I am very interested in fat grafting for breasts, but I am quite thin so that's probably not an option... I only want to go up one cup size. And i absolutely do not want implants. I heard stem cells may be used with fat grafting? Is this true / how effective is it / is it safe? I'm also open to other ideas... Just not implants. (I know, that may be my only option.. if it is I'll just have to get comfortable with my c cups :-/

Answer: Fat grafting to the breasts Even in certain thin patients fat grafting may be an option. This is due to the fact that although much fat may not be available in the areas of the abdomen and waist, enough fat is still present in the thighs. It is best to be evaluated in person by a plastic surgeon experienced in fat grafting procedures before succumbing to the idea of having fat grafted to the breast. It is best to be seen by a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in cosmetic breast procedures. Also visiting the surgeon's website to see the before and after galleries will help you perhaps see some women similar in body habitus to you. Your consultation should include a detailed discussion about your goals and wishes to help decide if this is the best option for you. It sounds as though only a small to modest increase in size is your desired goal. If so, this may be still be an option. Best wishes,Dr Ravi Somayazula

Answer: Dr Kayser Thank you for your question. Although you would likely be very limited in the amount of volume you could achieve with fat transfer, it is not impossible that this still could be an option. There are many variables that are associated with fat transfer and it would be important to determine whether or not this would be a viable option for you. Considering the size that you are interested in, this again may be an option. I would certainly discuss this with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in these matters. Please feel free to view the many videos on my site regarding fat transfer. I hope this helps and have a wonderful day. Dr. Kayser - Detroit
