Question

Would a fat transfer help fill out deflated breasts? I only want to go up one breast size to fill out loose skin I had a breast lift 4 yeas ago. Could I get the fat from my stomach during a tummy tuck?

Joel Patrick Maier, MD · Answer

Yes, fat transfer can help your upper pole volume and help fill the skin and improve shape. We would need an in-person exam to assess your fat donor areas there as you are thin. Alternatively, you could pursue an appropriately sized saline implant, either way, No lift needed. Thank you.

If you want to increase only 1 size, with fat it is possible, but a full lipo would be needed to get the necessary and good quality fat for your breasts, you need between 150cc and 200cc for each breast to increase one size

Dear Sjose,
fat transfer breast augmentation is a viable alternative for women who desire larger breasts without the use of implants. Fat transfer is also widely used in reconstruction of the breast after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. It can also be very effective in correcting the size and shape of the breasts due to genetic problems such as tuberous breast or Poland Syndrome, two conditions that look like misshapen or underdeveloped breasts.In addition, the following scenarios are also reason to consider breast fat grafting:• If you have chest areas that appear creased and sunken• If you desire more permanent correction than is provided by temporary fillers• If you wish to improve your body contour, revise scars, fill bodily depressions and rejuvenate the natural curve of your breasts• To fill in contour irregularities or hide obvious signs of breast implantsYou should discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon and make sure your surgeon understands your concerns and your breast augmentation goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

I don’t think you have enough fat in your abdomen to make much difference. You’re better off with implants. Scared of silicone?  Saline works just fine

Harry T. Haramis, MD, FACS · Answer

Fat transfer can restore upper fullness to a degree. Usually a good option and you can use fat from tummy tuck.

Implants are usually better for much larger augmentations.

An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your best options and expectations.
