I am researching lipo fat transfer to breasts. I'm assuming I cant necessarily decide where I want the fat to go? It kind of goes where it wants? I ask because I'm looking for a lift and more full towards the middle/cleavage look. I feel I am too busty/full on the sides. I really don't want to have anything like silicone in my body so I'm not sure the best way to go about getting the look I want.

Answer: Question re: fat graft placement During your consultation your surgeon should be discussing your goals with you and giving some options for how to achieve them. I think your preferences should always be considered, but a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon will also balance the safety and efficacy of the placement/procedure with your preferences. It sounds like you may be a good candidate for something like a breast lift or mastopexy to achieve your goals, perhaps in combination with fat grafting.

Answer: Breast Lift with fat grafting to the breasts This is an excellent question. When undergoing a fat transfer to the breast, the areas to be filled with fat is decided before surgery. Typically, it is the upper part of the chest and the middle/cleavage area. The area of where to get the fat from (through liposuction) is also decided before surgery. This can be anywhere on the body that there is extra fat available to harvest, and is typically in the abdomen and waist area. This fat transfer can be done at the same time as a breast lift and will give natural results without using implants. Hope this helps!

Answer: Tailoring the Breasts with Fat Transfer You can definitely dictate where you want the fat to be transferred. The fat is not placed into one space like an implant. Fat is carefully placed in the areas that are deficient in volume and where the patient would like to have more volume. Almost every patient desires more volume in the cleavage area so that it's a totally reasonable request on your part. You can discuss all of these details during the consultation.
