Fat Graft to Breasts!!! Best Surgeon Right Here! - Beverly Hills, CA

Hi BellasFatTransReview- Over the last few years I have noticed a trend in regards to implant removal. Those who had larger breasts to begin with have a much better end result after removing implants. On the other hand, those like me who had very little breasts or chest fat have a horrible result upon removal. Each time the implants are removed some of the natural breast tissue is removed as well. Also, it depends on how much you scar around the implant. If you experience capsular contracture that is the natural breast tissue hardening and essentially becoming dead tissue. This tissue is lost with each subsequent removal/replacement. So, if you have very little tissue to lose in the first place you end up with thin skin and the muscle wall and nothing else. This was my predicament and the thin skin attaches down to the muscle wall in a rippled effect and it hurts. There is a constant painful tugging/pulling sensation with every movement of the underlying muscle. I am glad you were able to remove your implants and have a decent end result. If you saw my results you would not consider it an acceptable to live with situation; nobody would. So for all the very skinny girls out there with small breasts, I highly recommend staying far away from implants. They may seem cool while you're young but as you get older and have to get mammo's or experience other troubling symptoms, the coolness wears off!! Bellas congrats on your results and small breasts are ok. Some guys actually like smaller breasts. Plus big real ones eventually sag. ;)

boobies128- If your implants are the 1st set and still relatively new, chances are you will look your normal after explantation. It is usually when you have had them a long time and removed & replaced with tissue loss each time that would make you a candidate for corrective surgery. I wouldn't get too worked up you might come out of this not needing the fat grafting. I had implants for 18yrs, remove/replaced 7yrs ago and removed again this yr and had tissue loss during the various procedures. I was left with no tissue on left breast at all. I had to do the fat graft to look "normal".
Does Dr Khouri take credit cards or CareCredit? CareCredit works like a credit card. You can apply thru their website and they send you a plastic card that is revolving medical credit. I paid mine off and had the original amount of credit available to use other places and used it at my dentist office already.

Hi Gardeniian-
I believe he did suction assisted lipo with a small cannula. I am not sure. Yes he used stem cells. I do not know who trained Dr Rogers and no, I did not use the BRAVA system.

I forgot to mention something on the cost. You can have fat graft done from 1-2 donor sites under local anesthesia which will keep your cost way down. If it involves the surgical center and full anesthesia (tko) then the cost is greatly affected. Both of my procedures involve the surgical center and being completely knocked out because of the various donor sites. I don't have enough fat from stomach or 1 area to do the whole procedure. Since you haven't seen my whole figure to give you an idea, most people upon first impression think I am either younger or anorexic. Neither applies. I'm 40yrs old and scrawny, that's it. I'm not bragging here. I wish I had more curves. So without a lot of fat storage the doctor has to go to various sites to get enough fat to do anything with it. If you're slender and/or small plan on the surgery involving being totally knocked out and several donor sites.
