I’ve heard that fat isn’t very predictable (for facial fillers) & was wondering if that was also the case if it were used for breast augmentation. I’m hesitant to go with an implant & prefer something more natural looking. I’m also worried about maintenance when I become much older as I’m guessing elderly patients would most likely not be doing this or able to do this (just thinking ahead as I watch my mom with dementia in her care facility). Thanks!

Answer: Fat transfer Dear jelllyb,Fat transfer breast augmentation is a viable alternative for women who desire larger breasts without the use of implants. Fat transfer is also widely used in reconstruction of the breast after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. It can also be very effective in correcting the size and shape of the breasts due to genetic problems such as tuberous breast or Poland Syndrome, two conditions that look like misshapen or underdeveloped breasts.In addition, the following scenarios are also reason to consider breast fat grafting:• If you have chest areas that appear creased and sunken• If you desire more permanent correction than is provided by temporary fillers• If you wish to improve your body contour, revise scars, fill bodily depressions and rejuvenate the natural curve of your breasts• To fill in contour irregularities or hide obvious signs of breast implantsYou should discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon and make sure your surgeon understands your concerns and your breast augmentation goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD
