body fat redistrubutionfor breasts?

[KymmieL]

While talking to my GYN earlier today. She asked about any breast growth. None was expected as I am not on estrogen. I got to thinking. If I could take my belly fat and put it up in my chest I would be a happy girl.

 

Does anyone know if this is a procedure or if it can even be done.?

I never heard of such a thing.

It is defintely a procedure. It has decent success, but there are potential side effects, like any other surgical procedure. Google BA w/ fat transfer and you'll find details. I don't know anyone that has actually had it done, so can't provide any anecdotes.

They CAN move fat around... I'm blanking on what it's called. Basically they move fat from area #1 to area #2. It's basically how a Brazilian butt-lift (no really, that's what it's called) works. I've heard you can do it for breasts as well. I signed up for a breast augmentation ad/update thingy with local doctors so I get a ping in my mailbox with before and after shots with various procedures.

 

With the fat transplant, about 20% of the fat cells survive and make new lives for themselves in their new neighborhood. The rest get flushed out of your system. I think you need to have it "re done" periodically because the fat cells naturally migrate back to where they started through the normal functions of your body.

 

I hope some of that is helpful!

My BA doc called it “Fat Grafting” using a liposuction technique but I’m sure there are other names for it..who knows. My doctor prefers doing this procedure over man made implants but I checked with my insurance and it turns out that my trans care benefits only allow for silicon or saline breast implants which is a much less expensive procedure. Oh well, it’s better than nothing.

When I was getting fitted for my prosthetic breasts. The lady doing it asked if I wanted to do breast augmentation. She was telling me that it is not a one time good deal. you have to have maintenance on them every couple years. So I had though using product from your own body would be better.

From what I've researched, a modest increase in breast size can be achieved with fat grafting. Without the breast shape feminizing effect of HRT, I'd be afraid that would just result in man boobs. I've opted for silicon implants to achieve the specific breast size increase and profile I'm looking for.

Funny, just a few nights ago I Googled BA and found information on this procedure.  From what I remember its a newer technique that is starting to gain more popularity and becoming safer and more effective/successful. 

Its called Brava and Autologous Fat Transfer if you want to check online.

It has a higher risk of failure if the blood supply doesn't sucessfully expand into the new fat.  It seems its not much of a risk to health, but the fat will just disappear and back to no boobs if it fails.

 

The other thing is you have to wear some type of vacuum/suction bra constantly for quite a few weeks, rather than just walking out of the Dr's office with new boobs for normal implants.

Lots of pros/cons.  But choices are nice❣️
