Is fat grafting appropriate for underdeveloped right pectoral muscle? (Photos)

August 9, 2016
Asked By:BryanNB in Huntington Beach, CA

My right pectoral muscle is roughly half the size of the left. I believe it is due to Poland's syndrome. I've looked into pec implants and have ruled them out due to possible implant shifting concerns. I'd like to know if fat grafting would be sufficient to give the left pec the same shape as the right. My main concern is having the same contouring on the lower edge of both pec muscles. Is it possible to shape the fat to create this contouring or is a pec implant necessary for that?
