I am 18days PO after augmentation to correct my tubular shape and increase the size slightly. While I am pleased with the achieved symmetry I am disheartened by the artificial look and rippling. Implants are 255cc round, over the muscle - choices were made because I'm an athlete depending on my pecs heavily and get a lot of chest compression. What kind of result do you think I could achieve with fat grafting w/o changing the implants? I am 5'4 at 100lbs and worried about fat availability.
Answer: Breasts Right now you are very early in your healing phase and need to give yourself time for the swelling to subside and the tissues relax. In about 5 months, then you can realistically evaluate your breasts and see if you prefer any changes.

Answer: Fat injections for breasts I think lipo filling for the breasts would be a very hit or miss type of procedure. If is is successful at all it will likely be only minimally so. You need to balance that against the cost. You already have a nice result. I wouldn’t mess with it.

Answer: Making implants look more natural: What to expect from lipofilling? It's too early in your recovery to jump to conclusions about the size of the implants, the artificial look, and rippling. The final results won’t appear until after you have healed completely and the swelling from the surgery subsides. Swelling dissipation can take from weeks to several months. Try not to judge the final result until the implants drop which depends upon so many factors, including level of dissection, laxity of tissues, size of implant, size of patient, etc.

Answer: Early result thank you for thisplease bear in mind you are very early in your recovery period and you must be patient. You have a unique anatomy with asymmetry and have had good discussions with your surgeon. I am sure they discussed the risks and complications with you.The early result looks excellent and will continue to settle over the weeks and months. Sadly rippling happens in every patient with implants although you are more likely to see it in very slim patients with a thin skin envelopeThere is always an option of fat transfer down the line and this is something you can discuss in due courseGood luck with you recovery!
