Is breast fat transfer possible with implants?

Having a breast implant does not prevent fat injection. In fact, fat injection is often done together with the implant. We call this hybrid augmentation. You can have it done without any problems in experienced hands.

Hello!
Absolutely! You can get fat grafting to your breasts with implants already in place. It also may depend on the surgeon preference, but most will!

Thanks so much for your questions,

Yes, breast fat transfer is absolutely possible even if you have implants—and it’s actually done quite often! It’s called composite breast augmentation, and it combines implants with fat grafting to enhance results.

Sincerely,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol

Yes, **fat transfer to the breasts** is possible even if you already have breast implants. This procedure can be used to **add volume, improve shape** and even **enhance the contours** around your implants, especially if you’ve experienced some changes in breast tissue or want to add subtle fullness.
However, it's important to keep a few things in mind:
- Fat transfer works best for mild to moderate volume enhancement. If you're looking for a significant increase in size, breast implants are often more effective.
- Your implants should be in a stable position and the surrounding tissue should be healthy enough to accept the transferred fat.- The **amount of fat that survives** after the transfer can vary, and some of the fat may be absorbed by your body over time.
It's important to consult with a surgeon to assess your individual situation and determine if fat transfer will complement your existing implants to achieve your desired results.
