Hi Kcol97,
Thank you for the question. While the results of fat transfer to the breast can vary depending on the individual characteristics of the patient, I generally tell my patients that they can expect to maintain approximately 1/2 to 1 full cup size increase long term. This depends on not only how much donor fat can be harvested for grafting, but also how much recipient tissue you have to accept the graft. Based on your pictures, I would judge that you are currently a small B cup and…

Hi madisonvvl,
Based on your BMI, you will likely achieve a more substantial result from intramuscular gluteal implants. That being said, in cases like yours, I generally also liposuction the lower back/love handles during the same procedure in order to obtain enough fat to perform a mini-bbl in addition to the implant. This allows me to camouflage the edges of the implant and fill out your “hip dips” to enhance the result. As always, it is best to consult with a BE/BC plastic surgeon…

Hi gentle497619,
Thank you for the question. Once you have completely recovered from surgery, there should be no contraindication to redlight therapy or total body enhancement. As always, be sure to check with your individual surgeon for any postoperative questions before changing or adding to your routine. Hope this helps!

Is it possible to do awake fat graft for 100cc only of fat? Above breast implant?

Hi munirah97x,
It is certainly possible to perform breast fat grafting while awake using only local anesthesia and oral medication. 100-150cc is a conservative amount of fat to be grafted, and should be able to be safely done superficially to your breast implant if performed by a qualified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps!

Hi Augmentation233821,
Thank you for the question. You are correct in that it is generally possible to increase the butt implant size during revision surgery. I place butt implants intramuscularly, which means that I will generally only place an implant that allows me to close the muscle without tension over the implant. Over time, these muscle fibers stretch and a scar capsule forms. This enables placement of a larger implant during the second surgery, while still allowing for a tension…

Hi Kurin,Thank you for the question. Pectoral implants are different from breast implants in that they are form stable, meaning that they do not rupture and leak. In fact, we sometimes even have to make small adjustments to pec implants intraoperatively by carving them in order to fit an individual, something you could not do with breast implants. That being said, if they are not causing an issue, they do not need to be routinely replaced. Hope this helps!

Hi Brooko,
Thank you for your question. Cheek filler or fat grafting are both excellent options for adding volume to your face. Filler is reversible and could allow you to see how you like the changes before committing to fat grafting, which would be a more permanent option. Hope this helps!
