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.
Answer: Stable Weight Hello there You should aim to keep your weight as stable as you can . Your current diet should be fine .Weight loss may compromise your fat grafts , and weight gain can impair the results of the liposuction .So 'steady as you go ' .CheersTS

Answer: Fat retention I would try not to lose too much weight after the procedure. The implant selection should be based on a combination of your desired size, soft tissue dynamics, breast base diameter and skin elasticity. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).

Answer: Is there an ideal diet to maximize fat survival in my breasts and not undo lipo results? If you are in good general health, and all medical conditions have been managed; adequate protein intake as well as a multivitamin can be useful. No need to increase calories or carbs.
