“Lipo W/ Fat Transfer to Breast - Pittsburgh, PA”

Not Sure
Spent: $8,900 in Pittsburgh, PA
Spent: $8,900 in Pittsburgh, PA
I am 29 yrs old with 2 children ages 7 & 14 mnths, but of whom I nursed. I am 5'7 and weigh 148lbs. I've been terribly unhappy with my body since I've had my first child but didn't want to have any "major" surgeries because I still plan to have more children. Prior to having children my I wore 34D, now I'm an "empty 34C". I was told that doing lipo on my already loose stomach would only make things worste so instead, the dr will do lipo on my love handles and hips to get an adequate fat supply to transfer to my breast.
I told myself after my first child that I wouldn't spend this type of money knowing that I anticipate at least one more child but my happiness and confidence are more important to me- even if that means repeating the process again.I'm scheduled to have surgery in 3 more days, I'll be updating my profile with before and after pix very soon.

Here I am almost 4 days post op and I feel better by the day :) The surgery lasted nearly 7 hours and I had local anesthesia so was awake the whole time. The surgeon ended up taking fat from my thighs, flanks, and a little from my belly for the transfer. The actual lipo hurt alot less than the application of the anesthesia surpisingly. I don't know what the final results will be just yet, but I will say that I'm happy thus far... I'll have to see how I look after all of the swelling goes down to get a final answer. Here a some before and after pic's taken the day of the surgery and then again on day 4.

Good luck today! I hope everything goes well for you.
I'm about 1 month out and I'm wearing a 3/4 instead of 9/10 and I'm back to a 34 D so I'm more than pleased :)
On another note, I did research for over a year before I finally decided to have the surgery and I am pleased for the most part. I do remember my doctor telling me from the beginning that a second surgery may be necessary to acheive the best results so maybe a doctor like mine can help. Prior to the surgery I had to get a mammogram and a sonnogram and any possible or prior breast cancer surgery would have ruled me out as a candidate for my doctor but I'm sure there are other physicians who can help you.
Best of luck to you and if you have any other questions, I'll do my best to help from my own experiences.....
I'm planning to update my profile with new pics soon. Unfortunately, I do not have permission from my doctor to share his information on a public forum... It really sucks because I'm pleased and with my results and think it could help him....
If you google fat transfer- pittsburgh, he's always in the top three. You should do a conusultation with all of them to find the one who's right for you.
Wow, your breasts look great! And so does your body, thanks so much for sharing those pictures.
Thank you for sharing.
I just learned about this procedure. The doctor I visited has his office in the Tampa Bay area... he claims to do many fat drafts to the breast, however, most are from Cancer pts. He has done several procedures as breast augmentation and claims to have good control of the fat placement and outcome. I originally went to see him for a tummy tuck... so because he automatically does lipo on his tummy tuck pts, he suggested to do the fat graft onto breast for only $2500.
I'm hesitant, scared of the procedure (bc it's lipo), not so much of the tummy tuck bc I've had a C-seccion before... so I know how that goes... but the process is scary to me... do you have any updated pictures of what you look like now?
