I am about 10lbs over my ideal weight, which is still considered in the healthy BMI range. My personal ideal & normal weight is 120lbs, and I'm currently 130lbs and 5'3. Should I lose the 10lbs prior to getting lipo/fat harvest & transferred to increase my breast size? OR should I try to maintain the additional weight/fat and lose the 10lbs 3-4months post-procedure?
Answer: Don't Focus on Weight Fat transfer means liposuction will also be performed. The targeted areas for liposuction are those that have excess fat. Once those areas have been treated, you may be perfectly happy with the contours of your body. Weight is irrelevant in persons like yourself. Focus on body contours and body composition.

Answer: Should I be at my ideal weight prior to getting Fat Transfer to my breasts? Hello and thank you for your question. Generally speaking, ideal candidate for liposuction are those patients with their weight within 10-15 pounds of their ideal body weight. An in-person consultation and examination is needed to give you a more definitive advice. You might be ready to have liposuction and fat transfer for breast enhancement. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic

Answer: Fat transfer If you wish to loose weight, please do so before the fat transfer. Even though 10 pounds of weight loss is not a large amount, it still might affect your final results. However, if you do not have much donor fat now, I would recommend considering implants.

Answer: Fat transfer to the breast At 5’3 and 130 lbs, your BMI is 23. If you lose additional weight it may be more difficult to harvest the fat without leaving a contour deformity. I recommend you consider doing the fat transfer at this time. Not all transferred fat survives, but approximately 60% does. Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs or told us your bra size. However, sometimes patients would benefit from a breast lift as well as fat transfer. 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. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Should I be at my ideal weight prior to getting Fat Transfer to my breasts? Breast fat transfer is a great tool to balance breasts, improve symmetry, and gain up to one cup size in volume. In general, 200 cc per breast is typically the upper limit of fat injection recommended by most plastic surgeons. It is not that more cannot be injected; but on average, this has been determined to be the most that can be expected to live during one transfer. Multiple transfers would be required for additional cc's. In general, the abdomen and thighs are preferred donor sites but fat from other areas can be used.
