Hi. Im planning an removal of 360 cc implants of 10 years. Prior to surgery I was an a cup. Im having my consultation in the end of summer and Im not sure whether or not I have enough body fat for this procedure. I have flanks and my inner thighs could use some lipo. Could I fill my breasts by one cup size with this? I dont wanna be left flat. Thank you very, very much for all your answers
Answer: I am considering a breast implant removal with fat transfer - will I be able to go up one cup size with this alone? Hello @Peaceful2294, thank you for your question. Everything depends on the surgical technique of the specialist performing surgery. Remember that any kind of explant must be complete, that is, the surgeon must remove the whole capsule out. Complete capsulectomy. Also it would be necessary to carry out a preventive biopsy on each capsule. In any case, I do not perform breast fat transfer during a breast implant removal procedure because for me, the breast explant must be performed with a breast reconstruction in which the mammary tissue is placed adequately in place again. If the fat seeding is done at the same time, it might get infected or die; there is no guarantee that the seeding will stick. with breast fat transfer is posible to go up one size. If you are considering a breast explantation, consultation with a plastic surgeon who is experienced in this procedure is essential to ensure optimal results. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Fat transfer I think you have enough donor fat to make a proportionate, sizable breast. With proper techinque, we should get the volume needed in one stage. Thank you,

Answer: Explant with fat transfer When breast implants are removed there is a lot of excess skin that will remain after the implants are removed. Replacing implant volume with a fat transfer is a great way to prevent a deformity and give you back some breast size and shape.

Answer: Fat You appear to have enough fat with just what you showed. However, you may gain a half up to one cup increase in size. With removing the implants, you will be smaller than you were originally due to stretching and thinning your own tissue with the implant. Your surgeon can help you understand how much actual beast tissue is left.

Answer: Fat transfer Dear Peaceful2294, generally speaking, implants removal and fat transfer is a viable option. fat transfer breast augmentation is a viable alternative for women who desire larger breasts without the use of implants. Fat transfer is also widely used in reconstruction of the breast after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. It can also be very effective in correcting the size and shape of the breasts due to genetic problems such as tuberous breast or Poland Syndrome, two conditions that look like misshapen or underdeveloped breasts.In addition, the following scenarios are also reason to consider breast fat grafting:• If you have chest areas that appear creased and sunken• If you desire more permanent correction than is provided by temporary fillers• If you wish to improve your body contour, revise scars, fill bodily depressions and rejuvenate the natural curve of your breasts• To fill in contour irregularities or hide obvious signs of breast implantsYou should discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon and make sure your surgeon understands your concerns and your breast augmentation goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
