I Have Sickle Cell Disease and Want a Breast Augmentation by Fat Transfer

July 6, 2011
Asked By:O-Town Cutie in Orlando, FL

I'm a thin lady with flabby stomach and breasts due to having two kids. I also have Sickle Cell Disease, so with my hematologist's okay (which I did get), will it be hard to find a certified plastic surgeon who's willing to perform my breast augmentation? If not, is it safer to get implants or get fat transferred from another part of my body into my breasts(I believe there's a term for that procedure!) Also, what is the cost difference between the two procedures? Thanks in advance for responding!
