Not an Easy Recovery by Any Means. Hope the Fat Takes! - Bellevue, WA

UPDATED FROM sputnik

Second fat transfer did the trick. Over 2 years later and staying put...

I had my procedure repeated about a year later (fat transfer to butt), which meant I was fortunate to have a few other areas fat could be harvested from. The result: A better result second time around. My fat has stuck and my contours have continued to increase and improve since the 2nd procedure. The added volume worked wonders. When I experience slight gains in my weight now, it has a tendency to go to my bottom.

Though my results were not as hoped, this does not mean I was unhappy with my doctor. I did months of studying on stem cell fat transfer before my procedure and selected a doctor based on this knowledge.I selected him based on his experience with stem cell fat transfer, the high volume of them he performed and verifiably happy patients.

Hi i've been looking through your posts looking for your doctors name(s). Did the same dr do your second round? I know your dr may have moved but it is still helpful for people who are looking at historical reviews of a dr's work.

My doctor was forthcoming about possible results (good and bad), post operative care and that not all patients achieve their desired results. Since I was having lipo, I figured I'd attempt a fat transfer at the same time. You win some, you lose some. In the end, my body contours are 100% better simply from the lipo... a better fat take would've just been the icing on the cake.

Per popular demand for an update- things are pretty much the same. Not much fat took. Considering the amount of pain, cost and mediocre results- wasn't worth it. Looks like I'm not alone.

Guess what? Men are getting fat transfers to their flat butts too. My physician said it's gaining in popularity, though they complain a lot more about the pain involved with the procedure.

It's about time! haha

I know, pretty funny huh? I can just picture it...poor guy writhing around on the table. It does hurt, oh boy does it ever. In a way, I was glad my doc said there wasn't enough fat to do a second harvest to add more volume simply becuase the pain was so intense during and after surgery. It was nice to have the decision made for me in that sense.

Did get my repeat lipo done a few weeks ago. They sucked out quite a bit more fat and my contours are looking much better. Much easier recovery and not nearly as much bruising the second time around.
