Breast enlargement with Fat transfer - does it require domes or picco prep?

Question

I am a tall 5 foot 11 woman, athletic build and wide chest weighing 68kg. I am currently a small B size and have breastfed 2 children. I am wanting to use fat transfer to enlarge each breast approx 200ml to a large B size. Can this be done in 1 procedure and do I require using domes or picco prep beforehand. My local surgeon here wants me to wear domes for 225 hours pre operation. Is this standard procedure or overkill?

Dear kiwi mum,

fat transfer breast augmentation is a viable alternative for women who desire larger breasts without the use of implants. Fat transfer is also widely used in reconstruction of the breast after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. It can also be very effective in correcting the size and shape of the breasts due to genetic problems such as tuberous breast or Poland Syndrome, two conditions that look like misshapen or underdeveloped breasts.
In addition, the following scenarios are also reason to consider breast fat grafting:
•	If you have chest areas that appear creased and sunken
•	If you desire more permanent correction than is provided by temporary fillers
•	If you wish to improve your body contour, revise scars, fill bodily depressions and rejuvenate the natural curve of your breasts
•	To fill in contour irregularities or hide obvious signs of breast implants
You should discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon and make sure your surgeon understands your concerns and your breast augmentation goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
