When transferring fat for breast fat transfer, is it possible to have is removed similar to this photo on the thighs? I was thinking of having liposuction on my thighs/saddlebags and breast implants, but I do not want big breasts. I'm an a cup with slight asymmetry so I want to correct this and maybe be a b cup. Would the fat transfer be able to do both of this?

Answer: Fat transfer Dear bambi100, 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.

Answer: Fat transfer to breasts Thank you for your question. It is difficult to say without an in-person examination. However, it is possible to perform “autologous fat transfer” whereby fat is removed from one part of the body (such as the saddlebags or thighs) via liposuction and transfer that fat to the breasts through small incisions. This procedure works well for patients who have slight breast asymmetry and/or want to be a little fuller/larger. I perform this procedure in my fully-accredited operation room under IV sedation administered by board-certified anesthesiologists as an outpatient procedure. I recommend you meet with a fully-trained plastic surgeon to discuss your options and determine if this is the best procedure for you.
