Can you liposuction your fat areas and put it in your breast?

Question

I know that's possible to do with the butt and hip region. But can you do the same to your breasts?

Thank you for your question, Yes, fat can be liposuctioned from other areas of your body and transferred into your boobs. Fat Transfer to the Breast is a common surgery. 
Best Of Luck!

Yes, fat can be grafted to your 
breasts.  I typically reserve this for very small augmentations, 
particularly in women who have failed breast implants or who have been 
reconstructed.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for the question. Liposuction from different areas of the body and transferring the fat into the breasts can be done safely. It usually increases the breast size by one cup. A small percentage of the fat gets resorbed by the body. This can be done under local or IV sedation depending on the areas suctioned. Best of luck....

Yes, fat can be liposuctioned from your body and then transferred to your breasts. In my practice, I will use the BRAVA (external suction cup) to help expand the breast prior to fat grafting. However, only a modest increase in cup size should be expected. If you are looking for a significant increase in breast size, implants are the most reliable way to achieve this.

This is the procedure of the moment but there are risks such as fat abscesses, failure of the fat to "take" equally on both sides, etc.  I think that proponents frequently tell patients what they want to hear and don't discuss the potential negatives (I can say that honestly because I see too many patients in consultation who have gone elsewhere and report that they hear the risks for the first time in my office).  I do not think that the scientific data we have at this point is sufficiently compelling for me to offer this procedure and would encourage you to wait until the American Board of Plastic Surgery announces its seal of approval.

Yes, you can have liposuction and  transfer fat to your breast. If you have enough fat to harvest, you may be able to increase breasts by one cup size. Please remember that fat transplants are unpredictable, you need to have enough fat, and as as much as 30% or as little as 3% of the fat cells may survive. Issues with future mammograms are uncertain. IV sedation and an outpatient surgery center are required. The cost for fat transplants to the breast or breast implants are similar to breast implants except for the additional cost of the implants. In my NJ practice, the total fee of fat transplants is $4100 including the professional, anesthesia, and facility fees. Saline implants cost $1000 more and silicone implants cost $2000 more.
