Injections To Make Breasts Larger

Two of the very most popular cosmetic plastic surgery procedures are liposuction and breast augmentation.  Liposuction involves the removal of fat in unwanted areas and breast augmentation involves breast enlargement through placement of an implant.  Wouldn’t it be great if plastic surgeons could just use the fat that has been removed with liposuction instead of an implant and kill two birds with one stone?  Well actually, this is quite possible!  Fat grafting has been around for years but is gaining momentum as a hot new cosmetic surgery and reconstructive surgery procedure.

Early fat grafting dates back to the late 1800′s, however significant advances in technique have occurred more recently. The basic problem with fat grafting is trying to get the fat to survive. Newer techniques include micro fat harvesting and injection of small beads of fat with smaller cannulas with meticulous handling of the fat from harvest to injection. Fat grafting is quite useful in facial rejevenation for replacement of volume lost with facial aging. Popular areas for injection include the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and lip augmentation.  This technique has also been used for breast augmentation but there has been a great deal of concern among many plastic surgeons that grafting into the breast may not be safe.  Injections To Make Breasts Larger

In 2007, a task force was formed by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons to look at the safety and effectiveness of fat grafting and set some general guidelines. The conclusion of this task force as it relates to fat grafting for breast augmentation was that it was an acceptable practice. There were several problems with fat grafting in breasts that were pointed out that need to be considered.

There can be areas where the graft does not survive leading to calcification
Calcification can potentially be misleading on mammography
Physicians should be cautious with fat grafting in patients at high risk of breast cancer
The amount of fat that survives can be difficult to predict, and may need to be repeated many times
The procedure is very time intensive and as a result quite expensive

There are only a handful of plastic surgeons who currently use fat grafting for breast augmentation.  Most prefer breast implants as they have been time tested and extensively studied.  It will be interesting to see what the future holds in this arena. Injections To Make Breasts Larger

Are injections not to menstruate effective for breast cancer, at the age of 50?

It’s called hormone blockage, and IT IS a standard treatment for cancer. Three official studies have shown it is as effective as chemo and a fourth has shown it’s even better, for estrogen positive cancers.
