Dr. Robert Whitfield explains where fat goes during breast fat grafting: in the fatty plane between skin and breast tissue, never into implant pockets or breast tissue itself. Multiple small passes prevent clumping and ensure even survival, creating natural fullness without the artificial upper-pole bulge of implants.
The third part is placement. And so the placement's important. So it doesn't go where an implant was before, if you had an implant. It doesn't go in the breast tissue. It goes between the skin and the breast tissue in the fatty plane. So that's the most important, you know, 3 aspects of this. And you're augmenting that fatty plane. That's why it looks natural. This kind of Confusion about what looks natural and having a lot of upper pole fullness is really not natural. And having a lot of upper pole fullness is really not natural. That's an augmented look with an implant. So we don't do it in a big lump, if you will, or a big bolus of fat because that wouldn't distribute evenly. You want to do evenly distributed passes. This allows the fat to be not clumped in areas, and that matters. The transferred fat has to heal in that position.
