I had breast augmentation revision due to vertical flatness under left breast, like a shelf almost. Much less projection than right breast. So basically I went in to have this fix and now the problem is still there. I also had some fat transfer on that breast to have more fullness in the upper part of the breast. I feel like the implant was unable to fully expand unlike the right breast. So my question is…. Can I have a fat transfer to fill that lower portion of the breast. Thank you

If the steroid dose is not too high, then the fat should live. if you are on a high dose, then postpone the transfer until you can come down or be off that high dose.
Dear SnowLeopard2468,
most surgeons would recommend you to wait until you are fully healed. Every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
