I got a sports bra in a size large. Turned out too big but it was really nice and comfortable to use so have kept it. Also, wearing this made me see more the improvement to both of my breasts from the Procedure. No way would they have stood so well in such sports bra before. Lol. They would probably have been peeping thru d bottom of it.

I'm very interested to know how they have settled. Have you retained much fat? I'd like to have this done myself and considering the same doctor.

Hello, I'm planning on booking a consultation with Dr O. A year post first op have you managed to retain your fat transfer? Did you need a follow up procedure to resolve the asymmetrical issue?

So once I had woken up on day two and taken my pain killer, I really did not feel so bad. We therefore decided to go for a slow and short walk in town. I felt drowsy at first and I thot although it might have been d procedure, it might also have been because I had not had much to eat for over 24 hours, LOL. So I stopped and got some carbs-filled snack and munched on this as we started our walk. I must say I immediately felt stronger. Our short walk which started with me taking short, painful steps turned into about three hours long and the pain gradually just subsided. I really enjoyed the day out and although I had my painkillers with me, I did not feel the discomfort I constantly had was enough for me to take them. Hence I only took the painkillers once we got back to our hotel about 4 hours after we left and I was absolutely fine. However, getting into and out of the car was a feat in endurance. The pain was deep. And so with sitting and standing anywhere. But apart from dt I actually constantly forgot I had just had a procedure done.

Hi, I met with Dr Oelbrandt yesterday with plans of lipo to the stomach. However, he asked if I wanted to recycle the fat so I am now debating whether to do this. How are things for you now? Still good? Still happy? We discussed a transfer to the breasts and a small amount to the bottom as I am already quite peachy lol. Any comments will be appreciated as I'm sure you can imagine, the doubts/questions/excitement that comes before. :)

Hello jae528. I have to say nearly a year down my boobs look much better than they did before the procedure. I did not go back to dr O for post op follow up, but I intend to take up his offer of discounted further transfers if done within two years of the original procedure. The reason being although my boobs look much more similar and same size, they are not exact. So I want a bit more fat transferred to hopefully make them just as I want them. Although I'm quite happy even now. Key thing though to note about fat transfers. U might already have read about how d fat can harden and cause bumps? Well, I had read about dt so for the first three months after my transfer I religiously massaged d boobs. After three months it is supposed to have settled hence I stopped d massage then and my boobs were quite smooth. But at about 3.5 months I started feeling d bumps. They are much more obvious in d breast dt had more fat transferred to it. They started off being quite bulky and one protruded out a bit so it was visible as well. They have gone down but can still be felt slightly, 11 months down d line. I do see dt they are geadullay going down so hope they all dissolve of their own. But as I said I intend to go back to dr O for consultation at he one year stage so I'm sure he will advise if there is a need for him to drain d calcified fat out, that is IF they are still there. Otherwise I'm hoping to have more fat taken off my back and stomach and transferred to my breasts later this year.

Also, I think it's important to note that, when u read dt d fat does drop a bit after d initial transfer, this indeed is true. Dt O did warn me fat transfer does not give a breast lift effect and I was fine with this as I want a more natural look. But be aware dt possibly depending on d amount of fat transferred, u might get a bit more drop than u originally started with. Again natural, I guess, given there is more fat in d breast. I still like mine much more than before, even with the slight drop.

Thank you so much for your detailed response! I'm just worried about starting something and causing myself more problems or getting carried away as my original reason for going to Dr O was lipo, he asked if I wanted to recycle the fat and here I am considering it. Why do you want more fat removed if you don't mind me asking? Have you gained any weight since also? This is a concern of mine as I eat well anyway but holidays and occasions when we tend to indulge (well I do anyway haha) I wouldn't want to spoil the lipo.
