Breast fat transfer vs. augmentation? (Photo)

Dear djdjdjdjdk,
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.

If you like the appearance of your breast but just want a volume increase, then fat is the way to go. Using an implant will lead to shape issues that will make your lovely breast look odd without a breast lift. Using fat will evenly distribute volume (in the form of your own natural tissue) throughout the breast and look the most natural. You would only need to harvest fat from your hip region and get a marvelous result there too.

Hello @djdjdjdjdk, thank you for your question. Breast fat transfer is a really good option because the fat seeded will stay there for life and you don't have to change implants. If you decide to go the implant route bear in mind that the placement of the implant is what can cause the snoopy boob, not the implant itself . That said, Even if you choose to get implants or fat transfer you will need a lift to rearrange the position of the breast, enhance the shape and projection. I link a video to shed more light.
