Lipo W/ Fat Transfer to Breast - Pittsburgh, PA

$8,900
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.

I'm planning on doing the fat transfer myself to my beasts.. I was a bit nervous about it ..seeing your before and after I can't wait.
I have four kids and nursed all four..the last one until she was 2and a half. I'm ready for a full 34c

Here I am almost 4 days post op and I feel better...
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.

i think it was totally worth it! my surgeon told me they dont do that procedure. Sure wouldve been nice for them to have taken the lipo fat from my flanks and put them in my breast! Oh well! Happy healing...

I do know that this surgery isn't performed by a lot of doctors,some time back the surgery was frowned upon but new techniques have definitely brought a larger "fan base". Anyhow, thanks for your comment :)

hi I am thinking of having this also ! how long will it last ? I think you look great !

Thank you !! From what I've been told, I'll see my final results after 3 months. That's supposed to be when all bruising/ swelling is done and all the surviving fat has settled.
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 :)

Looks like your surgery was successful---- your body looks wonderful. I have been researching fat transfers to the breast for a few months now, as I had a 13 hour surgery last Oct. 2010 ( re: following breast cancer ) that gave me a tummy tuck, removed all my existing breast tissue and then used my tummy fat to rebuild 2 new breasts. Since then I had many complications and the final result is that my right breast did not heal properly and I eventually lost the nipple and a small portion of tissue in that area. I now have a very deformed breast and the surgeon would like to operate again but it would mean that the right breast will end up smaller again than the other. I hope to find a surgeon that would consider a fat transfer to rebuild the scarred, deformed breast. Anyways best wishes--- you have won. !!! gerribc

Wow, you've definitely experienced a lot but the most wonderful part of your story is that you WON your battle- CONGRATULATIONS.
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.....
