Implants Removed, and Fat Transfer - Charlotte, NC

I had my implants removed and fat grafting/transfer to my breasts. I chose this procedure because I wanted to feel natural. I also wanted my implants out forever. I am 59 years old and had my first implants at age 24. I researched the fat graft/transfer procedure, and plastic surgeons for several months. 

I am 5 weeks post surgery. I feel great, and look great too! I no longer have the round look of implants. Dr. Bedner was able to put the fat in the right places to give my a lovely feminine shape, including cleavage which I never had. Oh, then there is the side benefit of fat taken away from my stomach, saddlebags gone, thighs slimmer, and a cuter shape to my derrière. Oh my such a pleasing outcome!

Ok folks, can you tell how please this 59 year old patient is :) Yes I totally recommend this procedure, I must also say, CHOOSE YOUR DOCTOR WISELY!

I went bra shopping for the first time since surgery. Did not figure it out so bought none. Today tried on bras that I wore with implants... They fit! I was amazed that I look so much better and so natural that I also thought my size was smaller due to less projection. I am so soft and natural and still a c cup with out looking fake. I love this! Thank you Dr. Bednar. If I figure out how to add pictures I will. I might call Sylvia at office to help.

I am now 3 months post op., and I feel great! My breast have settled to a pretty B cup with a lovely shape, and cleavage. Perfect size for this 5'2" athletic frame, almost 60 year old body. The lipo Dr. B did gave me my premenopausal body back, even better actually! No more saddlebags, no big tummy, a shapely derrière , and a waist! So happy I did this!

Still very happy with results. Just upped my work out time doing Zumba. Used this sight to take photos, but not sure if it worked .

I added photos! Looks really good for someone my age ;)
Thank you Dr. Bednar!

I am still so pleased with my decision to do implant removal, and lipo for fat grafting to the breasts. Some new folks need reassurance for whatever their decisions and I am here to support these ladies. I am adding new photos, and also want everyone to know that I am almost 60 years old. Age does not really matter in most things, but our body does age.

rrrrr, having trouble doing this again. Will try again tomorrow!

Hi everyone! Well, I am almost at the 2 year mark so had a check up with Dr. Bednar. Everyone in the office still lovely as ever!
Now for my report! I am doing great and will share details. At time of surgery height 5'3", weight 140... a little heavy for my height. Surgery went well with 590cc transferred to each breast and fat placement to give me a very pretty shape. And , yes the most painful part was healing from the lipo but that also went very well. I had hoped for a moderate B cup for long term.
So two years later: age: almost 60, weight 118,( 22 lb weight loss), and 5'3". My breast fat is still great. I retained about 70% of fat, and wear a nice B cup. Breasts are soft, natural, and a very pretty shape. I just love it!!! My lipo scars are hard to find. The nurse that was doing photos for the office had to search for them!
I wish I could figure out how to post new photos, but technology foils me! I gave permission for Dr. Bednar's office to publish photos of me. I am also open to any questions, and of course I want to support everyone and their choices as they decide what is right for them.
My decision to do this was a great gift to myself, and I remain very happy I did it!
