Scar update- day 32
For those of you wondering! Here are what my scars look like at day 32. I have one on each shoulder, two on my hips, one on each nipple (virtually invisible), and one on my butt.
They are slightly pink and either flat or barely raised. The scar tissue is a little tough, but I will begin to massage them to soften them up. The scars are only a few mm in length. Any other lines on my body are from undergarments.

Fullness! Day 25
Day 25: I am happy! With more healing and upon further inspection I am noticing a significant amount of fat is now part of the base of my breasts, where prior to surgery I had very little to begin with. While I had hoped for a little larger (projection wise) overall, I’m realizing that my breasts are very much so fuller. They are also significantly more even.
I have noticed this especially when taking photos. Prior to surgery, I often used my hand and squeezed with my arm to make my breasts appear larger (not in the before photos-view attached), now I am pleased with how my breasts appear with little squeezing and angle work!
I am very pleased with Dr. Kovanda’s work. No lumps or bumps, no dimples at harvesting sites. My results appear completely natural, and the scars on my breasts aren’t noticeable at all. He did a fantastic job. I am hoping to do this surgery again to gain a little more volume.
As far as the rest of my healing goes, I still have a bit of bruising on my inner thighs and the scars on my arms and hips are still raised and a little pink, but seem to be healing well! Initially I had some numbness in my arms after lipo, although now somewhat unpleasant at times (random stinging/burning sensations) I am happy to say that my feeling is returning!
For those considering a fat transfer:
I am very ok with going for the surgery a second time- for me implants was not an option I wanted to take. While of course it would be awesome to move up a few cup sizes in a single surgery, that’s just not the case with fat transfers. Although costly I am pleased with my results!
