Hi, guys. Starr here. New to the boards LOL!
I came here because I wanted to get everyone's opinion about this one thing that's been on my mind recently.
I'm interested in having breast implants -- but not the way breast implants normally happen. From everything I've studied about breast implants, they never work like real ones do and from what I've also learned, they can sometimes fail. Not too mention they are too firm and they sit up too much.
Would it be possible if...
Say a donor gets her/his breasts remove (lets say to prevent a fatal breast cancer, or to transition from female to male, or some other reason). Would it be possible to take out the natural fats and tissue inside the breast to put inside the new breasts of the person wanting them?
Of course, I'm going to want my breasts to bounce, jiggle, flatten, and to be soft like natural ones do, and I think this would be the best approach if it's possible.
I'm thinking if I take HRT get the silicone breast implants to the size I want them (so the skin will stretch to that point), then have the implants removed, and then have the fat and tissue transplant, my breasts will be like natural ones.
I mean, I've also learned about fat grafting from one area of the body where the fat is abundant too the breast via injection but the one problem standing in the way of that is that I'm really skinny and don't have that much fat on my body anyway, AND my chest is as flat as a sheet of paper so that too is going to be a problem.
What do you guys think.
I have no idea what to think, but if it's possible... then I would be very interested, because my sister would be more than willing to be a donor.
Sounds like an improbability, but ... it doesn't sound too far-fetched, I don't think. Might be some rejection issues, perhaps, so the donor would have to be a match... and it would be a little complicated, but yeah, I dunno.
Good line of ponderence!
Spoke to my surgen about just that and was told due to circulatory issues the implant mostly will not last much longer than ~ 6 month or so.

PS: "Traditional fat-grafting (in breast reconstructive surgery) does not work terribly well because there is not enough circulation to support the survival of the fat graft," she said.
Consultant plastic surgeon Eva Weiler-Mithoff discusses the findings of a 12-month clinical trial ...
There you go.
It is called fat transfer liposuction. Some shrinkage did occur and the mammograms were showing false positives or hidden positives due to the calcium build up in the injected areas. The newer procedures using your own T-cells added are showing some promise though. There is a warning about the T-cell breast augmentation dated Sept 2011 here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-15034495 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-15034495)

I can't see how.
To Joelene9:
The problem with fat grafting is that I don't have much fat in my body to do the procedure (considering I want GG - J cup sizes) so I would have to harvest or transplant the fat from someone else's body, particularly the breasts. I'm just wondering if it can be done yet.

Most probably there would be complications due to rejection just like an organ transplant from another person if one doesn't take immunosuppressive medication.

According to my BA & FFS surgeon, the body simply absorbs the fat graft over a short period of time. This is due to lack of sufficient circulation just as was mentioned also by Dr Eva Weiler-Mithoff in Joelene's referred to article.

Starr is talking about transferring the fat cells from a donor, from another person, hence rejection.

Exactly.
I won't mind having to keep taking anti-rejection pills and other things like that so rejection is not an issue but I'd like to know if the breast fat transplant has ever been done before because I really want to have breasts but don't want those bowl-like implants that don't even look or feel real.
I wonder also what they are doing with the breasts that have been removed from women's bodies.
Starr,
This is getting grotesque! I think you need to see a therapist for this obsession. GG-J cup sizes is an unreal goal. Loni Anderson (WKRP), the actress, did get breast reduction surgery before she started acting. The weight was messing up her back as with those other women that did have that procedure.

Well, Starr, you can't just walk into a doctor's office and request such a procedure and get it. Processes like fat grafting, transplants and any other medical procedures have to pass years of peer discussion as well as approval by medical associations and, perhaps, legal entities. Even if some doctor was willing to try that it would easily be 5-10 years before he could. As I understand it, most doctors even discourage fat grafting from the same person's body because of various risk issues. I doubt you'd ever find a real MD who would consider such transplant.
I agree with you that conventional silicon implants often come out less than ideal in appearance, though many do, as Playboy magazine likes to demonstrate. Realistically, that's probably going to be your only real option.
