Short conversational YouTube video (shorts) featuring Robert Whitfield MD describing clinical experience with fat transfer for breast augmentation and cancer reconstruction. Whitfield notes he has performed fat transfers since 20045 (spoken as "045" in transcript), emphasizes that fat transfer gives a naturally fuller breast rather than the degree of enlargement an implant provides, and that adequate donor fat (BMI) is required for candidates. The clip contrasts fat transfer results with implants (implants can push out fat) and remarks some patients are not informed about fat transfer as an option.

I think the.
For us. I mean, I've been doing fat transfers to the breast since.
045.
Crazy.
And mostly for cancer reconstruction purposes. But I mean augmentations work well. It's just. It's not ever going to be like an implant. Because an implant.
Right. It looks different.
Yeah. And it's. Implants push out the fat. Can't do that. So.
Right.
If you just want more of a naturally larger appearing, fuller breast and that's totally. Fat transfer is good. If you have fat, obviously for the folks who are tiny or just low bmi, then that's usually not going to work for them. But there's a whole host of people who get offered or that explanation was never given them. Given to them.
Right. And I feel like even if it was offered to me, I didn't know about bii. So even if they're like, oh, we could do a fat transfer, I probably wouldn't have done it because it sounds more invasive. But now, knowing what I know now, it's like that's kind of the obvious choice in my opinion.
