Should I consider breast fat transfer? (Photo)

Question

I am a 32 year old female, no children. Always been “athletic” build but always wanted larger breasts. I’ve maxed at 34A/32B. I do not want to be huge chested, I desire a nice, full B. I have never liked the look or feel of breast implants. I’m 5’4” 122lb, more bottom-heavy. Looking for any insight! I’m at the beginning of my research journey

Fat transfer to the breasts can be an effective form of breast augmentation for up to one cup size increase. 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.
Thinner patients are outstanding candidates in my opinion, because the fat transferred is extremely resistant. Results are largely dependent upon the skill of the surgeon, his/her ability to remove fat without creating contour deformities, and your expectations.

Hello, thank you for your question. Fat transfer to breasts is an excellent option for those wanting very subtle results. Viability of fat in the breasts will give an individual about a 1/2 a cup size in volume. If this something you would want then speak to your plastic surgeon about your options. Consider finding wish pics of what you would like to look like with a person who has a similar frame.

Dear Practical305911,
fat transfer breast augmentation is a viable alternative for women who desire larger breasts without the use of implants. Fat transfer is also widely used in reconstruction of the breast after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. It can also be very effective in correcting the size and shape of the breasts due to genetic problems such as tuberous breast or Poland Syndrome, two conditions that look like misshapen or underdeveloped breasts.In addition, the following scenarios are also reason to consider breast fat grafting:• If you have chest areas that appear creased and sunken• If you desire more permanent correction than is provided by temporary fillers• If you wish to improve your body contour, revise scars, fill bodily depressions and rejuvenate the natural curve of your breasts• To fill in contour irregularities or hide obvious signs of breast implantsYou should discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon and make sure your surgeon understands your concerns and your breast augmentation goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
