After about a month of being a voyeur I decided to go ahead and set up an account. I am scheduled for lipo and fat transfer to the breast in just over a month. I have run the gamut from scared to death what the hell am I thinking to extremely exited about how great I will look. I have been self conscious about my thighs ever since I was a teenager and vowed that I would do something about it one day. I started putting away a little money years ago and it suddenly dawned on me this year that I had enough and there was no reason why I couldn't go for an evaluation. I never considered enhancing my breasts but once I learned about fat transfer I thought why not. I used to be a very full C and then I lost about 40 pounds. My breasts turned into little sacs. Given my body style and the state of my breasts I was the perfect candidate for fat transfer.
I appreciate everyone's posts. It has been extremely helpful to understand the different experiences and all of the suggestions from diets to clothing.
My stats: 43 years old; 5'1"; 128; very physically active; small waist, large thighs; breasts 34 large B/small C
Initial Concerns
1. lumps from lipo
2. butt looking and/or getting bigger
3. getting swelling down before going back to work (1.5 weeks)
4. heat rash/issues from compression garment - I have that problem without tight clothes
5. sagging skin - the skin on my thighs is already a little loose in my opinion
6. stretch marks
As I go through this process I will try to give the good the bad and the ugly.

Thank You

Thank you all for the encouraging notes. It definitely helps reassure me.
I'm stepping up my activity and being more careful with my diet so I can be as fit as possible pre-surgery. My main motivation is a faster recovery but of course less fat in my legs means more harvest opportunities in other areas to have enough volume. The doctor pointed out a few extra places if needed. I'm hoping it's needed :)
I am drinking nothing but "detox" water that is supposed to help with bloating and inflammation. 2 quarts water, 2 lemons, 1/2 large cucumber, 10+ mint leaves, adjust to taste. It is very refreshing. My plan is to cut alcohol now but I have a few events in the next month that may tempt me to have one or two. I will at least drastically reduce it.

I may be going overboard but I have never had surgery before so I'm taking all precautions.

I had lipo done to my mid-section, inter leg around knee and thighs around 18 years ago. It has never come back, or ever been lumpy. When all of the healing was complete, it was a natural. After a few years, my breast became a little larger and maybe a little thicker in the shoulders. I am sure that I had gained some weight, and the fat has to go somewhere. I have stayed with in 10lbs of my lipo weight over the last 18 years. I was told to massage the lipo places with oil to help make sure no lumps and the skin stayed smooth. Ask your Dr. but I really think that was very important. Lipo has come so far now I can only believe that you will have no problems. FOLLOW YOUR DRS. ORDERS and enjoy your new thighs.

Rdg- this is a cool comment. I like that you had lipo 18 yrs ago w/such good results. Very encouraging. My lipo results are not perfect but I know it is alot of the skill of the doctor. Interesting that you gained in your breasts as well. That is always a bonus & I am wondering if that will happen to me! Thanks for posting your experience. Amelia
