8 week post Fat transfer to breast after explant surgery.

8 week update after fat transfer to breast. I’m absolutely loving my new breast as they feel natural and have basically filled out the concaved area in my upper pole. I’m not looking to be huge again so I’m very happy with my outcome currently.

Hi! Is there a way we can talk I need your advice as I also want to remove my implants... thank you so much

So happy for you! You look great! I would remove mine too but a few years down the road. I just had my boobs upgraded to 520cc a little over a year ago. I didn't know about Dr. Bednar and didn't think I would be a candidate for fat transfer until I got mine done.

Hi your journey was successful! Congratulations. You said you spent $12300 was that just for the explant? What was Bednars cost? Did Chun offer fat transfer after your explant? I see you waited over a year to do the fat transfer?

18 month explant/mastopexy update!

I loved what Dr. Chun did for me and how he brought me back to my youthful self but
in the end I really miss the eeling of my clothes getting filled out. I had always wondered about fat transfer to the breast after explant but was told I was too thin and wouldn't have enough fat. It wasn't until a month ago I found Dr. Bednar who specializes in breast fat transfer on thin women! I decided to go ahead with the it since I wasn't feeling so feminine after I was healed. I barley for into any bras and was really concaved. I went in at 123lbs 5'4 19BMI for lipo from my flanks, back of my thighs, inner thighs and lower back. I recieved 420cc each breast! I am so grateful to have the two best world renowned surgeons out there! What a combo!

Thanks for the updates on your journey..I will be following you to see how well the fat holds in place..what did the surgeon say about whether it might get smaller later?
July 18, 2020
I was told that I would most likely lose about 25-30% due to swelling and tumescent fluid. Which I'm totally fine with. So far so good, it's softening up day to day and starting to feel like real boobies!

May I ask what made you ultimately decide to remove the implants? BII or were you just over them? Happy continued healing dear.
July 20, 2020
I felt like it was time since I had them for over 17 years they were giving me back and shoulder problems and alot of BII symptoms but I figured that it came with age.

Hi, this looks very painful with so much bruising. Did you have at least local anaesthetic? Was there a reason why you didn't consider a smaller (than the original) implant instead?

800cc Implant removal and lift update!

Here are some pics of my progress and healing. Everything has been smooth sailing, for the first few weeks of post op all the volume I thought I had was all swelling, but now that my body is healing everything is settling into how they are meant to be.

Hello, I am going to undergo the same procedure and would love to know how your recovery is going now. You look amazing and I hope my surgeon is as skilled as yours!

Good luck best thing I ever did was explant only wish I’d never got them x

Hello there, I’m thinking about getting implants. I read your comment and not sure what’s it meant ( did you mean that you wish you never had them done?) thanks for your time.
