Breast Fat Transfer to Correct Asymmetry

Over one year later, this surgery was well worth it. Not only has my confidence skyrocketed but the minor tweaks to my body have completely changed my overall look and appeal. I would say I retained almost all the fat that was transferred. Although a lot of women talk in percentages retained, I feel that is unfair as post surgery there is a ton of swelling. After the swelling went down and my breast began to “drop” into its natural position, I didn’t see much fat loss.

I think fat retention larger depends on how much fat you have to begin with. As my smaller breast was a C cup to begin with, there was more fat to “grab on to” vs someone who might be an A cup.

I do have 2-3 fat nodes in my breast that I have to be aware of and keep track of but they don’t worry me. On occasion (ie when my husband gets a little too rough) they are tender but nothing out of the ordinary.

Overall this surgery has changed my life and I’m so happy every single day that I did this. It was absolutely work it to me!

If you’re looking for a small, natural enhancement, this is a great option for you

I’ve had a slight asymmetry in my left breast for as long as I can remember. It’s not something that could be noticed in a bra or in clothing, but naked or in swim suits was more obvious to me and made me very self conscious and hyper aware of the area.
I have researched breast fat transfer as a possible solution for years but the cost was always out of reach until recently. I began researching doctors in the Columbus OH area last January 2018.
As I began emailing doctors for a consultation, I was continually told to do implants— without them even seeing me or doing a consultation! I would explain to them that there is a 1/2 cup to 1 full cup difference between my breasts and they still pushed implants on me.
I almost gave up when I reached out to Dr Roxanne Grawe of Roxy plastic surgery. She heard me out and suggested I come in for a consultation — finally! Someone in the area who isn’t pushing implants on me!
After the consultation, I waited several months before deciding to go through with it. I wanted to make sure I was 100% wanting this. What finally tipped me over the edge was when I realized that I was waking up every single day examining my breasts— I couldn’t walk by a mirror without looking at the asymmetry and feeling resentment.
After months of Dr Grawe answering all my questions via email, I scheduled the surgery.
I was still hesitant of the surgery during my pre op, but after seeing Dr Grawe I finally felt EXCITED. She made me feel so confident in this choice and assured me an implant would not give me the desired results. Although fat transfer is not something she regularly executes, she knew her stuff.
My surgery was Jan 2, 2019 (which I lovingly refer to as “new year new tit”)
The first few days post op were very difficult for me emotionally. I am a very sensitive and squeamish person so between the pain, the swelling and the surgical drain, I kept thinking “why did I do this to myself?”
Thankfully, that subsided after taking myself off the pain meds and being able to go back to work on post op day 5.
I’m currently 26 days post op and I’m absolutely thrilled with the results so far. I cat believe I waited so long to get this done!
Dr Grawe and her amazing staff have far exceeded my expectations. My boyfriend and I are so pleased with the entire experience. He keeps saying “they did you damn good baby” and he’s so right.
