Hello! I’m finally 6 months post op from my fat transfer to breasts. The size increase was about 1 cup. I ate alot of healthy food during the recovery but due to social events I binged on a lot of junk food like salt sugar and bad fats after the first couple weeks. I don’t think it made me swell worse, but does junk food kill/encourage less fat cell survival? I have maintained a stable within a couple lbs since the procedure

Answer: Does junk food kill fat cells? Hello @velvetcrush1, thank you for your question. It is true that your diet can impact the results of the procedure, however, eating junk food alone will not "kill" the transferred fat cells. A poor diet, however, can adversely affect your overall body composition, weight, and overall health, which may indirectly affect your fat transfer results. For fat cells to survive in their new location, they must establish a blood supply within weeks of the transfer. To ensure that your body is able to supply these necessary nutrients, it is important to maintain a balanced and healthy diet.Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Food Good food is needed for healing. Junk food provides no nutrition, but can increase weight. Your fat cells don't die by eating Doritos and coke, but neither are helpful or healthy to your body.
