Asked By:Fierce2456 in Los Angeles, California

Can you rest a pillow or a blankets on your chest during the first few days after a fat transfer to the breast? How do you know how much pressure is too much pressure that might kill the fat? Why do some surgeons require you to wear a compression bra in order to prevent the transferred fat from dislodging, while other surgeons advise against wearing any type of compression bras? How much compression is too much compression for the breasts after fat transfer? Can you reach your arm eye level?
