Is a breast fat transfer risky?

suki655
I am considering breast fat transfer. Breast implant sounds too scary but I really want my size to be bigger than it is now. Currently I am 34A and want to be 34B (or C through multiple procedure) if possible with fat transfer. I have researched and there are those who claim breast fat transfer is safe. And there are those who claim breast fat transfer is risky. What I am more worried about is a possible inflammation caused by injected fat. Any insight on the risk would be appreciated!
