I've researched on Fat transfer to breasts and think it isn't such a good idea. Dr. Thomas Roberts is a pioneer doing fat transfer to buttocks, so I was surprised that he didn't do it to breasts. When I asked, I was told that first of all, the fat cells will be reabsorbed back to the body (higher absorption rate than when put on buttocks); secondly, it will cause calcium deposit, which can prevent mammogram from detecting breast cancer. Dr. Hisham Seify, a celebrity plastic surgeon, also said that using fat for primary breast augmentation is still a controversial topic. A portion of the fat transferred could become cystic or hardens. This will lead to problems in the diagnosis of breast diseases and unnecessary biopsies. Anyway I was told by quite a few doctors that those are the reasons why American Society of Aesthetic plastic surgery and American Society of plastic surgery don't recommend the procedure. At the same time, all agree that going up in one size usually is the best you can get.
