    Default Fat Transfer instead of implants?? Anyone?

    Hi ...Im curious if anyone has had their breast enlarged by Fat transfer...instead of implants? I only want to go up 1 cup size and don't want implants...as im scared of them....not sure why. I know the fat transfer is only temporary and wears off over 5yrs or so. Ive done some research online but cant find to much info on it. Just wondering if anyone here on the forums has had it done or knows of anyone who has. They don't do the procedure in my country yet...so I would have to travel OS to get it done. The cost and the fact its not longer lasting don't worry me.

    I was thinking of this too, however I read that it only enlarges you 1/2 cup size. There's a magazine called New Beauty, there's a lot of info in it about plastic surgery & surgeons all over the US.

    Fat transfer has different results for different people. Sometimes the person's body accepts the transferred fat, thus the size increase is substantial and permanent. But sometimes the person's body rejects the transferred fat, thus the size increase is minor and the transferred fat is gradually 'removed' by the body's immune system ... leaving the person right back where they started from after a few months ( which is what happened to me in regard to fat transfer to my lips ). Fat transfer also has some rare but noteworthy potential side effects, such as calcium build-up around the injected fat, etc. And of course there is risk of infection because of both the fatty tissue spending time outside the body, plus multiple injection sites.

    IMHO at this point, fat transfer is still a 'hit or miss' technology. Recent claims indicate that progress has been made regarding improving the 'acceptance ratio' via using the person's T-cells along with transferred fat. But I'm still leery of the procedure ... if for no other reason than knowing that if I'm going to have to spend thousands of dollars and put myself through a surgical procedure I want to have something to show for it !!!
