Fat Transfer to BreastsBefore & After Pictures

This is a 51 year old woman who had a bilateral breast augmentation with me in 2014. At the time she had textured silicone implants placed under the muscle. Now that there is a correlation between textured implants and the possibility of Breast Implant Associated Acute Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) the decision was made to remove these implants. She wanted to restore some of the lost volume following removal of the implants but she didn't want to replace with new implants. She was a great candidate for implant removal with fat transfer to add volume. The implants were removed through her old incision in the fold under the breast and about 200cc of fat was added to each breast to restore volume. The fat was harvested from the back, the waist and the abdomen. Fat transfer is an excellent and safe technique to restore shape and volume in cases of implant exchanges or breast reconstruction. The photos taken at one year show a very nice, soft, long lasting result and she is very pleased.

Patient had a breast augmentation with implants 10 years ago and wanted to transition to not having implants, rather using her own fat to have beautiful, natural, and enhanced breasts. We were able to help her by removing her implants and transferring fat to the breasts from her love handle areas and back. Also mention that the areas where the fat was taken also look great (aka added bonus)!
