Can fat be transferred to any area of the breast or just the upper pole ? I've been reading up on breast fat transfer and was wandering if it can be used on the lower portion of the breast and the sides to create volume in this area? Can it basically be injected in to any area of the breast? I'm a mastectomy patient so no point in recommending implants to me .. I already have this and still have a very flat result . Thanks

Answer: Breast shaping with fat grafting Fat grafts can be injected to any site in the breast where volume and shape is needed. However, presence of the scar and limitted amount of recipient tissue may preclude spectacular result. Usually several stages of fat transfer (2-4) may be needed to achieve desired result. Other types of reconstruction like latissimus dorsi flap, may be used in order to achieve mayor volume/shape change. Hope this helps.

Answer: Can fat be transferred to any area of the breast or just the upper pole? Hello @booboo32, thank you for your question. Yes, fat transfer can add volume to any area of the breast, including the lower portion. The surgical plan depends on individual goals and expectations of the patient. During a consultation, a board-certified plastic surgeon will evaluate your breast tissue and discuss your desired outcome to determine the best approach for you. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
