Can you share some pics?

January 25, 2013
Hey, thanks for sharing, you look almost like me :) The pics can be rotated, write them an email, and ask to rotate them, they will do it in a day or two.

Can you update now. I'm looking for long term results please. Thank you ❤️

Hey I live in uk and looking for removal and fat transfer.. Where did you get this done ?
July 15, 2017
7 weeks out is the furthest I've seen anyone show and they looked really nice! Did you only do the one transfer? Also do you have any updated pictures that you don't mind showing... or at least saying how you feel still about your results? Thank you.

Had opp yesterday and all went well, boobs swollen and bruised, fat was taken mostly from my back and that has been the most painful

Hi Emily , if u look on my other profile which is on the implant removal page there r b4 pics on there

Hi Mandy, I am looking into fat transfer myself. I had my implants removed in Oct 2011 and have been left with no breast tissue & very wrinkled excess skin. I don't want implants again but need something ..... Can you let me know how your breasts are now, how long recovery was & who you went to in the uk? Thanks Gemma
January 28, 2013
Hi Gemma, my surgeon was mr mahboob Ali ,(honestly) he works in West Midlands, I had mine done in halesowen, I checked him out b4 I had surgery and he has really good revues, he also works for NHS doing reconstructive surgery to breast to cancer patients, , so far I am really pleased, most of the pain was where they took fat from (my back) , the first 2-3 days were pretty painful but I'm on day 4 now and feel much better, only took 1 lot of pain killers today ,I will up load more photo,s and if look on my other profile which is on the implant removal page , u can see my b4 pics, good luck, keep me updated
January 28, 2013
Thanks Mandy, do you mind me asking how much your procedure cost?!
I have been in contact with a couple of clinics in the B'ham area today & they all seem on par cost wise. Are you going back for a refill/top up in a few months too?!
I'll have a look at your other profile now. Thanks
January 28, 2013
WOW.... I actually checked Mr Mehboob Ali's profile on the Dpire Health page- he works at the Droitwich Spire clinic also (if that's the right surgeon). I saw from your removal profile that he did the procedure in one foul swoop for £3700?!
The clinics I've been in contact with are quoting £6500 - Are there diff types of fat transfer?!
I've just emailed him
January 28, 2013
Hi Gemma, I think it must be the same surgeon , there can't be 2 with a name like that in the midlands, that was the full price, originally I was going to have implants remove without doing anything else, then I found out about fat tranfer and it seemed the ideal solution, he quoted me £2900 for removal only or £3700 for removal and fat transfer so I thought for an extra 800 I may as well give it a go, I looked around for prices and the cheapest I found apart from that one was £5000 all in , and that was with the hospital group in bromsgrove , and another hospital in Birmingham quoted me around 8 or 9000 I think, but I went with mr Ali because he seemed to have the most experience and excellent revues, I,m not sure if there are different typs of fat transfer, and he said that I won't see my final results until 3 months later , I will only gain maybe 1 cup size and if I want to go bigger I will need another go , but however much they shrink I'm not doing it again, not because of the pain or the money really, I just think I have to accept what I have now and be happy with myself, I must admit I am still worried about the out come , only because of some of the horror stories I read on here and other sites, about the fat turning to cysts and breast going lumpy, but it's done now and I can just hope for the best, were your implants on top of the muscle, and what size did you have put in? What size r u now, as you saw from my pics I was very small before implants and I don't mind going back to that size as long as they r not empty and saggy
January 28, 2013
HA HA .... I'm guessing its the same one, very apt name!!
Embarrassingly I don't know what size my implants were ... Maybe 240/280 I was a natural small b cup before and wanted a natural c look but my actual bra size ended up a DD. They looked stick on my chest as I'm only 9st & generally small framed, they were under the muscle.
Now...... :-( I don't even fill an A cup I am FLAT chested side on - there is NO breast tissue. I was told to wait at least 12 months to see the final results- and here I am at 15months with not a great deal of improvement. I will await Mr Ali's response & see how my finances lie. But I'd really love to see/hear your journey over the next few months (if you don't mind).
Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery & successful result for you xx
January 30, 2013
Hi Gemma I forget to say if u type in VIP cosmetic surgery on google , and book a consultation with mr Ali through them it's free , it's only supposed to be a 15 minute consultation but I reckon I was in there a good half hour and he went through everYthing, good luck
January 30, 2013
Thanks Mandy, I actually spoke with Jude this evening, she said the interest they've had (which you've created) had been phenomenal - they've got people contacting them from the states & Australia for Mr Ali's services .... Shockingly a procedure I didn't think I'd be able to have gone based on quotes in excess of £6k is now excitingly realistic at just over £3k from Mr Ali!!!
I'm VERY excited. How are you feeling now?! Is the bruising going down?
Final Q, I have 2x young daughters who still need me alot- I know your only a week post surgery but have you been able to go much ??
January 30, 2013
Oh my god I can't believe it, it was Jude who I spoke to, she was very helpful and ,I went to see the nurse today and she took off all my dressings and everything is healing very well, I,m back at work tomorrow, the only pain I have is still in my back, where the fat was grafted from ,I think u would need help for the first 2-3 days if u have young children , but after that u will be fine, and your probably younger than me so the body heals quicker and copes better with pain ,I,m not very good dealing with pain and it takes me a few days to get over the affects of the anesthetic , , not taking any pain killers now , so must be good , and I can shower tonight , yipee
January 30, 2013
YEEEAH Shower time .... How many days post op are you?
Were you advised on how long it might take for the bruising to diminish??
Sorry for ALL the questions- I'm super excited & deadly intrigued G xx
January 31, 2013
Day 8 today , still a bit bruised but feel so much better, will up load new pics today
January 31, 2013
I'll bet.... I'm guessing you feel a tad more human again having been able to shower?. I think that's always the hardest part of surgery LOL
I have my mini consultation on Tues EEEEKKKKK
Looking forward to seeing your day 8 piccys x
January 31, 2013
Wow good luck with your consultation, let me know how it goes, new pics r up now, I'm really pleased at the moment

MelonsdcupJanuary 31, 2013
Day 8 and I so delighted with my results, boobs have shrunk a bit but that's to be expected, had dressings taked off yesterday and everything is healing great, my scares r barely noticeable, he,s done a fab job,, still don't know how much fat was put in each boob, the nurse couldn't read docs writing, It was called autologous fat transfer , what ever that is,,boobs r still bruised but not painful at all, the fat donor site is still a bit sore,if any of u ladies have this done I highly recommend a belvia bra, u can buy them fom boots 14.99 and its been a god send, I have wore it for 24 hours a day and don't feel,like I,m wearing anything at all, yet it's still very supportive , I,v uploaded new photo, taken today

Hi Mandy, (Sorry If i'm becoming your Realself Stalker LOL)
Just wondered how your feeling/looking now your 2weeks post op??
Has the bruising faded? Hope your still pleased with the results.
Gem x
February 7, 2013
Hi Gemma, don't worry about the questions, I was the same b4 my opp, glad to help you, I,v been back at work a week now and I have found it quite hard, still a bit sore around my back and it seems to have travelled round to my ribs now, the bruising on my back has all gone but it still feels bruised, the hospital gave me a sick note for 2 weeks but I only had 1 week off , I think really I should have had the 2,my boobs r still bruised but I have no pain in them and my scares are barely noticeable , I think they they have shrunk a bit more since I loaded the last pics on here, I have an appointment to see mr Ali next week , just a check up so I,l ask him if they will shrink any more, I hope not, I will up load more pics once all bruising has gone, I don't know why it's taking so long, did u have your consultation with mr Ali , how was it ?
February 7, 2013
Oh dear ... Sorry to hear your return to work hasn't been great but glad to hear your visable bruising has gone.
I'd be interested to know how much more he thinks they may shrink too as in your pics they still look quite big, considering your implant free.
No my appt is on 19th now,,., still some time to catch up & follow your recovery until then ;-)
February 13, 2013
Hi Gemma , saw mr Ali today, he told me I should stay this size now which is about 1 cup size bigger than I was b4 BA, I have put new pics on so have a look and see what u think, and let me kno how u get on at your consultation
February 13, 2013
I got an email notification to say you'd updated your pictures.... They look great. Are you pleased??
I presume, by the pictures & being aprox 1cup size bigger, that you weren't that small prior to your BA??
I was a small A/B cup before my BA.... And I'm now an A :-(
I'm really looking forward to my consultation on Tues. fingers x'd it goes well.
How are the areas that he took the fat from ? Recovering well?
February 13, 2013
I was small b4' small a cup, I think I'm a b now, look at pics on my other profile u will see b4 photo, I am pleased and my back is still a bit painful but it doesn't stop me doing anything ,
February 19, 2013
Hi Mandy, today is the day for my Consultation (I'm so excited I could burst) I just need to find the money now HA HA.
How are you? Is your bruising disappearing yet??
February 19, 2013
Hi Gemma good luck at your consultation, and yes all bruising gone now, it will be 4 weeks tomorrow and I'm still happy with my results, let me know how u get on
February 21, 2013
Hi Mandy .... So my Consultation went well (Although Mr Ali joked in ref to finding any Fat to harvest from my body) ...... I am calling today to book my surgery for 6th April....
I'm online ordering Magic Knickers (which he advised due to where he's going to take the Fat from) and also looking at Bra's .... Did you find the Belvina Bra supportive enough ??
February 21, 2013
Hi Gemma , glad u got it sorted, he couldn't get much fat off me either, that's why I only got 70 ml each breast, the belvia bra bra is really supportive and very comfortable, and easy to sleep in because breasts r so tender for a week or so. I still wear mine now around the house . U can only get them from boots, Asda , I think maybe wilkinsons to .so when r u hoping to have surgery , how much did he quote u , if u don't mind me asking
February 21, 2013
I've already purchased some Magic Knockers from EBay & a black & white bra (looks just like the Belvina) so fingers x'd.
I'm booked Sun 7th April [RS bleep]
February 21, 2013
Not to long to wait, good luck, keep me posted , I,m really interested to see how I get on, I think mr Ali should pay me commission lol
February 21, 2013
My husband did say during the consultation that you should get commission !!!
He's had a massive response since your posting, from ALL OVER the world!! It's amazing what the Internet can achieve!!
Please keep the site & more importingly me posted on your recovery until I have my surgery.
Do you think you've list anymore ??
February 21, 2013
He didn't offer any commission when I saw him but I have to see him again in June so I might mention it , don't think I will get any where with it tho, worth a try, I might get some fee treatment, ha ha, I'm still same size , 1 cup size bigger, I was very small b4 , as u can see by my pics , would have liked to gain a bit more to be honest but he did tell me at consultation that it would only be half or possibly 1 size difference
November 7, 2018
Hi Gemma, I’m having he same procedure tomorrow. Did they need to do a lollipop lift with a vertical scar under your nipple? Thanks!
Hi there, welcome and thanks for sharing your journey with us. Good luck with your surgery, I hope all goes well for you.
Are you having the operation in the UK? I assume it's not an NHS procedure?
No problem, I've done that for you. Glad your surgery went well and I hope you're recovery will be swift and as painless as possible!
No problem, that has been done for you!
