Can breast fat transfer add fullness to the top of the breasts?

Hello, and thank you for reaching out to us. The fullness of your upper breast is ideal for fat transfer. Taking your body's own, natural fat is the new liquid gold. It allows us to contour and refine the body in ways like never before. Obviously, we cannot be certain without a consultation, but improving a modest area of the breast is a perfect use of fat transfer. It can add the exact amount of 'pop' and fullness that you are looking for. Good luck, please let us know how it goes.- Dr. Constantino Mendieta

Adding fat to the upper poles of the breast is an excellent use of fat transfer to breasts.   Adding fat (volume) similarly to an implant will help in a small amount of lift if your nipples are in a favorable position.  However, if the nipples are significantly below your crease and/or there is a large amount of excess skin, then you will need to have a lifting procedure with removal of skin.An in-person exam with a
board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to assess your needs and
provide true medical advice. Best of
luck. Dr. Michael Omidi

Adding fullness to the upper pole of breasts that already have some overall size and fullness is an excellent indication for fat grafting. This is one of the applications for fat grafting to the breasts where it works quite well.

Dear nnwarren,It is possible to achieve increased fullness with fat transfer. Unfortunately, this procedure will not address nipple position and overall breast shape. Of course, a proper physical examination with a plastic surgeon would be the only way to gauge your candidacy for fat transfer surgery and to gauge your expectations for the final result. I wish you the best of luck!

Most breast fat transfer is focused on the upper half of the breast.The majority of patients who request this procedure are postpartum women who have breast fed. Most women who breastfeed develop breast engorgement followed by loss of breast volume, especially in the upper half of the breast.Gravity also plays a role.This procedure is excellent for women who desire a modest breast enhancement, especially in the upper half of the breast. We refer to this procedure as Up A Cup. It's a fitting expression since most patients can only expect to add one cup size of volume after breast fat transfer.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.

Upper breast fullness can be improved with fat grafting.  However, the improvement occurs in stages and may never be as remarkable as implant placement and may need multiple fat grafting sessions.  The entire breast size and shape needs to be considered in this process.  Candidates for fat grafting will need a formal in office evaluation and Vectra analysis may be helpful.
