I had 2 fat grafts done to correct asymmetry in my breast (January 2013 and summer 2013). The difference was about a cup size (A and B). I immediately noticed the fat disappearing after the 1st procedure. After the 2nd procedure I had even C's. But the fat has been slowly disappearing. I'm down to a B and large A.
