I’ve been interested in a mommy makeover for sometime. I do not want breast implants as I really just want fullness not to increase breast size and do not want anything foreign in my body. I am interested in fat transfer to the breast. I believe I would have enough fat to harvest. My question is: why are there so many conflicting articles on whether or not this procedure is safe and it’s implications on mammogram results? I had to be screened for several years because I had breast cysts.
Answer: Fat Transfer to the Breasts I perform this procedure a lot with many years experience. When performed gently and meticulously and in the correct areas of the breast it is a very low risk procedure with a high Satisfaction. In my opinion, even though breast implants are widely popular and safe, breast implants have a much higher risk for complications and reoperations compared to fat Transfer to the Breasts.

Answer: Fat injections breasts You are right - this is a controversial method. If a Doctor suggests you should have fat injections, they should explain to you why this might be a controversial issue, and why in certain cases fat injections could cause alterations within your breast which could look cancerous, making any follow ups very difficult. In your case, it looks as though you have already had complicating factors with the breast cysts which may make fat injections a less suitable option for you.

Answer: Fat transfer to the breast as part of my mommy makeover. Is it safe? Thank you for your question. Fat transfer to the breast has become more popular in the press, but we do not perform this procedure as we do not believe that it has been properly proven as a safe, dependable, and cost effective means of performing breast augmentation. There are also possible side effects that one must consider, including the risk of scarring on a mammogram that can complicate detection of breast cancer. Other side effects are possible infection, fat resorption necessitating more sessions of fat grafting, and possible asymmetry. Implant based breast augmentation, on the other hand, is very safe and predictable with an extremely high patient satisfaction rating in our practice. Fat grafting is best for breast contour irregularities. Very large amounts of fat and possible multiple sessions would be needed to approximate the result of large breast implants for breast augmentation.

Answer: Fat transfer Fat transfer to the breasts can be done as part of the Mommy Makeover procedure. It is a good option for you to consider if you do not want an implant. Breast cancer screening is an important part of your health regimen. The radiologists should be able to read the results from the imaging after a fat transfer. I recommend visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to learn more.

Answer: Fat transfer to the breast is safe Fat transfer to the breast is quite safe if performed with proper technique. Interpretation of mammograms by radiologists is quite good at discerning between transferred fat and breast pathology (cancer). A consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon can tell if you in fact a candidate or not for a fat transfer to the breast. Watch this brief video for more information.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Answer: Fat transfer to breasts Fat transfer is done routinely for breast reconstruction after mastectomy but in select cases can also be done for cosmetic purposes. Generally speaking it is best for filling out contour deformities rather than increasing cup size. It is best to discuss this with your surgeon to see if you were a good candidate.
