We think it puts them into an unhealthy state, and creates fat which can be less than optimal. We recommend patients be active even immediately after the fat grafting procedure, and begin moderate exercise (treadmill, stretching, et cetera) after one week. We encourage people to resume normal exercises at about two weeks after fat grafting procedures. Please see the <a href="http://www.drscoleman.net/2010/07/sydney-coleman-interviewed-for-stem-cell-facelift-using-structural-fat-grafting/" rel="nofollow">post on the “stem cell effect”</a> to help you understand the improvement in the quality of your skin after fat grafting. The important factor is that the 10 to 20% of the fat that goes away does so evenly. That appears to be one of the big strengths of my technique. The resorbed fat is carried away by your white blood cells in a natural way much like it would if you bruised your breast by blunt trauma. Breasts after augmentation with fat grafting are usually incredibly soft and natural. It is usually impossible to detect the infiltrated fat even with careful examination. However, it is definitely possible to have calcifications and fat necrosis with fat grafting to the breast, as in every procedure to the breast. Silicone implants are especially prone to calcification and scarring. If fat necrosis occurs in a properly fat grafted breast it is usually isolated to a small area.

Will I be able to exercise after having procedure done? Also, you mentioned somewhere about the effect of fat on the surrounding tissue. What does that mean? does the new fat change the consistency of the surrounding tissues? and what happens when the 20% of fat reabsorbs? Is it safe to reabsorb fat? also, I want the breasts to feel soft, but I heard calcifications and fat necrosis can make them hard? Hello Dr. Coleman,

This procedure does outshine breast implants. We have been seeing that people who have adequate donor sites and who religiously use the Brava before and after their procedure end up with a much larger correction than our office’s first patients (see my website) did. We feel that pretty much what you see at about 4-6 months after the procedure is close to the end result. Of course, women naturally lose some volume of their breasts with age (especially around menopause). Please call our office 212 571 5200 and speak with Renee about the procedure. Karen,

This procedure seems to outshine breast implants - and having to take our breast implants at max every 10 years really turns me off. I just have a question - I have A cups, and I've seen I could only go up to B cups - but using stem cell or adipose, something like that, would be more beneficial to gaining at least a C cup. Do you think C cups could go be brought up to C cups? And how long, generally, does this procedure last for? A lifetime? I have been reading about this, and really want to get it done.

I am now 32 and I am having a lot of issues with wrinkling and hardening (esp of my L breast). I wanted to know whether it was possible to have the implants taken out and replaced by fat grafting. Also, whether you have done any such procedures and may have case photos. Thank you so much. T Dear Dr Coleman,

If you can send us photographs of your breasts, or come by the office for a consultation, I can better advise you on your situation or send you photos of similar patients. The professional fee for tubular breast correction varies depending on how much augmentation is performed at the procedure, but can run from $12,000 to $30,000. Insurance companies are variable in their policies, but most do not cover tubular breast correction unless there is a functional problem.

However,most of the answer is better having a implant correctio.I have only see your 2 of your case picture and I would like to know if you are willing to send me more. By the way, I also want to know the approx. price for tubular breast correction and if it can be covered by the insurance? tks Dear Doctor:

For a simple augmentation the price usually runs from about $20,000 up, depending on the complexity of the procedure. For placing around silicone implants to cover the edges, disguise the edges or to help soften the implant the cost is usually less because the amount of fat that I need to transfer is usually much less. Because of your inquiry and others that women have made recently, I have created a new blog posting today that describes the consultation, the procedure and explains the rationale for the pricing. If you call my office and speak with Renee +1 212 571 5200, she can help you better understand the cost of the procedure for your individual situation.

You are obviously the master of fat grafting to the breasts. My older sister has already had breast implants, but they have made her breasts look unnatural (hard and weirdly shaped). I am afraid that silicone breast implants will do the same thing to me. I have heard that fat grafting to the breast costs a lot more much more than silicone implants. Why is it so expensive? And finally how much would it cost to have you perform fat grafting to the breast for me and for my sister who has the problem with her implants? Dr. Coleman,
