Is this normal after breast lift with fat graft and liposuction 10 days ago? (Photos)

October 27, 2018
Asked By:Dede42 in Germany

I had a breast lift with fat graft 9 days ago. The fat was harvested from my flanks.I sent these pictures to my PS and he said all seems normal, just apply some moisturizer like after too much sun. But I would be more reassured if you could give me a second opinion. Overall I feel good and I don’t have fever, but the red area DOES feel warm to touch, it’s hard, itchy, VERY NUMB, and my skin is peeling, the new skin is kind of wet and sensitive... should I be worried?

Will lipo and fat grafting help even out asymmetric breasts and torso /hips from scoliosis? (photos)
Connie Hiers, MD, FACS says:

You did not show your breasts, so I cannot be specific. However, for small aysmmetries, fat transfers can help even out breasts sizes. You would do well with liposuction to the flanks and abdomen, but this will not correct the scoliosis.

Is it possible to go from a B (with skin) to a large C in one session?
Kenneth Hughes, MD says:

Would two breast fat transfers mean twice the amount of scars? Can lasers address the scarring?
Connie Hiers, MD, FACS says:

Usually for the second fat transfer, the same incisions can be used if fat is removed from the same area as with the first transfer. Micro-needling or laser could help improve scarring in most people.
