I am unhappy with the size of my breast implants. I wish they were bigger. Is it possible to do a fat transfer to achieve more fullness and increase the size?
Answer: A variety of options Hello there, This is a great question! Fat transfer can do wonders for increasing volume with a natural look and feel if you choose an experienced provider. This is an option for you, as well as replacing your implants for a larger size. An in-person consultation would be best to explore the options and what would be best for you and your anatomy. Best, Dr. Tanovic

Answer: Breast augmentation with fat transfer after implants Thank you for your query. You can certainly have further enhancement of your breasts with your own fat after having had breast implants. It does demand a little more care and experience on part of your surgeon in planning and performing the procedure. Please find an experienced Board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns. All the best!

Answer: Breasts If you have minimal breast tissue, exchanging your implants would be best. If you have at least a B cup of tissue prior to implants, then a fat transfer might work. You will also need to have donor fat. What I can see in your photo does not show much extra fat. The implants have stretched and thinned your own tissue, so your surgeon will need to examine you and see how much actual breast tissue is present and if fat transfer is reasonable. Also, with fat, you can expect a half to maybe one cup increase in size. Your size looks very nice now and does fit your frame. Please do not go too large.

Answer: Fat transfer after breast implants We had very good experience with additional shaping and voluminization of breasts after implant augmentation using fat grafts. It is good way to improve fulness in the upper pole and create the cleavege. However, significant augmentation, more than 1/2 cup size, may require 2 stages. Hope this hjelps.

Answer: Fat transfers Yes, fat transfers can be done to increase the size. The fat transfers are usually good for 1 cup size increase. However, there is an added danger of rupturing the implants with the fat transfer, particularly if the implants are pre-pectoral. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
