Would a 1lb weight fluctuation affect fat graft results?

February 28, 2023
Asked By:velvetcrush1 in Chicago, Illinois

Hello! I understand the importance of maintaining weight after this procedure, which I closely monitor and fully intend to do. My question is, if I end up gaining 1 lb, and then losing that 1 lb to return to my pre-op weight, is this going to affect my breasts? I know dramatic weight fluctuations a no-no, but sometimes a lb gain is just bound to happen if I have social events, holidays, etc. I apologize as this may also sound like a silly question.
