What’s the best way to retain fat in breast after fat transfer? Protein shakes, iron supplements etc?

Question

Protein shakes, iron supplements, no drinking alcohol, not working out the chest area?

Robert M. Tornambe, MD · Answer

LAW412.   I appreciate your proactive approach, but supplements, protein shakes and abstaining from alcohol will not affect your result. However, avoiding exercises involving the chest and chest muscles for two or three months after surgery is a good idea. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon and follow postop advice. Good luck.

Protein shakes and avoiding alcohol (unless in excess) are not going to help. Avoiding smoking would be helpful. Follow your surgeon's advice. They should go over this with you. The nurse in the office is also a great resource.
