Great Experience for Fat Transfer on a Lean Body

I had a fat transfer to breast 9 weeks ago. I have low body fat (BMI of 18) but Dr. Chiu was able to get 260 CCs for each breast, which was impressive. I did liposuction of my abs, flanks, lower back, and upper inner thighs. While the recovery from liposuction was definitely hard, I am feeling great now and happy with my results.

I had a small, somewhat "deflated" breasts to begin with. Dr. Chiu was able to give me more overall volume, as well as a fuller "upper pole". My breasts look like they did when I was in my early twenties. I can wear sports bras and unpadded bikini tops now without my chest basically disappearing.

I think this is an excellent procedure for people who are only looking for a modest increase in size/fullness and aren't sure about implants. I have been very diligent about following post-operative instructions and think I have retained about half of my transferred fat.

Unlike a couple of other doctors I met with, Dr. Chiu really took the time to understand my goals and did not pressure me to go bigger or go with a traditional breast augmentation using implants. He is very friendly and the appointments never felt rushed. He was also super clear with me about what I could expect in terms of results. I had realistic expectations going into the procedure and am very glad I did it.
