Fat transfer is a popular method of increasing bust size, with the other being the use of implants. The attraction of fat transfer is the ability to use only "self" tissue, thus negating the risk of foreign material in the body, as well as that of removing fat from unwanted locations in the body and placing them in desirable locations, in this case the breast, thus achieving 2 aims with a single procedure.
The maximum cup size is dependent on 2 main factors -
- The laxity/stetchiness of your native breast pocket
- The amount of donor fat that you have
Typical areas that would yield a good amount of useable fat are the abdomen, flanks and thighs. In this regard, certain slim ladies with a low fat % are not suitable.
The laxity of the breast pocket is important as high pressure fat injection usually results in high percentages of fat loss.
My patients typically go up 1 cup size after 1 procedure, depending on the factors I mentioned above. The overall shape of the breast also improves.
Repeat procedures can be performed to achieve the desired cup volume but this has to be spaced 2-3 months apart.
I hope this answers your question!
Best Regards,
