Would I be able to get this look with implants? (Photo)

Question

Hello! I’ve been going back and forth between implants and fat transfer to the breasts. Attached is my wish pic. I was wondering if her breasts appeared natural or were implants. If the look I like is implants then I obviously wouldn’t want to waste the time getting a fat transfer. Thank you so much!!

Donovan Rosas, MD · Answer

Implants represent the most reliable way to add volume to the breast.

While fat transfer is an alternative, it is better suited for small contour corrections or in conjunction with an implant to "augment" the augmentation.

With regards to your specific question, while it is impossible to say for certain, my educated guess would favor implants.

As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

helo, the picture that you attach here it's a result of breast implants, this is not a natural breast.

Dear tastykakequeen,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. 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.

Breast augmentation and fat transfer to the breast result in completely different appearances. Firstly, I recommend fat injection to the breast without an implant only for patients who already have a firm breast texture. Fat is used to add volume, not support. If breast tissue is not firm, the best way would be to go for a premium implant, as implant offers support as well as volume. I sometimes combine fat injection for the sternum area so that the implant looks more natural. If you are looking for large breasts, implant would be the best option, and depending on your anatomy, I may recommend combination with fat transfer.

There is no accurate way to say whether the woman in your wish pic has unaugmented breasts or not without knowing more about her.

If you’d like to achieve a similar result, the most suitable technique depends on the shape and size of your current breasts.

Ted Eisenberg, DO, FACOS, FAACS · Answer

I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them.

First, you don't provide photos of yourself, the starting point for any potential operation. Second, your goal photos are of a women with breast implants. So, regardless of the first point, the answer is you will not get these results. If that's what you want, get implants. It's time to call BII (now SSBI) for what it almost certainly is: Gaslighting. We've got nearly 120 years of science behind silicone containing products, which number in the thousands, many of which, along with military, industrial, and food, are placed inside the human body: testicular implants (since the 1940's), facial implants, hand and wrist joint implants, spine implants, cardiac and brain implants. Why is that only breast implants cause illness? Because it doesn't. What started as a feminist movement in the 1960's has become a huge money making industry in 'detoxing' from breast implants. As for reliability, the last far past a decade and when ruptured can be detected easily and quickly in the surgeon's office with office based high resolution ultrasound (HRUS). Go get your implants.

Fat transfer is okay for small amounts of volume. If you want larger breasts as your photo shows you would need implants

Finny George, MD · Answer

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. These results are more attainable with implants but it depends on your starting breast shape, volume and projection. Without a current photo it’s hard to say, however, implants are more likely to give you a stable and predictable results. Fat can be added in small volumes to correct minor differences.

Leland Deane, MD, FACS · Answer

The short answer is 'yes'. Having said that however, an in-person consult is important to assess your tissue characteristics, as well as expectations relative to having a great result with no complications. Just remember: size is important but shape is even more important.
Hope this helps.
