I am wondering if I could just get fat grafting to restore upper pole volume to my breast.
Answer: Expectations Matter Thanks for the question and photos.Yes a fat transfer can be done.But I think the more important question is what are you expecting from the procedure?Your excellent photos show that you are missing fullness in the upper pole of your breast. However, they also show drooping (ptosis), lower pole looseness, asymmetry and low position of the areola. While fat grafting may add volume to the upper pole, it won’t address those other issues and may give you an unbalanced look.Here are a few thoughts:1) Get several opinions from experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeons so that you can review your options and see which, if any, meet your expectations.2) Consider a breast lift to raise the areola, tighten the lower pole of the breast, add upper pole volume and fix the asymmetry.3) If your surgeon has computerized 3D simulation, he/she might be able to give you an idea what different procedures might look like on your body. This might help you make a more informed decision.Good Luck!

Answer: Fat No, since you have large and heavy breasts, they are sagging from the weight. If you add more fat, which is more weight, you will still sag. You need a reduction which includes a lift. with just a lift, you will sag again from the heavy weight.

Answer: Fat grafting? Given the degree of ptosis (breast droop) that you have fat grafting will likely worsen the issue as it will add more weight to a breast that cannot support itself already. If you were to consider anything to improve your breast shape I would recommend considering a breast lift. This can be discussed at a consultation with a Plastic Surgeon that specialises in cosmetic breast surgery, all the best.
