Possible to have 25-50 Cc of fat transferred to each breast under local anesthesia? Have silicone dual plane implants.

Yes it is possible to graft fat over top of the placed implant. Usually this is best done after complete healing has been achieved from previous procedures. I would recommend waiting at minimum 6-9 months post augmentation before having the discussion about fat grafting with your surgeon. Fat grafting under local anesthesia is easy and one done under local anesthesia avoids the cost of sedation or general anesthesia. The cost of this procedure varies by region and from surgeon to surgeon depending on your individual treatment plan.

Hello.Thanks for posting your query.It is possible to undergo fat transfer after breast implant to correct minor assymetries or increase fullness. However the amount of fat required will vary with patients.We are doing all cases of breast fat transfer usually under general anaesthesia. Hope I have cleared your doubt. Best wishes!

It is possible to do fat transfers in small volumes. However, since you have implants in place, it is possible that you may injury the implants. More information is needed to give a more accurate answer.

The addition of 200cc to the chest of a thin woman makes a significant effect while the same 200cc added to the chest of a larger lady is barely noticeable. You would probably need 100cc to each breast to reap 50cc as 50% of the fat may not survive. It is usually done under a general anesthetic. But sometimes it may be done with a local anesthetic to numb the area.

Dear PoppySun,
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 your surgeon does fat transfers under local anesthesia, then yes, it can be done. Your surgeon will discuss the price with you since fat transfers are priced not on the volume transferred specifically, but more on the equipment and time needed for the transfer.
