If you are an A cup and want to go up to a C or D cup through a fat transfer, do you need to pay for two surgeries to achieve the results wanted? Or does the surgery get divided in two and you pay once, where they put the maximum amount of fat each time to get the desired volume?

Answer: Fat transfers If you are size 32 or 34, each 100 cc is one cup size change. If you are size 36 or 38, each 200 cc is one cup size change. For example, if you are size 32 then you would need 150 cc to change one cup size because not all the fat survives. To go from an A to a C would require a total amount of 300 cc of fat, at a minimum. However, it is very difficult to place that much fat in one setting. Often times you will need 2-3 sessions. You also need a duration of time between the surgeries rather than doing them in rapid sequence. The price of procedures are usually are usually based on time and would have to pay each time.

Answer: Paying twice for fat transfer Thank you for your question. In general that really depends on how the consult and quote is structured. Going from an A cup to a C/D cup is a significant increase and would not be able to be accomplished in a single surgery. As such at least two procedures will be required. This would have to be discussed with your surgeon as to how they would charge you for the procedure. But generally, cosmetic surgical procedures are charged by time, so if you’re having two surgeries, that would be around double the cost of a single procedure. Whether the surgeon charges you for both procedures at the same time upfront, or for each individual surgery, it’s up to whatever you and the surgeon agree on.
