Just wondering what is the suggested time to wait to get a fat transfer to breast after getting a breast lift. Should one get the lift first or the fat transfer?

Answer: Wait I recommend that my patients wait at least 3 months between the procedures. Some choose the lift first, which can make them somewhat smaller, and some choose the transfer first. Sometimes the fat can be transferred the same time as the lift, depending upon the amount of lifting required. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon and discussing all your concerns.

Answer: How long should I wait after getting a Breast lift to get a fat transfer to breasts? Good Afternoon, Thank you for your question!Fat transfer and mastopexy can often be performed together for most patients. Fat transfer can achieve up to a one cup size increase, so depending on the level of volume you want or need along with your lift, it is possible to need more than one fat transfer to achieve your goal. Generally speaking at around 6 months it can be expected that 60-70% of the fat will find the blood supply it needs to survive and remain as a permanent result with the other percentage being reabsorbed by the body.
