Breast fat transfer on thin person?

Jadore01
I am a 38 yr old female, over 15 yrs post breast cancer (lumpectomy on one side) and post 2 children (breastfed both from the other side). I’ve now been at a stable weight of about 110 lbs at 5”4 for about 6 months. I would like to improve my breast symmetry and have a small lift on the side that breast fed as it is a bit deflated. I have done a lot of research on implants and the risks outweigh the benefits for me. So fat transfer is the only option, but I am not sure it can be done.
