How long is ideal time to know the results from fat transfer to breasts? My husband is traveling on business for 3 weeks and I'm planning to surprise him with a new me. Would 3 weeks be enough time to conclude that all the dead fat is gone and the shape is final? Also, would it be safe to participate in sex (which might include squeezing) or should breasts not be manipulated for a certain period? I'd like to plan my surgery date based on this as I would not like to disappoint him on our anniversary.

Answer: Breast Fat Transfer/ Breast Augmentation/Breast Implants/Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants/ Silicone Implants/Breast Implant Revision I appreciate your question I perform a natural breast augmentation with fat. This can be removed from any unwanted areas including the breast itself as part of my lipo-lift procedure. I perform the fat grafting in multiple planes including under the muscle to give the best, most natural enhancement. Fat grafting is a great solution for someone who wants to bring their breast size up a cup or so and use natural tissue vs an implant. However, it can also be combined with an implant or used as a secondary procedure to fill in areas that are flat or thin. It does not affect mammograms or breast feeding. It can be a little lump or hard at first but tends to soften over time. About 60-70% of the grafted fat survives. At 6 months you will have a good idea of your results. Some women have a second or third procedure which continues to increase your volume safely. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic breast plastic surgery. Best of luck! Dr. Schwartz Board Certified Plastic Surgeon #RealSelf100Surgeon #RealSelfCORESurgeon

Answer: How long until you know the final results of fat transfer to the breasts??? Thanks for this question. I usually tell my patients that at three to six months after surgery what you have is what will stay with you. That gives a bit of extra time, but they can be sure the fat is staying at that point!! Another thing that should be stressed is that although you can be intimate with your partner, the breasts should not be manipulated for 3 months after surgery. This is very important for the fat survival. Choose a board certified plastic surgeon who has much experience with performing this procedure. Best of luck in your search.
