I want an augmentation, but not implants. I read some people believe it's a permanent procedure, while other believe all the fat eventually dissolves.
Answer: Fat Grafting for #NaturalBreastLift As a general rule, surgeons with extensive experience in grafting large volumes of fat are most likely to obtain the best results. We believe fat transfer should only be performed by surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery that have experience in fat grafting. Few plastic surgeons have this experience. This ensures that your surgeon has advanced knowledge and technical familiarity, but also the subtle anatomy and aesthetics of breast augmentation.About 60% we remain permanently and second procedures may be needed

Answer: Is fat tot he breast permanent HI Ariel, Fat injections to the breast dissolve to some extent in all cases. The amount that dissolves is variable , however. It can even differ between the two breasts which could pose a rather difficult aesthetic problem.There is no way to predict how much will disappear. These are definite issues to discuss with your surgeon. You may need to have further fat injections and potential expenses should be explained to you so that you havean idea of what you may need to pay in the future.Hope this helps,Best,Dr. Christine Rodgers

Answer: Fat transfer to the breast: is it permanent? The simple answer is yes it is permanent. The more complex answer is this: after your procedure there will be some fat that does not survive and your body will resorb it. Over the first couple months in addition to that there will be some loss of volume from swelling resolution. However, at around three months, whatever fat you have is likely permanent. It responds like fat does anywhere...you put on weight, the volume increases. You lose weight, the volume decreases.Dr Rodger ShorttOakville Plastic SurgeonAssistant Clinical Professor & Director of Cosmetic Surgery Training,McMaster University

Answer: Permanent Fat transfers may not be permanent, especially if you loose weight in the future. Some fat may be slowly absorbed over time. Certain areas, like hands, will absorb more fat over time due to movement.

Answer: Is fat transfer to the breast permanent The fat that remains after the initial resorption should remain there permanently. Like other fat cells in your body or breast, there may be changes with age. However, it is not a "temporary" event. An in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to assess your needs and provide true medical advice. Best of luck. Dr. Michael Omidi
