Can you save the fat after lipo and use it later for another procedure? Want to use that fat to go up a cup size 6 wks after.

Thank you for your question. The answer is no, you can't save the fat to use it later for another procedure. The fat will have to be used during the same surgery. That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  A key quality indicator is Board Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.  Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Hello Elizabeth209, 
I appreciate your questions! Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be feasible to save the rendered fat to be used in latter procedures after Liposuction. Moreover, breast augmentation with fat transfer is still in the experimental stage, and it’s currently not recommended by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Therefore, I would recommend you having a breast augmentation with implants procedure instead, 3-6 months after you’ve fully recovered from Liposuction, to enhance your breasts’ shape, size and appearance. An experienced plastic surgeon would need to evaluate you in person to assess your candidacy for liposuction and breast implants surgery at the moment. Best regards! Dr. De La Cruz.
