Artist with Fat Transfer

I went to Dr Bednar initially 2 years ago I had an elective mastectomy after 4+ years of having repeat diagnostic tests for multiple fibroadenomas in each breast I got implants I thought that was going to put an end to my breast nightmares. Unfortunately the implants made me sick almost immediately. I had an explant surgery less than a year after having them placed. I had nothing! I was concave. I found dr Bednar through a Facebook page. I was impressed with his work. Initially I was concerned he wouldn’t see me as he typically doesn’t do post mastectomy patients. He was honest with me from the beginning explaining that I may need a hole procedures right build a base in order to gain volume. I have had two surgeries with him. I went from concave to at least a 34D. I have had a few small fat necrotic areas which are non concerning and could be drained easily either by Dr Bednar or my local breast specialist. I have been reassured by my breast radiologist and breast specialist there is no reason to remove unless they are bothersome. His office has been amazing through the last two years. They know me, they answer my questions quickly and they are genuinely my new family. I am an emergency department nurse practitioner. I work with medical professionals daily.... I am a medical professional. I know what typical providers give you, dr Bednar’s office has always gone above that level. I was debestated with the outcomes after a mastectomy. Dr Bednar has given me new boobies and has done an amazing job at skimming away unwanted fat in other areas. It is like a two for one deal!!!!

Thank you for sharing your experience and I am happy for you! Would you be comfortable sharing your after explanted photo or photos and photos of each surgeries you have had with Dr. Bednar so far? I haven't had any BII but have some mild complications with my current implants, I think I would like to do breast fat transfer the next 5 years as I am getting older I don't want to keep removing and replacing with the new implants.
I was a mastectomy prior to implants. So once I explanted I had no breast tissue at all
Happy to hear that you are satisfied with the outcome, Hope the healing goes well! How many cc’s did the doctor transfer?
I had between 450-550 each time. It doesn’t correlate to implant size. A percentage of that volume is the fluid that is used to float the fat in.
You look nice. I noticed that your profile doesn't have any Doctor questions or any comments on any other people's reviews, and nothing in your Notebooks. Your profile was also created the same day as you uploaded this review. What made you want to create a review on RealSelf if you never used RealSelf to research? Thank you
