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

[@vernaschwilke452]

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

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

great. Congratulations.

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.

[@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.

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. ❤️

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.

[@therealdynasmith]

I appreciate how you are honest about results and risks, there are some greedy doctors that won’t give a true expectation!

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

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?

Is there a test, Doctor for a silicone allergy, let’s call it, for example for a person who may have a silicone intolerance? Before receiving implants? So thankful for your time on this topic.

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.

"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]

That’s an excellent and very important question!

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!

I'm a TNBC survivor and my plastic surgeon suggested the fat transfer after my bilateral mastectomy because he doesn't do implants after Expander. He says the results will be similar to a expander and that i will need around 5 to 6 procedures every 3 months. I trust my plastic surgeon but after seeing your video got curious about your opinion. Love your explaining, its clear and easy to understand!

[@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 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.

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.

The ideal timing for breast augmentation when you are breastfeeding is about six months after you have completely stopped breastfeeding. You can speak and visit a board-certified plastic surgeon to further discuss your preferences and the options that are available for you, especially if you are looking forward to having another child.

This was really informative, I am apprehensive about having implants for all the reasons you stated - I have a rebellious immune system. I have plenty of space after nursing two babies. Do you have any thoughts on someone who keloids?

Ur amazing!! Thank u for all the informations

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

Most educational! Thank you

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.

[@cristipachano-fj2zr]

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

[@koaks06]

What do you mean by the "breasts will retain that memory" in regards to losing weight? Do you mean that if I generally gain weight in my lower abdomen and then we take that fat and put it in my breast When I gain more weight The fat cells in my breast will be likely to gain?

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.

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?

[@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 😔

I suffer from keloid scaring, would this cause problems with this procedure?

[@Badashfitqueen]

I’m a competitive bodybuilder and my weight fluctuates whether I’m in prep or in my off season. I breastfed and lost a lot of weight therefore my new “stable breast” were left deflated and volume less . I’m not in the market for implants but would love fat transfer just to gain a little more volume. Can this be done along with a breast lift and would I not be a good candidate if my weight and body fat percentage fluctuates throughout the year while competing in bodybuilding?

[@dolleyjacob3]

Thank you for your honesty. I wish you could be my surgeon I can’t afford you right now… lol :(

I really wished this video would mention fat transfer options for women with tubular breast deformity but amazing and helpful video nonetheless

[@Bamboostarbaby]

Can the fat loss in the breast lose volume differently and become asymmetrical?

[@vidyaroy1627]

If we are getting fat tranfer for the cleavage along with breast implants how do we avoid using a compression bra because the implants need to be held in place with a bra but the fat needs blood flow? What do you do in that situation

[@christytuttle5590]

Does dense breast tissue present a potential issue for fat transfer for breast enlargement?

[@heykaykay_hd]

This is perfect for me. I breast fed twins and lost all my volume literally so I have giant pancakes.

[@small11989]

Yes me too! Breast fed two children and now left with little empty saggies lol. Thinking I’ll do a lift plus’s fat transfer for a lifted, natural look👌🏼
