I’ve had my breast implants for over 14 years and I want them removed (they don’t bother me however I just don’t want anymore surgery down the road I’m over it!) I will be getting a tummy tuck to repair my muscles and liposuction. I will remove my implants and do a lift at the same time and fat transfer to my breast. How many CC’s max can be injected? Prior to surgery I was a full B after my implants I’ve been a DD (Victoria secret bras) what is realistically expected after this a C cup?
Answer: Breast lift with fat transfer, how many CC’s can be injected into the breast? These procedures can be performed at the same time to improve shape and size discrepancies. In general, 200 cc per breast is typically the upper limit of fat injection recommended by most plastic surgeons. It is not that more cannot be injected; but on average, this has been determined to be the most that can be expected to live during one transfer. Multiple transfers would be required for additional cc's. In general, the abdomen and thighs are preferred donor sites but fat from other areas can be used. Some of the retention rate will depend upon the amount of fat transferred, as smaller volumes will likely have a higher survival. Occasionally, a patient can resorb a great deal of the fat despite optimal transfer procedures. I typically transfer from 250 cc to 400 cc or so per breast. Thinner patients are outstanding candidates in my opinion, because the fat transferred is extremely resistant. Results are largely dependent upon the skill of the surgeon, his/her ability to remove fat without creating contour deformities, and your expectations. You would need a consultation with a board certified PS to determine your available fat stores.

Answer: Fat With fat, you can expect one half up to one cup in size unless you have very little breast tissue. Fat is inserted into actual breast tissue. You may be a B to small B now with no implants since the implants did stretch and thin your own tissue. With fat, you may be a full B to small C. However, your surgeon who has examined you will be better at estimating what size you might be.

Answer: Natural Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting / Fat Transfer to Breasts You need a formal evaluation by a licensed plastic surgeon and expert in breast augmentations to determine what is best for you and your goals.Proper breast enlargement is not a "cookie-cutter" procedure where the same technique is applied to every patient. Every woman who comes to my practice has unique needs and different goals for her breast augmentation. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I always listen carefully to each woman's concerns and thoroughly discuss the key points of the procedure. For those women who prefer a "Natural Breast Augmentation" without implants, fat grafting is a safe, natural, and minimally invasive approach that offers low-maintenance, long-term improvement in size and contour. After harvesting the fat from your body, we purify and enrich the fat before injecting it in the desired areas to improve volume and shape. My experience performing thousands of aesthetic breast surgeries in a wide anatomical range of patients enables me to achieve consistently beautiful and natural results that are customized to each patient’s body type and goals. These results are the product of extensive communication, meticulous planning, and skillfully executed surgery. I suggest consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon and expert in Breast Augmentation surgeries. - Dr. Cohen

Answer: Breast lift with fat transfer, how many CC’s can be injected into the breast? Hello and thank you for your question and sharing your photos. Generally speaking, you can expect a cup size increase in your breast volume after fat grafting. There is a certain level of uncertainty in how much of the transferred fat will survive, which makes this procedure somewhat unpredictable. You should discuss your aesthetic goals and concerns with your plastic surgeon. Best, Pejman Aflaki, M.D. Johns Hopkins-trained double board-certified plastic surgeon
