Hi! Curious about the procedure, have not contacted surgeons about this yet. Are compression garments required for the breast after fat transfer? Or just the areas where liposuction from performed require compression garments? How long are garments typically worn?
4 years ago i had a breast lift and my breasts became pointy in a way i dont like. My dr recommended i get a fat transfer to improve the shape. While explaining the recovery, she said i will wear the same compression bra i wore after my breast lift surgery. I'm confused..won't doing that cause the fat to die?
Hi! I'm scheduled for a breast fat transfer next month. I am slender (5'6, 116 pounds), but the plastic surgeon thought he could harvest enough fat from my inner and outer thighs for the transfer to breast. The thing that surprised me was he said I won't need to wear compression on my thighs after the liposuction procedure. He said the seams from compression garments can cause indents or irregularities. Is this unusual advice or pretty typical? I had expected compression.
I had fat transfer from my back (love handles) and stomach, to my chest. Ive worn a compression garment all around my waist (from low chest to my hips), where the fat was taken from. What does the compression garment do and what are the benefits of continuing using it (as recommended by my surgeon)? Is it better to have It very tight or could this lead to complications? Im just very curious on what this compression garment does.
So my question is regarding being able to perform butt workouts a week after I had a fat transfer to my breasts done. Between the doctor having taken fat from around my Butt, to this compression garment constricting my Butt, it's getting flat. If I make sure not to get my heart rate up, can I do this without adversely affecting my fat transfer ?
Will fat transfer to breasts last? Will it cause lumpiness? Will the liposuction sites be scarred/lumpy/uneven? Do I really have to wear a compression garment for 6 weeks (and what would happen if I only wore it for 2 or 3 weeks)? If I have fat transfer and a small implant, will the implant be detectable by my partner or look 'fake'?
