I’ve been getting a lot of questions asking how my scars are coming along now that I am completely healed. I had my surgery three years ago, fat transfer to breast using liposuction in my outer thighs, abdomen, and love handles. I am absolutely thrilled with my results! My scars are teeny tiny and healed up quite nicely. No one ever notices my scars. I barely notice them. I posted pictures, please comment below and I’ll do my best to reply to your response! Thank you so much for following my journey.

You look great! Maybe you can say how many cc was injected to each breast?

Thank you so much, I feel great too! I did not request a certain amount of cc to be injected. I talked with my doctor about the results I wanted to see and showed him pictures. We discussed realistic outcomes and from there I trusted his recommendation. Thank you for your question.

Your scars are barely visible! Did you do anything to help them fade? I'm Asian and was told that we scar easily. Maybe that's the factor. I hope mine will look like yours once they're healed.

Scars really suck. I scar dark and also keloid. I was using a generic scar gel for about three months after surgery, but I noticed it was making my scars turn purple. So I stopped using it. I stayed out of the sun for a year or more which I think helped a lot. Also didn’t work out for the amount of time my doctor recommended because that can increase keloid and scarring.

How long did you waited before you started working out again? The sun is definitely one of the biggest factor.

Honestly, I can’t remember but I think it was about two months? I definitely avoided the sun for over a year. The sun is terrible for scars when they are healing.

Thant you for the 3 yrs update. But the updated pictures didn't show your full breasts. I would like to know if you have retained all fat cells or not? I heard there has some side effect for breast fat transfer. Did you encountered any lumps/cysts/microcalcification/necrosis of fat cells since surgery?

My pictures look the same as the ones I posted before. Pretty much nothing has changed from about six months post surgery to now. When I lose weight and the fat shrinks, when I gain weight the fat increases. Luckily I did not form any lumps or any of that. My recovery went pretty smooth and I am very happy with my results.

Please research Breast Implant Illness. You do not want to do that to your body. Also you should know, that staying at 12% body fat is very unhealty for women. :( I hope you think about this :) Best wishes for you :) And one question: how many cc's did you get into your breast? :)
March 13, 2018
Are you getting the implants for the competition so you have a certain size at your current body fat %? In which case, I guess implants makes sense. But if it's just because you lost fat in your breasts, I would suggest maybe waiting until after cutting and getting back to your normal weight and seeing if they come back. Your fat cells should still be there, just not as full as before.

If you go with the implants just be aware that you will need to replace them in 10 or 15 years. Maybe even sooner if you have problems like capsular contracture. Also if you get silicone implants they recommend that you get an MRI every two years. Your health plan won't pay for that. When I got my implants 15 years ago I didn't realize what an expensive Merry-Go-Round I was getting on. Good luck in your competition.
March 13, 2018
P.S. since you are competing and lifting weights the doctor will probably recommend you do over the muscle. Over the mud so greatly increases your chance of capsular contracture. That's what I did and I got it really quickly and now my breasts are really hard like rocks. Under the muscle supposedly decreases the risk of capsular contracture but you may look funny when lifting weights.

You look amazing!!! I love your results:). I had a M.M. over 8 months ago. Best decision ever. I did not get lipo because my surgeon said I didn’t have enough. So, I just need to work on lifting my butt through diet and exercise. You inspire me!!!

Hi ladies! I have gotten a TON of emails and even someone calling the doctors office asking me to do a review. ???? so here it is!
In the summer of 2016 I decided to get micro lipo and fat transfer to my breast. Since then my fat retention has decreased and I am thinking about getting gummy bear breast implants.
I am still very happy with my results. My breast are still perkier and larger then when I started. Everything was great until I started dieting for a bodybuilding competition and since I started this (3 months ago) my breasts have gotten significantly smaller. My body fat is very lean right now at 12% and will drop lower the closer I get to the bikini competition. So now I am considering breast implants. (Which I will go back to dr Dry).
My lipo scars are nearly gone but my fat transfer left a keloid scar under my breast.
My lipo areas are smooth and still look amazing.
I will post update pictures tomorrow!
Thank you for following my journey!

Thank you for the review, its super helpful. I feel a bit sad that you drop your body fat, and compromise your result for a bikini competition. I hear many stories of women on their fitness journey, who competed and later had to work hard on getting a healthy perspective on their body image and what fitness really looks and feels like in a balanced lifestyle. I dont mean to demotivate, but I hope you come out of the low body fat phase soon and continue to enjoy life/food/fitness.

thank you for your comment but your sadness and pitty is not necessary. I am in the best shape of my life and I have never looked and felt as good as I do now. I will post pictures soon :)

Please don't get implants!! They are not worth it! I speak from experience. Read all the stories here about explants and you will see how many women regret getting them and how many problems you can have. Believe me, going into implant surgery no one ever thinks she is going to be the one having problems. And know thinks about having to replace them 10 or 15 years down the line even if you don't have problems (like capsular contracture). That's the average lifespan of an implant. Plus you are supposed two have an MRI ever two years and your health plan won't cover that. You are a body builder right? Do you really want a surgeon messing with your chest muscles to put in implants? Implants punin over the muscle have a high chance of capsular contracture and you will end up with breasts as hard as rocks and deformed, like I did. You put so much time and energy into being fit and I can tell you care about your health so please don't put some foreign objects in your body. Take a look at pictures of what implants look like after they have been removed after a few years. The are gross!

Zivia, most foolish people have to try it first to believe it, but that was very kind of you to go out of your way to tell someone the truth especially a stranger. I always want to say something but hold my tongue now after I saw most ppl just don't care until its too late.
March 3, 2018
P.S. I don't know when it became the norm for female body builders to have big
breasts. It wasn't like that in the beginning. Women bodybuilders used to be small breasted mainly because their body fat got so low, and breast tissue is fat! The fat will come back when you gain weight after the competition.

Hey it's me, I had my procedure a couple months after you - and I feel you on the boob thing in regards to considering the implants. I too have lost a lot of weight, 10 pounds (but I'm only 5' 3") since my procedure and my boobs are waay smaller too - but overall I'm still super happy with my results and although I have considered implants, I don't know that I'd really go through with it.

I say, do what makes you happy and your decision is the right one for you. I do think implants come with a lot more baggage and maintenance but if they're what you really want, I say go for it. There's too many opinionated and very judgmental people.

I just wanted to say hi and say that I'm excited to hear you're well and wish you luck in your competitions. I know you're beautiful and sometimes it's hardest for us to see that - we are always our own worst critics!

Much love to you! XO
