#23 Everything To Know About Fat Transfer To The Breasts!

I had this treatment for breast reconstruction post breast cancer. It was wonderful. I am currently 11 years cancer free.

May i ask you , how long after radiation therapy you did undergo the fat grafting ? How much fat you lost of it ?

[@vernaschwilke452]

@Luni ss. I didn't have radiation. Fortunately I was post menopausal and so they didn't feel I would benefit from radiation. I did wait 6 months after my last herceptin infusion. Herception really brought out all of the aches and pains. Felt and looked 20 years older than I actually was. We now have 10+ years of actual procedures now where I believe the doctors would have most of the kinks worked out. I understand that radiation is really hard on the skin. Maybe there is a lotion or ointment that you can use in preparation for the surgery.

[@Sarahhh_Klein]

I wish every surgeon would explain things so clear and honest 🙌

[@lamusiquefanatique]

Couldn't agree more

[@kellyl.997]

I had this done approximately 7 years ago. It was still somewhat controversial at that time. Very few surgeons did it. I had it done after cancer. I didn't want implants and I didn't want huge breasts. Usually you get a cup size bigger. I was a 34C to begin with. My breasts turned out beautifully and I wouldn't want to be any larger. They got bigger over time for some reason. A little over 34D. I disagree with the mammogram thing The one annoying thing is false positive cysts and fat necrosis that shows up as "suspicious" areas and three times I had to go through ultra sounds and biopsies for no reason. Costly. Still glad I did it my way. Funny how the two lights behind him look like breasts...just sayin.😂

[@sgt8]

I’m having this done next year. 2 years ago I had a double mastectomy after cancer diagnosis. I’m not going bigger than I was before. I just don’t want to be concave anymore.

it is very important to discuss all possible complications and expectations prior to surgery.

@@barrettplasticsurgery I am seriously considering coming to you , I don’t trust the doctors here in Miami , they are very aggressive in trying to book and I feel like they are looking for numbers . I seriously only want lipo and a bbl has been pushed down my throat !!

[@MG-ve6dl]

Right, very honest. I always go with the MD that tells me " NO" first, versus the ones that see I'm paying cash and promise the moon and space ship. I was a - A , went in for consult. Wanted a D had the cash that I saved. Went to 3 Dr. Two told me yes, standing at 5 feet 128 lbs. One told me "no", and he was not willing to put his name on that "as my work is its own walking billboard." Take this (cocoa butter) and go home. Massage the boobs for two weeks, and when you come back, we will aim for a full C. I was surprised but felt reassured. Got them done and was happy as ever... The only downside is I'm approaching year 10 and scared that getting them redone won't turn out as perfect as these. So, lowering my expectations and a fat transfer might be the option.

[@lamusiquefanatique]

@@MG-ve6dl I'm kind of confused. You were able to go from A to C with fat transfer? Or was it implants?

[@mollybergeron115]

Breast Implant Illness isn't overblown for those of us that experienced it. I spent 16 years trying to see specialists and doctors trying to figure out what was wrong. It was so difficult because surgeons downplayed the possibility of it. Just be clear, it can very much be an issue, just so women know to look into it if they start having issues. Thank god these issues aren't for everyone. But for someone that went through it, surgeons made me feel like my implants could have never been an issue. I genuinely know my life would have been different if more surgeons wouldn't have discredited peoples claims of it causing health issues. People's health is ALWAYS most important. Thank you for the platform and information.

[@robinwilliams2716]

Thank you Dr. Barrett for answering so many questions clearly offering a much better understanding of the procedure. Some doctors seem annoyed by too many questions then assume their time is being wasted by someone not serious about getting a procedure done and become quite rude.

I’ve had fat grafting to my breasts. 18 mos. later I’ve maintained 1/2 cup (or more) size increase. I’ve also lost two inches from waist/flanks from the lipo. Super happy with results! My issue now is I’ve always had sagging breasts, so my next surgery is a breast lift. ❤️

You’re very honest. Thank you. Women (I think) chose to put themselves through these procedures for so many many reasons. This is a big deal.

I did it y'all I got surgery! I'm about a month out now and my breasts are making great progress. As for the fat transfer, I have volume in my breasts that exists in places it's never existed before.. especially on the sides of my breasts, I have never had side boob before!! As well as volume between and on the inner sides of my breasts, before my sternum bone was super aparent and obvious but now there's some meat there finally! Once my breasts drop and soften a bit more I can tell I will finally have cleavage I've never had before.. my surgeon injected fat in three different places on each breast, one on the side, the tops, and the inner part near my sternum. The fat has created such an improvement in my breasts along with the implant, I would 10/10 recommend!

"Once grafted, fat takes on a life of its own" ...truer words never spoken Also he is absolutely 100 % accurate about the pain from the liposuction harvesting site. I have had 9 breast surgeries in 4 years from mastectomy to failed sub pectoral implant reconstruction (gummy bear implants ruptured - and where recalled by manufacturer) followed by the procedures listed below. By far the most discomfort has been the liposuction from the flank - I feel like the proximity to the spinal cord makes that area far more sensitive than other areas I am a 42 year old female with the BRCA 1 genetic mutation and have had a a bilateral prophylactic mastectomy. March 2021 DIEP Flap reconstruction June 2021 lipofilling harvested from flank to upper pole of breast I understand that, as with any cosmetic procedure, there is no way of predicting how much fat will survive post lipofilling. However my question is: "IS it possible for the fat to migrate towards the axillar and bra strap area post op? "

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

fat cells should stay in place where they are transferred. There should be no fat migration.

[@marie-joseya5915]

Hey 👋

[@phoenixrising1305]

Most honest and informative video I've seen

[@danielahaleiwa]

I've been reading about how it's better to do fat transfer if you're skinny because the cells will be lean when transferred, instead of enlarged, and how some doctors actually ask patients to lose weight before the collection and what they do is collect a thin layer over a large area, giving preference to stable areas like love handles and thighs. I was wondering what your opinion is on that technique. And also if you think using extenders prior to the surgery help or not. I know brava is not a thing anymore, but just wondering

What about stem cell enriched fat transplant? I read a few years years ago that fat transfer often had a very lumpy results due to reabsorption of the fat by the subjects body. I then read that they were using stem cell enriched fat to prevent reabsorption. The gist was the Drs harvested twice as much fat as was needed for the transplant. Next the Drs harvested all of the stem cells from half of the fat they removed and placed those stem cells in the fat they didn't harvest stem cells from. They then used that stem cell enriched fat for the transplant. The fat they harvested the stem cells from was discarded and not used. Is this not the best method? Is it not being done now? Any further information on the subject?

I just had a consultation from another plastic surgeon in NB. I am in OC. I have saline water implants since 1998 and I wish to change them. I need probably a lift. My breast went down from breast feeding and probably aging. I am currently 49. The other surgeon said that I will benefit from lift and he thinks that I might also have a leak in one of my implant. I asked about Fat transfer and he said my breast won’t be as big as they are if I do so. I had 370 cc previously and I am close to a D cup. I used to be a Full B in my younger years. So I am really ambivalent in which one will be best. I like my size now. But I do prefer natural look. If I may I wish to have a consultation with you Dr. barrett.

I don't think it would give you a breast lift that's a different procedure. Fat transfer to the breast will mostly give a fuller look to the breast shape you already have. If you have sagginess then you'd need a breast lift and maybe implants/fat to get back the fullness you once had before your breast started sagging.

I used to be a 34 B however after having children, I blossomed into a 34 DDD. I was content being a smaller size, especially since clothes fit better and overall look nicer.

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

breast reduction is best suited for women who wish to decrease the size of their breasts. While there are different techniques used to perform this surgery, I prefer the vertical incision (lollipop pattern) breast reduction technique instead of the anchor scar pattern, which reduces more noticeable scarring than usual. I also use a SAFE liposuction technique to reduce additional fat around the stubborn axilla area and bra line. This way, my patients are achieving beautiful results with minimal incisions which reduces downtime and delivers an overall better breast shape long term. If you are considering breast reduction surgery, you should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and make sure your surgeon understands your goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

The best Video on the internet regarding fat transfer to breast. Thank you so much! Would you recommend gentle massaging the breast after transfer? Would this help the fat to survive better?

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

fat viability depends a lot of surgeon technique. The fat has to be placed back into the breasts as soon as possible so that it has a greater chance of survival. It has to be placed carefully so that not too much fat is placed in only one area.

I’m going to get fat transfer for my breast. Can I get a full lipo surgery during the fat transfer procedure ? So a lot of the fat is thrown away and not used for the fat transfer? I feel like if I’m doing the surgery I might as well pay a bit more and get both procedures done.

Hi, I'm really curious as to why someone with an autoimmune condition shouldn't do implants? I got implants at 22 and about 6 months later, I had a major flare of psoriasis but never had it before. I've been thinking about having my implants removed but unsure how it will look with fat

[@GodblessUSAalways]

I have autoimmune and I firmly believe it was cause by my implants. Here I am 22 years later about to get them removed. Our bodies reject any foreign objects placed in them especially if you have autoimmune markers. I am too ill to get them removed and do the lipo and fat transfer.

Very informative.

I would like to hear about safer options for tubular breast. I love this option, but can we do it with minor tubular breast? Great video!

[@luckyone4881]

Most educational! Thank you

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

Glad it was helpful

[@melissadd7597]

After mastectomy do you need to a capsule in order to fat graft into? So fat cells dont just go anywhere? So they stay in a capsule? My Dr is saying i need to keep tissue expander in me before fat grafting to stretch skin and allow body to build a capsule. Is that true??... fyi i am opting for no implant. Im just trying to have a sm A cup to match other healthy boob. I had explant surgery at same time as Mastectomy, so i could not just go flat; i wouldve been concaved.

What kind of exercises after the surgery ? Can’t be chest presss right? Do I do cardio? But how would that help with my fat grafting? I’m confused

[@isabelhuang1596]

Hi Dr Barrett, will fats transferring to breast be purified? Thank you so much for your video!

[@djisilva5219]

Thank you so much! It was really helpful! QUESTION! I know that I do have some gat in my body also do a lot of exercise, more isolated focused. Would my lifestyle reverse the effects of the procedure?

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

any major weight changes would affect the grafted areas. That is the reason you need to reach goal weight prior to surgery.

I had a double mastectomy just over 4 years ago. Reconstruction was done 4 1/2 years ago. I developed a intracapsular contracture. So with the rupture I am now looking at explant surgery. I was told by my plastic surgeon that I wouldn’t be a candidate for the fat grafting because I don’t have any breast tissue. Is this true or should I get a second opinion?

[@edlynelouis970]

Dr. Barrett, I recently had a rupture of breast implant. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️Therefore I had a removal and also brest lift.I truly miss the volume. I no longer desire implants. I would love to get the fat grafting to create volume again🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ I wanted to thank you for the information you have provided💕💕💕

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

you are welcome. In most cases fat transfer is a great option to restore some of loss volume.

[@ThePatty915]

I have a question I got implants with in getting sick past 3 yrs can I remove them and transfer fat?

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

generally speaking, it is possible to do fat transfer after implant removal. Feel free to contact us www.drdanielbarrett.com/virtual-consultation/

[@hanooonaho]

What about the risks of getting fat necrosis and then need to remove them? How often does that happen?

[@debbiegregory6563]

I wish you were in my city!! I would trust you for sure with surgery.

[@lulame58]

I’m very sad that I do not have enough body fat to do this! Breast implants are not an option in my personal situation.

[@loriloesche7912]

I had a reduction but have significant necrosis. My doc is suggesting a revision to remove necrosis and use fat grafting. I’m thinking of a second opinion but would his thinking be normal?

[@jeniferpaniagua2943]

so glad your located in LA !! 100% will be going here once i have saved enough! Is it possible to get breast fat transfer again and again until desired sized ? how long do i need to wait between procedures to have another fat transfer ?

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

in most cases it is best to wait at least six months between procedures. Feel free to contact us www.drdanielbarrett.com/virtual-consultation/

[@kristinaanderson8488]

Are more dr.s performing this procedure now? Has it improved? Any other natural breast enhancement options available now, 4 years later? Ive lost weighr, and my already small breasts are now nearly gone 😔

[@sophiasergi5344]

I have a question concerning the harvest of the fat cells. How much body fat percentage is needed to harvest an appropriate amount of cell? I'm 160cm tall and weigh 55kg, I'd consider my figure as "sporty" but I don't have a lot of fat tissue to work with...

[@naomiwair-tagoe7576]

If someone has a benign cyst in the breast is this procedure a possibility without removing the cyst? Great video thank you for the information

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

It is hard to tell without an examination. Feel free to contact us www.drdanielbarrett.com/virtual-consultation/

[@cristipachano-fj2zr]

Can you keep doing a couple or even three fat transfer procedures and increase more cups of breast?

[@domiibaybee1]

Best video!! I wanted to do this but I’m too skinny I would be absolutely ok to at least be a full A-cup 😩

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

in case the patient doesn't have enough fat tissue, breast implants are also perfectly safe and good option.

[@hippiehairstylist]

Can I do this AND the blood plasma "vampire breast lift" thing? Also, I honestly probably don't have enough body fat for this anyway. Not for the realistic/ satisfactory size I would like.

[@TheSallyfreese]

Do I wear a compression garment over my chest immediately after surgery. I’ve done a lypo 360 a week back and I’m watching your video now and your saying don’t wear anything tight because the fat in the breast need to breathe. I’ve been wearing my compression garment for a week now have I killed the fat in my boobs ????

[@sirens_tale]

You said that the procedure is done carefully like planting seeds, but there‘s a video I just saw on youtube where they showed everything and it looked so harsh and painful and just not any kind of gentle.. but the breasts looked great afterwards... is it really like that?

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

Fat viability depends a lot of surgeon technique. The fat has to be placed back into the breasts as soon as possible so that it has a greater chance of survival. It has to be placed carefully so that not too much fat is placed in only one area.
