The density of the breast tissue will have some effect on the results of fat transfer. Remember though that the muscle, the subcutaneous tissue, and intervening stromal tissue can all be injected.
It is unknown whether density of breast tissue will affect success of fat transfer. theoretically denser tissue has better blood supply which may improve the take of the fat but this would be hard to prove one way or another.

Fat transfer is also widely used in reconstruction of the breast after a mastectomy or lumpectomy.
