Fat transfer to breast. How many ccs can be placed in each breast?

A person’s own fat may be used to improve the appearance of his or her body by moving it from an area of excess (or where it is less desired, such as the thighs, hips or abdomen) to an area that has lost tissue volume due to aging, trauma, surgery, certain diseases, birth defects, or other causes.Ideal candidates are in good health, and have excess fat in some parts of the body and too little in other regions. Fat grafting is most often used for the face, breasts and buttocks. Typically, the transferred fat results in a significant increase in volume of the body site being treated.Fat for lipoinjection, also called fat transfer, is removed from unwanted areas of the body by a narrow blunt tip surgical instrument with side holes, called a cannula, through a small incision. The fat is then cleaned with sterile saline solution before being restored to the body. The fat is then injected into the desired area using either a smaller cannula or needle, or it may be placed directly through an incision. Since some of the fat that is transferred does not remain over time, your surgeon may inject more than is ultimately needed to achieve the desired end result. Over a few weeks, the amount of transferred fat will decrease.There is a limit of how much fat can be safely injected into one area. The amount of fat that remains over time is variable from patient to patient. For some patients, more fat or other fillers may need to be transferred in a subsequent surgery to maintain or supplement the desired results.Fat transfer to the breast involves a relatively short recovery - just a few weeks.#breastaugmentation#BA#fattransferBA

Hello Dear, thanks for the question, I do not recommend fa transfer to breasts because they're studies stating that, this procedure may cause cancer. Otherwise, I suggest you to get a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine which's the best procedure for you, but in my practice I prefer breast augmentation with silicone implants..

The volume of fat to be transferred is limited by the size of the breasts to begin with and the amount of fat to be harvested.  As a rough idea, even if you have more than enough fat, you could approximately double your breast volume as a maximum in one procedure.  Not all fat survives so you will lose some.  It varies how much that "some" will be.  With meticulous harvesting and placement of fat this number can approach 60-80% at the high end.  The reason not all fat survives is multifactorial, but a significant component is the technique used by different surgeons.  Anyone not willing to take the time to place each fat droplet individually simply will not get the best results possible.  Make sure your surgeon focusses on this technique and does a lot of fat grafting.  Regarding your question of uneven resorption:  it is theoretically possible to be uneven, but each fat cell has more or less the same chance of survival as each other.  There are thousands of fat cells injected.  Statistically speaking the same number more or less will survive on each side.Dr Rodger ShorttPlastic SurgeonOakville, OntarioAssistant Clinical Professor &Director of Cosmetic Surgery Training Program,McMaster University
