I am scheduled for smartlipo in december. I will have my stomach and inner thighs done. My doctor explained that I could then transfer the fat removed to my deflated breast. I was wondering if this has a high success rate and what would be a good amount to transfer if I want to increase my size by one cup. I currently am a very active 33yr, I weigh 145 and wear a size 8. My bra size is 34B. thanks
Answer: Combining Fat Transfer with SmartLipo is a really DUMB Idea

For fat transfer to take, the fat has to be alive before, during and after the transfer. If the fat is damaged by the liposuction, damaged while being loaded into syringes or upon injection into the tissues or if it does not get the blood supply once in the tissues and dies - the fat transfer will fail.
SmartLipo works by literally cooking the area between the skin and muscle where the fat, nerves and small blood vessels run with a laser. The laser literally cooks (IE KILLS) the fat cells, including blood vessels and nerves in the area in an attempt to heat the overlying skin and shrink it. Taking this cooked fatty emulsion and injecting into another body area as a fat transfer discloses a shocking shortcoming of basic liposuction basics. The options are that either you did not understand what your doctor was telling you or that the doctor does not know what he is doing.
Do not do it and get a second opinion.
