I'm 22 years old, 5'2" tall, and weigh 115lbs. I'm a 34B and really do not want to get implants so I've decided fat transfer is my best bet to get up to a C cup. I'm also getting personal training at the moment and will be losing weight and gaining muscle in the next couple of months. Should I get the procedure sooner rather than later?
