I am interested in a mommy makeover and have discussed it with my husband. He is VERY against any kind of implant because he thinks they will feel weird and does not like the look of them. Judging from how heated the discussions have been, he will not be "coming around" or changing his mind. I have heard of fat grafting being used. Is this common and effective? Are there any other alternatives?
Answer: Breast augment options Hello,I'm sure your husband is not alone in his thinking, however most people report that silicone cohesive gel implants feel VERY close to the real thing and many people cannot tell the difference. They are typically less palpable, less prone to rippling and have better movement and feel than Saline. Fat grafting for breasts has limitations in the small size increase and multiple treatments possibly required. Only about 2/3 of the fat injected can be expected to remain.There are risks and considerations for fat grafting as with all surgery. I recommend that you book a consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who specialises in both methods and compare each. Try on silicone sizers in the office to get an idea of the look and feel. Ultimately, I hope you will choose what you are most comfortable with. All the best

Answer: Alternatives to breast implants very limited Many people assume that implants always look fake but it is only the ones that are obvious that get noticed; most implants look and feel natural and it is likely that you have friends that have them but you would never guess. The only realistic alternative to implants is fat grafting, which is less predictable, often requires more than one session, and provides a comparatively smaller amount of volume.

Answer: Autologous breast augmentation Flaps from your tummy can be used for breast augmentation or free fat grafting. However neither are as reliable or efficient as breast implants. Saline implants are very doable through a tummy tuck incision. No incisions need be made on your breast itself. Fat grafting can increase the breast size a half to one cup size. An implant is more predictable in te4rms of shape and size of the new breast and can increase breast size by two cup sizes. Good luck...

Answer: Fat grafting Fat grafting can be used for breast augmentation. It will require you to have fat to donate from another area on your body and you may need multiple fat transfers to achieve your desired results.

Answer: Fat Grafting? Fat grafting is still in its infancy. I doubt you will get a meaningful change with fat, assuming you have enough to harvest. Has your husband felt silicone implants? He may have a skewed perception of what is out there! I feel like most women (and their husbands) and very happy from silicone implants! Take your husband with you to consult with a BCPS and that should help!
