5 year update

Hi Everyone! Its been awhile since I updated this review. In my last 2014 update, I had undergone a muscle repair and fat necrosis removal. My muscle was about 80% fixed, I still have some flexion deformity when I move a certain way. I had some fat necrosis removed, and this made my upper pole less full. Overall I am still very happy with my decision. I retained alot of volume. My only regret is ever getting breast implants in the first place. My breasts will get larger or smaller depending if I gain or lose weight. I may get a breast lift someday in the future when I am done having kids.

Update 11/27/2014

Its been awhile since I've updated this review. A lot has happened since then some good some bad, but for the most part I am still happy I had this procedure. About a year after I had my grafting, I unfortunately had some fat necrosis on my right breast about the size of a small egg. I ended up getting some of the necrosis removed. However, there are 2-3 small spots that feel like small pebbles under the skin. You can't really see them, but if you feel carefully, you can find them. They don't bother me, but someday I might get them removed. MY breasts still look good and I don't regret having this procedure at all. The only thing I regret is ever getting breast implants in the first place because it damaged my pectoral muscles. This procedure saved the look of my breasts. I wear a 36 C/D bra. Hope this helps!

Hi everyone!

I am almost 3 months out, and at this point the doctor says what I have now is my final size. My breast size has gone down slightly, but they are still very big! I am wearing a 36 C/D depending on the bra. I have no lumps or unevenness. My lipo areas look great, although 2 of my incisions sites have been slower to heal. I bough this cream called Biafine, which is working wonders to heal the incisions wounds. I will post pics later today!

After doing a lot of research (especially on this site) I came across Dr. Placik's photos of his results with fat grafting breast aug. I was very impressed, and after consulting with this staff, decided to move ahead with the procedure.
