I’ve read the complications of breast fat transfer (necrosis, lumps, calcifications, cyst, asymmetry, infection). I’m really interested in this procedure because I don’t want implants, but concerned. Are these complications common? Are the majority of people satisfied? I have found a board-certified plastic surgeon who does a lot of these, so I know he is skilled, but wondering if the complications make it not worth it, or if im worrying too much.

Answer: Fat grafting of breasts is not the best procedure for breast augmentation Despite the fact that fat grafting of the breasts was one of the areas where fat grafts were used first, it is still not very predictable procedure. A survival and retention of fat grafts may vary and for that reason multiple procedures (2-3) may be needed to achieve desired volume and symmetry of breasts even in the most expperienced hands. Breast implants are still the gold standard for breast augmentation. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Answer: 5’5”, 130lbs, no kids, risks with fat transfer to breast & are they common? Hello @cedar river thank you for your question. It really depends on the surgical technique of the specialist performing surgery. The risk of lumps happens when there is fat necrosis after de procedure. Technique, experience, and technology used by the plastic surgeon determine the success of the surgery. For more information, you should consult one or several board-certified plastic surgeons.

Answer: Risks If properly done and not too much volume is crammed into the breast tissue, the risks are low. Most women, however, want more volume than what a fat transfer can achieve. If you would be satisfied with a half to one cup increase in size and have donor fat, then the fat transfer should work well for you.
