Is It possible to transfer fat in my case? (Photo)

Question

I have fat accumulation in the abdominal area and small breast size. My weight is 61 kg, and my height is 158 cm .I would like to know if fat transfer from my abdomen and thighs to my breasts is possible. If so, approximately how much fat can be injected into each breast? Specifically, is it possible to inject 400cc or 500cc into each breast in my case? Would my fat reserves and breast tissue support this? If not, what would be the approximate volume that can be injected?

There are varying opinions as to the volume of fat that can be safely and reliably transferred to the breasts. The general consensus is that one cup size is probably the maximum. Many feel that one half cup size may be more realistic for most patients.

Fat transfer is a great option to enhance your breasts. Typically, we treat the mid-section as a unit so you would want upper/lower abdomen, hips and waist which will easily yield at least 2 liters of pure fat so volume will not be an issue. Thank you for sharing.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

Your breasts are asymmetrical in volume, shape, and position.  I recommend a circumareola approach to even the nipple-areola complexes.  I also recommend placing more fat in the smaller breast first.  I can usually get 200-300 cc of fat but not 400-500 cc of fat.  The larger breast will need less volume than that.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Dear Charming446718,
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.

based on your photos you'd be a very good candidate for a fat transfer to your breasts.  400 - 500cc would be achievable if done correctly.
