Hi, I would like to do a fat transfer to the breasts. The mammogram shows that I have extreme dense breasts (ACR Category D). I do have enough fat (to be transferred).My concern is that being the breasts so dense the cannulas would puncture/ go inside the milk ducts and gland and damage them. Is this true? Is it safe to inject fat in the mammary glands? Thank you for your replies

Answer: Fat transfer to the breasts It is almost impossible for the thin cannulas to penetrate dense breast tissue during a fat transfer. You may place the fat around the dense tissue and under the breasts (just above the pectoralis muscle). Usually implants are a better option for augmentation.

Answer: Breast fat transfer Each plastic surgeon will have their own technique for where they graft fatty. Fat grafting typically doesn’t work so well through with dens breast parenchyma, so most of the fan is typically grafted in the subcutaneous, fat layer, and sometimes under the breast.
