After breast feeding 3 babies, my breast were left deflated. Fast forward 8 years and I’m ready to regain some volume. So happy to have learned about the breast fat transfer procedure! I had my procedure yesterday. I was advised to do 2 weeks of breast expansion, 6 consecutive hours per day prior to the surgery. Was having good results with the Noogleberry and after a week, outgrew my medium cups. Couldn’t get large cups from London quickly enough (they arrive tomorrow) - so in interim, ordered a $20 version on Amazon that is working SO well. Not comfortable, but successfully expanded the breasts pre procedure.

Your results are amazing!! I'm having this procedure next month. It's great that the amazon breast expander worked so well for you. I'm curious... if you wouldn't mind sharing I would greatly appreciate it...What is the brand name of it? I looked, but there are so many different brands. I'd like to get one!

Day 2

Neat5565
Had my procedure Friday and by Sunday, am feeling so much better. Am sore and bruised, but after showering am feeling like myself again. Wasn’t sleepy the day after the procedure and had hoped to nap, but lounged in the couch most of the day. Today went out to a memorial service briefly and to Target for a return. Uncomfortable getting in and out of car (had boyfriend drive me) and up and down, but not taking strong pain meds today. Did take Tylenol this morning. Breasts are much softer today. I have five very small incisions from the lipo and my surgeon filled my breasts through a small incision above my belly button - so no scars on my breasts at all. Will keep updating with pics. These pics are from yesterday.

Your results look good. How many cc did they inject per breast? Also, why did he have you use an expander? It looks like you had plenty of breast tissue after breast-feeding three children. Thanks!

He put 500 in each breast. Yes, I thought The skin was plenty stretched out, but it had been 8 years since I breast fed, so there was retraction. And I think it was more that the Noogleberry makes enough space inside within the tissue for the fat to survive well.

More photos. My lipo was taken from my inner knees, inner thighs, outter thighs, waist, and lower back. Access was through 2 incisions in my groin and one under each butt cheek, and one at the top of my bum crack.

Following! Mom of 2 here Massachusetts native as well and I have been searching for a Dr who does breast fat transfer as I am too nervous to have implants. You look absolutely amazing! Going to schedule a consult with him. Wondering if I will need a lift first before FT! Looking forward to your updates!
March 18, 2019
He recommended a lift and fat transfer to me, but I wanted to try w/ out the lift - just to fill out what I have already. Still happy with the results, but only 1 1/2 weeks out. Hoping to maintain volume!
March 18, 2019
I think you look fantastic! Do you know if he does the lift and transfer in one procedure or two different visits? I’ve heard some will make you get a lift them wait a few months and return for FT. I’ll have to find out. Hope you are recovering well!
March 18, 2019
Oh and I forgot to ask, what is the breast expansion? I have not heard of this?
March 18, 2019
I believe he does both procedure together, but not entirely sure, as I told him I didn’t want the lift (though am sure will look even better if you do both)! Look up the Noogleberry device on google. It makes space within the breast tissue to add even more fat. You wear 6 hours per day for 2 weeks prior to procedure - so not easy to fit it, but it works! He then fills the expanded breasts and apparently research shows that the fat survives better with more room to attach to new blood supply. He’ll give you his journal article to support the research if you meet with him.

Good luck!
March 18, 2019
Oh, and recovering very well. Still bruised - but getting around just fine and back to normal routine.
March 18, 2019
Thanks for the info!! Looking forward to seeing your results!!
