I don’t mind them being uneven, but being extremely uneven as they are. I am strongly considering doing a fat transfer just to one of them, while possibly pulling a little bit of fat out of the side of one. Thoughts? On the bottom they fold almost at same place, yet the left one is very heavy and saggy. Prefer to not go under
Answer: Fat transfer? I can see the significant asymmetry and why it is bothersome to you. However, by adding volume to the smaller, tighter right breast, and removing volume from the left larger, looser breast can exacerbate the asymmetry. A better plan may be to perform a vertical, small reduction to the left breast which will more accurately treat the underlying issue. Thank you for sharing.

Answer: Uneven breasts & considering breast fat transfer Hello, Thank you for the question and the photo. Fat transfer to the smaller breast would be a great option for you to help increase the breast volume and improve symmetry. This is done usually through tiny incisions which heal with minimal scarring. Breast lipofilling using fat grafting may require a few sessions (surgeries) to achieve a fuller cleavage, which is an important consideration for many patients. I suggest that you seek an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon specializing in Breast Surgeries in order to discuss your goals and concerns for the best cosmetic results. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. Best wishes and good luck. Best regards, Dr. Irena KaranetzBreast Fellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Uneven breasts & considering breast fat transfer on one of them? Hi! So yes! Fat transer to your right breast will make it bigger. This much will actually work, but your asymmetry is due to other issues as well. If you want best results you would also need to correct the heaviness and saggyness on your left breast. For this, a small reduction/lift via the areola can be performed. This, plus lipo to the sides will lift your left breast and it will make it smaller as well. It can also make your areolas size and positioning size simetrical. Plus, this can be done under local anesthesia so there is no need to put you under general anesthesia for this. Best of luck, Dr. Miguel Mota

Answer: Breast surgery Suctioning the large breast would probably work better than fat transfer. More predictable and easier to control

Answer: Fat transfer Dear Mmm588258, fat transfer breast augmentation is a viable alternative for women who desire larger breasts without the use of implants. Fat transfer is also widely used in reconstruction of the breast after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. It can also be very effective in correcting the size and shape of the breasts due to genetic problems such as tuberous breast or Poland Syndrome, two conditions that look like misshapen or underdeveloped breasts.In addition, the following scenarios are also reason to consider breast fat grafting:• If you have chest areas that appear creased and sunken• If you desire more permanent correction than is provided by temporary fillers• If you wish to improve your body contour, revise scars, fill bodily depressions and rejuvenate the natural curve of your breasts• To fill in contour irregularities or hide obvious signs of breast implantsYou should discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon and make sure your surgeon understands your concerns and your breast augmentation goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
