Is there an ideal diet to maximize fat survival in my breasts and not undo lipo results?

Shumai81
I am having fat grafting done to my breast (lipo on flanks, abs and inner thigh) and am wondering if there is any diet /nutritional guidelines to help maximize fat survival in my breast, while not undoing my lipo results after surgery? I heard anything from continue my normal diet to switching to a high fat / carb diet for 2 months. As reference, I am in shape, eat a relatively low carb diet that is high in healthy fats, practice intermittent fasting (16/8), and exercise 4-5X a week.
