Wide set breasts. Will breast fat transfer work with me? (Photo)

Dear Rational158449,
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.

Fat transfer will work but it will not transform your breasts into round and close together. It may slightly improve the gap but you will still have the droop. Survival is usually quoted around 65%. You may be better off discussing the advantages of a lift with your surgeon. Best of luck. As always, be sure to research who performs your surgery to ensure the best likelihood of a positive result.

I would suggest first doing a lift to raise your breasts into a normal position. Fat transfer will not lift breasts. Once in the right place, then you can see if fat is needed for more volume.
