Hello - I currently run 3-5 miles and also hit the gym and lift weights a few times a week. In about 6 weeks I plan to get a fat transfer to breasts. I’m a small 32a, 5’4”, stable 118 pounds, 42 with kids. In a year or so I may begin to again run half-marathons. Could that sort of exercise basically melt all the fat away that I will (hope to) gain on my breasts? Thanks in advance for any insight, especially specific cases you have seen.

Answer: Fat transfer Dear rpmgirasol,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.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Running distance If you plan to run distance, a fat transfer may not be your best choice. You will have more stability with implants. Your body may use some of the stored fat for energy, as it is designed to do.
