Is It Possible to Have Two Fat Transfer Breast Augmentations to Get a Larger Increase in Volume?

Thank you for your question. It is possible to do two fat transfers to the breasts, depending how much fat you have for transfer. This surgery needs to be planned from the beginning with the patient. I prefer to remove fat from the abdomen, back, hips and flanks first. I reserve the thighs and arms for the possible second transfer.You do not want to collect the fat from all body areas and create scarring which makes a secondary liposuction for fat collection harder with lower percentage of viable fat. You will lose about 30-35% of the volume. Even though autologous fat breast augmentation is more expensive than breast implant augmentation, in the long run it is cheaper. You will not have the implant related issues of implant breakage, capsular contracture, bottoming out and other issues which will require further surgery and cost over your lifetime. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in fat grafts to the breasts, buttocks and face. Good luck.

Yes, you can have 2 breast augments with fat grafting as long as you have enough fat. This will cost more then breast implants and require longer surgical times. I would consider breast implants but it sounds as though you are against them. I have not done any repeat breast augments with fat as my patients have all been happy with just one session.

While it’s technically possible to undergo multiple fat transfer breast augmentations, it’s important to consider the limitations and risks associated with the procedure. Each surgery introduces potential complications, and there are limits to how much fat can be transferred at once. Consulting with an experienced plastic surgeon is crucial to assess your individual case, discuss expectations, and determine the feasibility and safety of multiple procedures. Keep in mind that achieving a significant increase in volume may have practical and aesthetic considerations.

Yes, you can have a fat transfer/fat grafting to increase the volume in your breasts.  You will most likely need several procedures to increase to a DD because fat grafting results are unpredictable.  We can not predict how much fat that was transferred will be absorbed.  A silicone gel implant feels natural, is FDA approved and is reliable.  Perhaps consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss each procedure and your best options.  ac

If you find a BRAVA surgeon who will guarantee this, then sign up and go for it.  BRAVA, as presented in our meetings can product modest increases in size, more along a cup as the routine.  Implants are much more reliable but only you can decide what will work best for you.

Fat transfer is one modality that is best done with the BRAVA system in the hopes of increasing the space and improving the vascular supply for the injected fat. I think that implants are more reliable and will increase your volume in one procedure.

It is possible, and has been done. Fat transfers are considerably costlier than implant augmentation, all the more so if done twice. You need to have quite a lot of excess fat even for a one cup size increase.

All the best. 

Fat transfers to breasts can be repeated to try and achieve the size you want. I usually wait 3-6 months in between each session to give the newly transferred fat opportunity to grow and settle. You will need to have fat avaiable for the transfer, and try to keep your weight stable.

Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, liposculpture and lipo-injection is a valuable tool to refine breast shape and provide increase in size.  The most frustrating aspect to the technique is that it is not possible to control how much of the fat will successfully transfer, so it is not possible to predict the size increase. You may need several sessions of fat transfer and you may never get as much enlargement as you want. That kind of uncertainty needs to be OK with you if you decide to have fat transfer to the breast.  If not, an implant can be a much more predictable enlargement.   

Consider Breast Implants over fat transfer.  Breast implants are safe, and breast tissue can be clearly seen with mammogram.  Fat transfers do not give the best result.  Discuss this with your Plastic Surgeon, as well as a breast cancer surgeon before making that decision.
