How long does fat grafting to the breast last & is it ever lumpy?

January 15, 2019
Asked By:jelllyb in San Francisco, California

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!
