Considering breast fat transfer during GLP-1 treatment? Bring five questions to your consultation.

1. What does the operation involve?

Fat transfer uses liposuction to collect fat from another body area, then injects it into the breasts. Ask which donor areas would be assessed. [1]

2. Does the proposed increase match my goal?

ASPS describes this option for a relatively small breast-size increase. Ask what is feasible after an examination, rather than choosing a promised cup size. [1]

3. What complications should I weigh?

ASPS lists cysts, infection, small calcium deposits and fat-cell death. Ask how these risks would be monitored and which symptoms require contact. [2]

4. Could I need another procedure?

ASPS notes that touch-up injections may be needed to retain the changed shape. Ask about follow-up, possible additional treatment and its cost. [2]

5. Who plans my GLP-1 medication?

For general anesthesia or deep sedation, tell the team about GLP-1 use. Most patients can continue medication; coordinate instructions with the anesthesiologist, surgeon and prescriber. [3]
