I've always been self conscious about my breast shape. They developed with very little volume and after losing 20 pounds they got even worse. I really don't want implants, they seem like too much maintenance and honestly scare me. I have already come to terms with the fact I may have to do multiple grafts to get where I want, but with what I'm starting out with is this a good option? And to clarify I don't want my breast larger just fuller.

Answer: Breast Fat Transfer Bab. I appreciate your dilemma. You do have options, both with pros and cons. Implants have a solid and reliable history with very high patient satisfaction rates but they must be replaced every 12-15 years. Fat grafting has the advantage of using your own body's material to increase breast size, but only small augmentation is possible and it is just gaining popularity and long term results are not yet available. There is always uncertainty about how much fat will "take", increasing the possibility of asymmetry and need for revision. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to help you navigate this decision. Good luck!

Answer: 5 ft 8 in 140lbs and 34C: Is breast fat grafting a good option for me? (Photos) It is reasonable, but realize that you cannot get more than about a 3/4 cup increase with fat grafting.
