As part of a mommy-makeover 8 yrs ago exchanged 300cc implants for 140, no lift needed. I now plan to explant (no replacement) & lift. Want perkiest breasts possible but don’t know how much breast tissue is left (A cup before 1st implant at 19yo). Will concurrent fat transfer result in suboptimal lift results like widening vertical scar or later sagging, since not all the fat injected during surgery is retained? Should I do 2 separate procedures for best lift results? 45yo 5’0” 113#s 32C cup
Answer: Breast Lift and Fat grafts Fat grafting simultaneous to a breast lift is not advisable. The dissection of tissue required to lift the breast would expose fat grafts, allowing them to congregate inside the spaces formed by surgery leading to loss of graft material.

Answer: Fat If you have any donor fat, it can be transferred, but not at the same time as the lift for best viability. I recommend doing the explant and lift first. Six months later, you can add fat.

Answer: Bellesoma Method The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Answer: Simultaneous Implant Exchange with Fat, with lift This is a great question. Starting with A cup before your initial implantation surgery will mean that after your explantation of your breast implants, your breasts will lose volume and drop a little more. In order to lift the breast, you will need to have a breast lift (mastopexy) to bring the nipple position higher. To add volume, fat can be transferred to the breast, however only a modest improvement in size and projection will be achieved in one stage. More volume can be added is subsequent stages with more fat, but may not achieve the perkiest breasts like you desire.
