Would a second fat transfer help with upper pole fullness?

Question

I am 5'2" and have had a few lifts and in 2021 had a revision and fat transfer after bottoming out. I dont think my tissue would support implants, but im not sure if anothet fat transfer would help with upper poll fullness?

Dear Magical 195215,
I would love to know exactly what the few lifts were and what techniques were used as this will set the road map for what needs to be done moving forward. We have developed a procedure called the Naturabra that transfers your own breast tissue to the upper pole of the breast and obviates the need for implants while supporting it internally in a re-operative scenario. We also use fat grafts for support and symmetry of the upper and medial (cleavage) poles but would really need to see your photos to see if you would benefit from that procedure.

Hello. Thanks for posting your query.In my opinion second fat transfer will surely help in increasing fullness in upper pole of breast. Better to visit your surgeon and get an opinion for any further surgery. Hope i have cleared your doubt.

Hello, thank you for your question. Yes in short fat transfer would help provide slightly more fullness to the area it is transferred too. Keep in mind that it is not a replacement for a high profile breast implant. Fat transfers to breasts given you a more subtle appearance of fullness and can fluctuate with your own weight gain and weight loss. Alternatively they are not heavy as an implant would be. I would bring in wish pics to your plastic surgeon to see if those results can be achieved.

I would ask you how well the first transfer worked. If you think it was worth while then it may be worth a second time. You can basically expect a comparable result from a second fat grafting that you got from the first in terms of fat retention

Dear Magical195215,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
