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

Putting an implant and surgically correcting tuberous breast most likely will not affect lactating ability. If anything, it may decrease it from the scarring around the nipple. The recommendation for MRIs is arbitrary. Both classic and cohesive gels are safe, though cohesive may have a lo...

Congratulations on your surgery. It's still early in the recovery process, so continue to be patient. Here implants will take six months to settle fully. Make sure to follow your doctor's specific instructions for recovery.
Thanks for your question & I am sorry to hear about the impact that this has had on your life. Tuberous breast changes represent a combination of challenging problems, and require nuanced conversations with patients in order to optimise the outcome and meet your goals. I would recommend a face...
Hi, thanks for your question. Based on your photos, you have significantly tuberous breasts with both a constructed lower pole and herniation of the nipple areola complex. I would recommend addressing both of these simultaneously with surgery, likely with a combination of a breast implant and...
