Day 8 and I so delighted with my results, boobs have shrunk a bit but that's to be expected, had dressings taked off yesterday and everything is healing great, my scares r barely noticeable, he,s done a fab job,, still don't know how much fat was put in each boob, the nurse couldn't read docs writing, It was called autologous fat transfer , what ever that is,,boobs r still bruised but not painful at all, the fat donor site is still a bit sore,if any of u ladies have this done I highly recommend a belvia bra, u can buy them fom boots 14.99 and its been a god send, I have wore it for 24 hours a day and don't feel,like I,m wearing anything at all, yet it's still very supportive , I,v uploaded new photo, taken today

Hi Mandy ..... It looks like I may be back on to have my Fat Transfer :-) THANK GOD... I just need reminding how long it took for ALL your bruising to go?? It looks like I may have to have my Surgery Towards the end of May/Early June but I'm going on Holiday July 5th and really don't want any Lipo brusing whilst sunning myself.... Will 4weeks be enough??

Hi, thanks so much for sharing your story. I'm really wanting to have my implants removed but I'm naturally quite flat chested so fat transfer looks like a great idea! Are you allowed to say where you had this amazing job done? Its just I'm from the Northeast but would totally come to Birminham for those results, :-)

You look good! Keep us updated at 3 mths & 6 mths w/photos if you don't mind. Did you use Brava? I don't think so..I get confused w/everyone's stories.

Thank you, no I didn't use brava, had implants out and fat grafting all in one surgery, over and done with ;-)

Hi Gemma, don't worry about the questions, I was the same b4 my opp, glad to help you, I,v been back at work a week now and I have found it quite hard, still a bit sore around my back and it seems to have travelled round to my ribs now, the bruising on my back has all gone but it still feels bruised, the hospital gave me a sick note for 2 weeks but I only had 1 week off , I think really I should have had the 2,my boobs r still bruised but I have no pain in them and my scares are barely noticeable , I think they they have shrunk a bit more since I loaded the last pics on here, I have an appointment to see mr Ali next week , just a check up so I,l ask him if they will shrink any more, I hope not, I will up load more pics once all bruising has gone, I don't know why it's taking so long, did u have your consultation with mr Ali , how was it ?

Oh dear ... Sorry to hear your return to work hasn't been great but glad to hear your visable bruising has gone. I'd be interested to know how much more he thinks they may shrink too as in your pics they still look quite big, considering your implant free. No my appt is on 19th now,,., still some time to catch up & follow your recovery until then ;-)

Hi Gemma , saw mr Ali today, he told me I should stay this size now which is about 1 cup size bigger than I was b4 BA, I have put new pics on so have a look and see what u think, and let me kno how u get on at your consultation
  • Reply
I got an email notification to say you'd updated your pictures.... They look great. Are you pleased?? I presume, by the pictures & being aprox 1cup size bigger, that you weren't that small prior to your BA?? I was a small A/B cup before my BA.... And I'm now an A :-( I'm really looking forward to my consultation on Tues. fingers x'd it goes well. How are the areas that he took the fat from ? Recovering well?

I was small b4' small a cup, I think I'm a b now, look at pics on my other profile u will see b4 photo, I am pleased and my back is still a bit painful but it doesn't stop me doing anything ,

Hi Mandy, today is the day for my Consultation (I'm so excited I could burst) I just need to find the money now HA HA. How are you? Is your bruising disappearing yet??
  • Reply
Hi Gemma good luck at your consultation, and yes all bruising gone now, it will be 4 weeks tomorrow and I'm still happy with my results, let me know how u get on
  • Reply
Hi Mandy .... So my Consultation went well (Although Mr Ali joked in ref to finding any Fat to harvest from my body) ...... I am calling today to book my surgery for 6th April.... I'm online ordering Magic Knickers (which he advised due to where he's going to take the Fat from) and also looking at Bra's .... Did you find the Belvina Bra supportive enough ??
  • Reply
Hi Gemma , glad u got it sorted, he couldn't get much fat off me either, that's why I only got 70 ml each breast, the belvia bra bra is really supportive and very comfortable, and easy to sleep in because breasts r so tender for a week or so. I still wear mine now around the house . U can only get them from boots, Asda , I think maybe wilkinsons to .so when r u hoping to have surgery , how much did he quote u , if u don't mind me asking
  • Reply
I've already purchased some Magic Knockers from EBay & a black & white bra (looks just like the Belvina) so fingers x'd. I'm booked Sun 7th April xxx
  • Reply
Not to long to wait, good luck, keep me posted , I,m really interested to see how I get on, I think mr Ali should pay me commission lol
  • Reply
My husband did say during the consultation that you should get commission !!! He's had a massive response since your posting, from ALL OVER the world!! It's amazing what the Internet can achieve!! Please keep the site & more importingly me posted on your recovery until I have my surgery. Do you think you've list anymore ??

He didn't offer any commission when I saw him but I have to see him again in June so I might mention it , don't think I will get any where with it tho, worth a try, I might get some fee treatment, ha ha, I'm still same size , 1 cup size bigger, I was very small b4 , as u can see by my pics , would have liked to gain a bit more to be honest but he did tell me at consultation that it would only be half or possibly 1 size difference

Hi Mandy, I am looking into fat transfer myself. I had my implants removed in Oct 2011 and have been left with no breast tissue & very wrinkled excess skin. I don't want implants again but need something ..... Can you let me know how your breasts are now, how long recovery was & who you went to in the uk? Thanks Gemma
  • Reply
Hi Gemma, my surgeon was mr mahboob Ali ,(honestly) he works in West Midlands, I had mine done in halesowen, I checked him out b4 I had surgery and he has really good revues, he also works for NHS doing reconstructive surgery to breast to cancer patients, , so far I am really pleased, most of the pain was where they took fat from (my back) , the first 2-3 days were pretty painful but I'm on day 4 now and feel much better, only took 1 lot of pain killers today ,I will up load more photo,s and if look on my other profile which is on the implant removal page , u can see my b4 pics, good luck, keep me updated

Thanks Mandy, do you mind me asking how much your procedure cost?! I have been in contact with a couple of clinics in the B'ham area today & they all seem on par cost wise. Are you going back for a refill/top up in a few months too?! I'll have a look at your other profile now. Thanks
  • Reply
WOW.... I actually checked Mr Mehboob Ali's profile on the Dpire Health page- he works at the Droitwich Spire clinic also (if that's the right surgeon). I saw from your removal profile that he did the procedure in one foul swoop for £3700?! The clinics I've been in contact with are quoting £6500 - Are there diff types of fat transfer?! I've just emailed him
