I am 42 years old. Over the last year, I have lost over 80lbs through diet and excerise. This has invariably left my breasts deflated. I am NOT interested in either a breast lift or implants. My personal preference and desire is not to have perky breasts, but for a return of my previous volume. I have attached pictures of myself and an example of my goal. Is what I'm looking for possible with BFT, assuming multiple procedures. I will be doing a consult with a board certified plastic surgeo
Answer: Fat transfer It is. very difficult to predict or control how much fat will be retained. You can try fat transfer but you would likely need multiple sessions and the result just okay

Answer: No Lift, No Implants just Breast Fat Transfer - can I return my breasts to its previous volume? (photos) 200 cc per breast is typically the upper limit of fat injection recommended by most plastic surgeons. It is not that more cannot be injected; but on average, this has been determined to be the most that can be expected to live during one transfer. Multiple transfers would be required for additional cc's. In general, the abdomen and thighs are preferred donor sites but fat from other areas can be used. Returning your breasts to their previous volume before weight loss is likely impossible with breast fat transfer alone.

Answer: Breasts You need a lift and cannot get the volume you had with just fat. For that amount increase you want will need implants. However, I do not recommend going back to that size since your skin will now sag more quickly.

Answer: No Lift, No Implants just Breast Fat Transfer - can I return my breasts to its previous volume? Dear @Dimps212 thank you for your question. Breast fat transfer or autologous fat lipoinjection is a natural volume technique that can be applied for aesthetic or restorative purposes. It should be noted that lipotransfer does not replace augmentation mammoplasty with prostheses, since each technique has its own indication and requirements. This technique is used to provide symmetry and improve the body contour and therefore does not increase more than one size. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS

Answer: Fat transfer Dear Dimps212, 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 Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
