappointed with that option.

If the goal is to obtain symmetry and you only want to augment your right breast and I feel you must likely have fat left to harvest for fat transfer.

Did you have liposuction of your entire torso including all of your back, under arm area etc?

Did you have liposuction of your arms and lower extremities?

Fat transfer is a great optionIf your goal Is to get volume for symmetry purposes. Fat transfer is not particularly good at changing the shape of the breast.

The outcomes of both Liposuction and fat transfer procedures very substantially among different providers. find board-certified plastic surgeons who have extensive experience and skill with these procedures to help you out.

If implants are out of the question and you don’t want to attempt further fat transfer than the reduction of your left side is the only realistic option.

All women have breast asymmetry.

Accepting  that to some degree may be helpful as well.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD

No good doctor I can imagine would inject foreign substances into the breasts. What your pictures show is that your nipples droop and there is a slight but normal asymmetry between the 2 breasts. Rather than more volume, you would look more symmetrical with a well performed breast lift. But that would cost more than fat injections.
