Will my age, 60, effect results of fat transfer to breast?

I have performed fat transfer to breasts in many women over the age of 60.  It typically results in 1/2 cup increase.  Occasionally it results in a maximum of 1 cup increase.  To achieve 1-2 cup increase you must consider breast implants.  I find the most dramatic size increase from fat transfer to the breasts occurs in patients in their 20's and 30's.  

Your age will not affect the results of the fat transfer to the breast, but the amount of fat available for transfer will.  In general, 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. Fat transfer to the breast could improve the fullness of the breast, particularly at the top of the breast. If you want more than a one cup size increase, this may require multiple treatments to reach the size you desire.  Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

As long as you are healthy, age should not affect results. However, you do need to have adequate fat to harvest. If you are very thin, implants may be a better option.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations.
