Will I be able to achieve more volume without complications adding fat around my 7 year old implants? And will it leave scar? Am I a good candidate for fat transfer around my implants? Is this procedure safe? Any recommendations on who can do fat transfer to my implants? I want more volume slightly bigger on the sides. And the top.
Answer: Larger implants vs fat transfer Larger implants would give increase volume more predictability. Also consider anchoring the fold to raise the implants. In my experience, fat transfer to breasts can add to areas over implants nicely, provided you have adequate fat to harvest via liposuction. Most of the fat stays, have to be cautious not to damage the implants. An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations.

Answer: Surgery First, your implants are bottoming out and this needs to be corrected. Once raised, you may find you have plenty of upper fullness, or fat could be added.

Answer: Fat transfer Dear evangeline jamie, based on your photos, it looks like fat transfer would be an option to add volume at the top of breasts. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Revision In your case, your implants are bottoming out and the implants are wider than your chest wall. They will continue to descend and fat transfer will not be able to compensate for the abnormalities you are developing. I recommend capsule plication. At that time, the implants are removed, the capsules are reinforced inferiorly and laterally and dissected more centrally to reposition the implants. At the same time, fat transfers can be done. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
