I am about 5 ft 8 in, weight about 130 lbs, and have an A cup breast size. Would it be possible to get a natural breast augmentation?
Answer: Fat Transfer Ideal for Thin Patients Yes, skinny patients are the best candidates for breast augmentation via fat transfer. At MBC, we use the “palm measure” to estimate the area and the amount of fat to harvest. Using this method, out of a “palm measure” (the average size of male surgeon’s palm) a thin layer of fat can be harvested out of a large surface area, such as a thigh. Even in thin and petite women, we have easily obtain 200-300 mL out of one portion of the thigh. We recommend patients not to gain weight prior to the procedure, since it is preferable to harvest and transfer smaller fat cells. These smaller fat cells are consistent in size and result in a long lasting breast augmentation. The volume of fat cells does not increase with weight gain, the fat calls become larger oil bags. In a thinner patient, there are more fat cells in the same amount of fat than a heavier woman, resulting in a more stable breast augmentation.

Answer: Fat transfer to the breasts While some surgeons cling onto the notion that this is a worthwhile procedure, the results I gave seen both in the literature and personally have convinced me that it is a waste of time and money. Brest implants are much more reliable.

Answer: Natural Breast Augmentation The typical increase in size is 1/2 cup to 1 cup. In your case it will likely be closer 1/2 if you are truly small and the skin isn't that lax. The best approach to receiving a valid opinion is an in-person consult.

Answer: Fat Transfer to the Breasts Hello,You would have to be evaluated to see how much 'donor fat' is available. It seems though that your goal would have to be very subtle - one half to one cup size - based on your height and weight.Best of luck!
