I am having a tummy tuck and liposuction in a month, and my surgeon and I have been discussing the possibility of fat transfer to my breasts. My surgeon advised that at least 50% of the fat transferred in my breasts would be reabsorbed in my body. I am wondering now, will it be absorbed and redistributed everywhere, including in the areas that were just suctioned off? If so, wouldn't that be counterproductive to the tummy tuck & liposuction? Thank you for your advice.
