Potential benefits are that the fat is your own tissue so there is no foreign material. The potential downsides however are that the fat may not take entirely and can become hard and lumpy, it can appear as concerning on mammograms and cause panic about potential breast cancer and that the amount you can increase your breast size is limited by the amount of fat you have elsewhere to harvest. As this procedure has only been around for a decade or so we also don’t know the long term safety of it. Hope that helps!
