Do my mid-back or inner thighs seem like viable harvest locations for a breast fat transfer? (Photo)

Unfortunately, you have not told us your bra size. A half cup of fat is usually 50 cc if you are size 32 or 34 or 100 cc if you are size 36 or 38. It is difficult to tell from your pinching in the photographs but you may not have enough fat on your back. Sometimes the anterior thighs are used. Also, the breast lift technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.

It’s great that you have lost that weight. It appears you would have adequate resources for fat transfer to the breast if you want. I am
Not a fan of the procedure however. I have never seen a result in photos or in person that I thought were any good. I have seen the problems mainly lumpiness.

Dear aes001,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would be a good candidate for fat transfer. Back, abdomen, thighs are great donor sites. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

An examination is need to be sure, but in the back area, excess skin is present. You may have a better option with your flanks and outer thighs.

I typically view the torso as a single anatomic unit and treat the entire torso. That is probably necessary to harvest enough fat for a proper fat transfer procedure. I avoid spot treating the torso in order to leave people with a natural even thin fat distribution.

Each plastic surgeon will have their own philosophy and ways of doing this procedure.

I suggest having multiple in person consultations at which time you can get an assessment and a better understanding of what can and cannot be achieved.

I suggest working with a plastic surgeon to come up with a treatment plan.

Best,
