Will losing a small amount of weight shortly after a fat graft to the breast result in my grafts not taking well?

Asked By:Amy870 in Beverly Hills, CA

I’m 5ft10, 150 lbs usually. Had BA 2 yrs ago but my implants began to ripple and implants were v visible. My surgeon said I had insufficient fat covering the implant and fat grafting would solve this. 2 weeks ago I had fat transfer from thighs to breasts and they look great. I normally eat healthily but I went on holiday last week and after overindulging gained 5 pounds. I want to lose this, but will losing weight in this early stage affect my fat grafts? Most of the weight gain is on my thighs.
