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

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.

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.   

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.
