Fat Transfer for Symmetry

I’m so obsessed with my breasts! Fat transfer isn’t Dr Marcus’ favorite thing to do...and I am so grateful he agreed to work with me. I needed the full TT. And it just so happened he wanted to do a 2-Step lipo/TT process. Which worked out for fat transfer with a secondary transfer...which is very common in fat grafting surgeries for optimal results. My breasts were a full D on the left with a C/D on the right. I just wanted a little fluffing with more symmetry.

I certainly did not want implants. I think I’m a little conservative or old school in appreciating natural sag and natural shaped breasts. I didn’t need a lift...so fat grafting worked for me in the bigger picture. I did consult with 2 other doctors. One would only do a lift with transplant and TT — all in one shot. And another would transfer the fat but send me elsewhere for the TT. Dr Marcus was able to “see” my vision.

In March...Dr M transferred 100cc into my left breast and 125cc into my right breast. I’d say I probably had 60-70% retention. I was very careful to not work out vigorously...and ate an “okay” diet. Full fat, lower carbs....I didn’t want to lose weight but didn’t want to gain any, either.

After about 3 months my breasts settled. There were some lumps close to injection sites that eventually smoothed out. I didn’t massage or do anything to really put pressure on my chest. I was very happy with results...however, I still did need more in my right breast. Retention in my left breast seems better. Which is annoying...really...my right breast just doesn’t want to hold any fat. In nature or with the help of grafting.

Fast forward to September...doc was ready for the full TT...so my second pass at fat graft happened! I asked doc to go 70% of total fat into right breast and 30% into left. I am just soooooo happy with them :) the shape is my natural breast.

You can see that my breasts have come down quite a bit since day one. Which is TOTALLY FINE. They were beautiful...they still are. I’m hoping
They stay with me......I’m really happy though.

Congrats on your surgery looking good! Did you decide on ccs based on his recommendation for retention? Or it was just how much you wanted? x

I'm also a bit conservative so I appreciate natural breasts over implants too. Congrats on your great results and finding the right doctor to accomplish your vision!
