One doc recommended saline implants, one doctor recommended fat transfer to breast. I just want them even and not too large
Answer: Better Balance The great thing about plastic surgery is that there is not just one right answer. With an experienced provider, it is possible for you to do either. My preference is saline implants, as you can adjust the volume on each side and be more precise. Using an incision around the areola, you can also correct the areola height and size differences as well. While fat transfer is also possible, it is often the case that repeat procedures are needed to get the right number of fat cells to survive to create the symmetry you seek. Good luck!

I would recommend to schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Dr. Moises Salama, board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: implants or fat transfer? Breast implants are more reliable than fat transfers when trying to achieve a specific volume. As your goals are to improve symmetry, I would favor implants.

Answer: Implants or Fat Transfer I highly recommend using implants as the volume retention is far more predictable than fat grafting. Depending on the technique, quality of fat, and your own body...anywhere from only 30-60% will survive. This can create problems with predictable volume and outcomes. You may need a lift on the right side as it is larger and much lower than the left side. You should see a board-eligible or board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive training in aesthetic plastic surgery of the breast.

Answer: Asymmetry You will have a more predictable outcome from an implant. This will address volume discrepancies. With fat grafting there is a degree of uncertainty as to the amount of fat that will "take". It appears you may need a lift to address to make the nipples even.
