Satisfied w/Breast Fat Transfer!

WORTH IT$18,000
8 Months Post Surgery
Before-
35" breast
31" under breast
30" waist
35" high hip (measured 2" below the waist)
35.5 hip
5'5" height
128 lbs. weight
After-
36.5" breast
31" under breast
28" waist
33" high hip
36.5" hip
5'5" height
123 lbs. weight
Although I attained a post-surgery 5 lb. weight loss (due to dieting) and this sadly resulted in a 1/2" loss of fat transferred to my breasts, I do continue to be very satisfied with with my feelings about my appearance/ my body.
I was able to gain and maintain a 1" hip increase with the fat transferred to my "butt shelf" and a total of 1.5" (and cup size) increase to my breasts. I lost 2" off of both my waist and high hip. These changes have made it so that my clothes fit well and proportionately. I took a tight dress and skirt out of my closet which I'd been saving for "some day" and they fit great!

Liposuction/ Breast fat transfer
PersephonesDayJune 4, 2020
..... just received some new info. It probably wasn’t even possible to get the 5 pound weight loss from the surgery I desired, because I didn’t have an additional 5 pounds of fat to take out in the first place. It makes me wonder if I should have lost the 5 pounds of weight thru diet and exercise prior to the surgery.

Hi - I am reading your updates with great interest because there aren’t that many women post 50s who are doing this, unless they are getting explants. I also got BFT as an enhancement to a ‘keeping young’ regimen, and am in the 3-4 month post.
My thoughts are: You can make yourself crazy if you focus too much on the number on the scale. You are very diet and exercise focused already - are there other types of exercises that could tone you in a way that makes a slightly plumper you work? Also, I was thinking that 5 lbs of fat is ALOT of volume since fat weighs a lot less than muscle/bone so they can’t have transferred more than 1-2 lbs and total volume will decrease by 50% by necrosis anyways.
I have the same issue. During this COVID time, I’ve been in recovery and not exercised that much and don’t own a scale (it’s at the gym! Which is closed). I’ve already deflated from the initial plumpness. My plan is to keep the fat but focus on the tone and tightness of my stomach and butt, so that I’ll have the shape I desire. Also because of age, you need to have more fat under the skin than someone younger. I was extremely concerned with the skin on my lips areas tightening up, and they are progressing, but I’m aware I can only push the envelope so much, not being 30 years old. Also my plastic surgeon told me that I could do another round but you never get the volume push as in the first round because the ‘harvest’ areas in someone who doesn’t have much to spare (healthy) is the greatest.
Good luck in what you do and stay safe.

Interesting! You've validated what I've been trying to understand about what the optimal amount of weight is on my "older body'. I've settled with doing enough working out to keep good muscle mass/tone while avoiding any further weight loss thru dieting so as not to create a crapey-skin effect. I've found that if I go under my lowest weight I begin to become drawn out in my face and not any more attractive at all. The last picture here was before the additional weight loss I underwent during the quarantine. Some people are eating more during COVID, but I find myself exercising plenty and eating less ;)
Those first several months after surgery I found to be especially a time to pay attention to all of this. A lot of my fat transfer stayed I think because I took it easy.
Thank you for commenting! Best wishes!

You look absolutely stunning, and even before the surgery you had a fabulous physique! Rock on! I'm 50 and considering fat transfer to my breasts, without a lift, so I see you can still get great results without the lift if your breasts weren't too droopy to begin with. Really impressed with your results!

Thank you :)
I'd really like to hear how your process goes. I'm nearly one year post surgery and very pleased & contented I chose the procedure and doctor I did. Blessings!

Breast fat transfer
PersephonesDayJune 3, 2020
For some months after the surgery I continued to weigh in at 128 lbs. which was what I weighed the day of and for the years pre-surgery. I didn’t lose or gain any weight from the surgery. What my doctor took out, she put back in.
Still feeling discontent with my 128 lbs. weight post surgery I put my mind to it and dieted for a few months during the quarantine, and just this month I am now down 5 lbs, weighing in at 123lbs. I’m happier. I feel lighter and since I’m now eating less my digestion and my stomach feels better.
The trade-off is that with this weight loss I also lost 1/2 inch off my breasts. I don’t like this as my breasts are now only 1”” more than they were pre-surgery. (I’ll post some pics at the 8 month mark).
The loss of fat in my breasts definitely feels super sad to me, but it is a trade-off. I like my current slimmer size than the 5 lbs heavier size I was for the years pre-surgery and for the several months post-surgery.
I’m 5’5” so 5 lbs of weight makes a big difference on me, unfortunately it also means a loss of some of the beautiful breast fat which was transferred during the surgery. Although my girls are still definitely 1” larger than they were pre surgery and are really less flat ....I miss the extra 1/2”. This extra fat made quite a difference.
I think the important lesson for me here is that if I were to do this over again I would have let my doctor know how important it was to me that I experience a 5 pound weight loss as a result of the surgery, while at the same asking her to put plenty of fat into my breasts, as she did.
