Can I have a fat transfer for tuberous breasts?

Question

I am 21 with tuberous breasts. Just wondering if I can use fat transfer with breast correction?

Lawrence Iteld, MD · Answer

Fat grafting is a very good options for moderate augmentation in patients with tuberous breasts since unlike implants, fat can be selectively placed to different quadrants of the breast to balance areas of deficiency.

Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another.  See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for a Breast Augmentation.  Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon.

Hi and thank you for your question and picture.  The answer to your question is it depends on your goals and wishes for end result. Fat transfer is a great option to provide a small to modest increase in cup size and breast volume without an implant.  Fat transfer, however, will not correct the shape of your breasts. You would need a breast lift to improve the overall breast shape and nipple size and position.  These procedures can indeed be combined into one operation.  Best of luck!

If you are comfortable with about a one cup size increase, fat transfer would be reasonable. I usually transfer 200 cc or more per breast.A small breast lift can raise the areolar height as well, if indicated.  The areolae can be relocated more medially with this technique as well.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Hello;Fat transfer could be used to augment specific quadrants of the breasts in tuberous breasts. Inherently multiple sessions maybe necessary depending on the amount of fat graft take. In your case , mastopexies would also be necessary to lift your areolas and further shape your breasts.An in person evaluation would be necessary for a more comprehensive treatment planing.Thank you

the use of fat grafting would be better option in your cases to correct the asymmetry, the breast size and cleavage. You will need to have breast lift to lift the nipple and make them smaller. The link shows lift and fat.
