Can I fill deflated breasts with fat transfer? (Photo)

Question

Breasts are deflated after nursing but not particularly saggy. Not looking for dramatic enhancement just replacement of some lost volume.

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

fat grafting to breasts is a great procedure for the right person.utilizing your own fat allows you to increase cup size and sculpt the rest of your body in areas you would choose to lose.the main difference is that fat survival varies and it may require more than one procedure to achieve your goals.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Hello, and thank you for this question. Yes fat can be an excellent choice for the right patients. I would recommend a detailed consultation, physical examination with a qualified board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss all of your options. It may be difficult to harvest fat if your extremely thin.

Kyle Song, MD · Answer

Fat is an excellent filler for deflated tissues.  It is soft, permanent, and natural.  The only downside is the amount of augmentation you can expect.  Generally, it is only a modest change with a 1/2 to 1 full cup size increase in size.  If this is what you're looking for, then it may be a great option for you.

Kevin Tehrani, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. Breast augmentation using Autologous or your own fat is a particularly good option for patients who do not want a dramatic increase in volume.  You can expect generally to have a one cup size increase permanently after the procedure.

Scott C. Sattler, MD, FACS · Answer

I don't think that fat transfer is as reliable as breast implants for augmentation. I prefer breast implants for a more reliable and cost-effective breast augmentation method.
