Will fat transfer achieve a large A or small B bust size for me? See photos. I do not want implants again. Post explant, my new chest appearance has significantly hit my confidence. I've also included a photo of my breasts pre-surgery before any implants for reference. Ideally, if I could reach a slightly larger size than that and similar shape, that would be ideal. Thank you!

Answer: Is fat transfer suitable for me post explant? Hi @LuckyGal888, thank you for your question. If you had your implants removed due to health issues then implants are totally out of the question. If there is not a lot of breast tissue you could have a breast fat transfer with an experienced surgeon who can create a surgical plan with you to improve the shape of your breast. Fat transfer can be an excellent option if you don't want huge scars and are looking to add some top volume. It is a minimal scar procedure that involves transferring fat from the body to the breasts, which can provide natural fullness and some shape. If you are considering volume enhancement, consultation with a plastic surgeon experienced in this procedure is essential to ensure optimal results. Best regards. Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Breast fat transfer Hello and thank you for your question! Fat transfer is a great and all natural way to help improve shape, volume and contour of different parts of the body including the breasts. It is important to know that as a living cell, the transferred fat must go through a healing process and it is normal and expected not 100% of the fat transferred will "take". Each patient is different but typically 70-75% is a reasonable fat graft take to expect. That said, we also have to consider the quality and quantity of the "donor" fat. For someone very thin it can be a challenge, but still doable. This just means a surgeon must spend time going to more sites (belly, flanks, back, axillae, thighs, arms, etc) searching for more usable fat. For someone with your BMI, this would be the base, but it may still be possible to have enough to transfer for 1/2 cup or so to each breast. The ultimate recommendation would need to come in an in-person consultation/exam with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck on your journey!
