My dream body with Dr. Gavin Dry - Fat transfer breast and Micro-lipo, 28 years

After two years of not working out and eating junk, I have finally decided I want to get back into shape and feel amazing before I turn 30. Liposuction and fat transfer breast augmentation are going to be my kick start to clean eating and work out routine. After surgery I plan on jumping right into marathon training and doing yoga. I may even sign up for Crossfit training, we will see how it goes.
I am writing this review to document my transformation into my dream body. Right now I am very unhappy with the way my things, butt and abdomen look, to the point in which I am embarrassed to wear short-shorts, mini skirts or bikini bottoms. I do not like the shape of my butt and thighs, and I also would like my breast larger, like a full B cup or small C cup. Micro-lipo/fat transfer just seemed perfect for what I am looking for.
The doctor requested that I get a mammogram and blood work before getting approved for surgery. I also have a shower with a special soap the morning of surgery. My medications include strong pain-killer, antibiotic, laxative, anti-motion sickness, and muscle relaxer.

Yes are you posting. I don't see anything. Those before pics are hard to swallow. At least for someone my age !

Hi. What areas are you taking the fat from? Thanks :)

Hi, thanks for the question. He is going to take it from lower abs, outer thighs and love handles.
August 11, 2016
Thanks for getting back to me. I'm scheduled for my procedure at the end of Sept and have been wondering if it'd be helpful to gain weight to have more fat available.

You look amazing right now but I'm so excited to see your results!!

I too am trying to transform my body. I have 3 year old twins and although everyone else thinks I look amazing, I am very unhappy with my body.

I'm very excited for you, the 24th is soon!!

Would you mind taking pics after and posting them?

Thanks so much. :) XO

Yes I will take pictures after surgery and post them! Good luck on your op too. Will you start a blog?
August 12, 2016
Just had the same procedure . I am 9 days post op. I have a lot of swelling and bruising in thighs . My doctor just ordered a diaretic to help get rid of the swelling . My breast feel tingly at times . I wish the doctor made me a full c instead of b,as it is expected to lose about 30% of fat . I didn't realize neither was I informed about how long it can take to see full results as long as 6 months . Hope your surgery goes well .

Thank you and congrats on your surgery! How do your breast feel? are they sore or bruised? My boyfriend knows I'm getting micro-lipo but does not know that I am getting fat transferred to my breast. I'm wondering if he will even notice.

Did your boyfriend notice your boobs got bigger? You only told him about lipo, right?

Haha, yeah I told him the morning out of surgery that I got my boobs larger. He was shocked at first but now he likes them.

I'm having fat transfer August 22. My Pd will only inject 200cc. He said more gets lumpy. I am downsizing so to speak, so can't complain. Good luck. Glad to see others here getting fat transfer to breast. I have not seen many. Must be just getting more popular.

Yeah, I heard if you inject too much dead cells they will form lumps, kinda scary. It is a pretty popular procedure in Seattle. I love that we have this as an option to breast implants. I was afraid if I got implants that they would look to round or stiff because my skin is tight. How are yours looking?

I have OR in one week. I changed plans in June when I was going to exchange implants I had for 18 years I was never happy with. Nothing wrong with them. Hubby dead set against silicone so I am doing a lot TT because of LIPO ism doing for fat and lift. I will post next week so we will see. I hope it works since I am doing way more then planned I see many post they lose half the fat. I don't want too big that was last problem. But I do want as I told doc to fill out my shirt not bust out anymore. He seems pretty confident that fat lasts so I hope I will get was I get because I won't be doing this again.

Luck you, it sounds like you have more skin to fill than me. Dr says the first 72 hours are most important when when body makes new blood vessels with the fat cells. I should go up about half a cup size and thats exactly what I'm looking forward to.

I had 425 cc saline implants. I went from 34a to large 36d. I was never happy. Don't know why I waited so long to fix. Just done with them this year. So yes I have boobs that look like I had a few kids even though I never did. That's why the lift from the stretched out skin. TT because he said I would have hanging skin from LIPO. I want to look better not worse. I am over the top nervous. I keep looking at clock today thinking next Monday at this time I will be.......

I am now 3 weeks post. Looks good. Left is swollen but no problems. Was told if can take up to 6 weeks for fluid to go away. That's when next appt. is so I will wait. Back to work in 3 days. I had a lot done so TT is worse part. LIPO and lift are not that bad. I hurt but I'm healing. So are you going to have fat transfer ?
August 14, 2016
Is he recommending you use Brava? I have no kids/implants and that's the part that turns me off to this.

No Brava was not recommended. Dr says the first 72 hours are most important when when body makes new blood vessels with the fat cells. I should go up about half a cup size and thats exactly what I'm looking forward to.

First off let me say you look pretty darn great to begin with!! Second, these "inspirational pictures" are of women very likely with breast implants/push up bras with a little bit of photo shop work too. I recently had implants removed (and boy did my breasts look fabulous in bikinis!) followed by fat transfer. The fat transfer results are more subtle with the upside of being natural. I am actually more thrilled about the lipo! I applaud your choice to take this route over implants. Managing expectations can be the hardest part. Some days I love my breast size and other days it feels like none of the fat has been retained. Overall, I am between half a cup and cup size bigger (6 weeks post-op). Best of luck with your procedure!

Thanks for the comment. I am looking forward to being a half cup or cup size bigger, that would be ideal! With surgery next week I am excited and nervous about the results. I'm hoping the cellulite on my legs will tighten up and improve too. Do you have any pictures of your results?
August 19, 2016
I need to get updated pictures loaded - my partner is out of town but I will get an update and pics early next week.
The lipo sites (hips and outer thighs) are still a bit sore and going too long without a compression garment exacerbates the pain. My doc provided foam "bumpers" to wear over the lipo sites which are also designed to help contour the sites (I use those only at night). I think compliance with massage and compression and can impact lipo results (I'm 15+ yrs older than you so that could be my age!) I do wonder if immediately after surgery the compression garment recommended by the PA was too tight and may have hindered some fat retention. Oh, my doc warned against gaining weight and said to get my weight down a little so the most stubborn fat would be harvested thus improving the chances of long-term retention. I have plenty of fat to spare which you may not.
I'm sure your procedure will go smoothly.
