42 yr old Caucasian female, 5’8” ~140 lbs. Had above the muscle implants for 22 yrs (size A to C). Explanted 4/26/23, roughly 1.5 yr PO.Will not be considering implants again. My chest wall has some significant concavity on both sides where implants sat. I have very little breast tissue, folds, adhesions etc. Would like to visually correct folds, etc-I do not care about breast size-small is fine/preferable. Is this realistically correctable?
Answer: Fat transfer after explant in cases like your's where you have excess skin that has scarred down or adhered to the chest causing a deformity it is difficult to correct this with a fat transfer. Fat requires robust vascular tissue to survive. Where there is both scars tissue/adhesions and a lack of vascular tissue the fat won't survive. Furthermore, fat will go to the areas of least resistance meaning that it won't overcome the effects of scar tissue. For these reasons a fat transfer in your case wouldn't help much. You might consider removing excess skin with a breast lift which would leave you with a flat chest but less excess skin and adhesions.

Answer: Breasts Fat will not give enough volume to the center part of your very thin breast tissue. Your implants stretched and thinned your own tissue in that area. Fat is injected into actual breast tissue and not into the space where the implant was. You might be a candidate for a lift first and then try fat.

Answer: Bellesoma Method The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.
