Beautiful & Natural Breast Fat Transfer Reconstruction
WORTH IT
I am 2 days post op from a breast reconstruction with fat transfer. I was really nervous going into this surgery, because I'm tiny (5'2 and 90lbs) and wasn't sure if I truly had enough fat to make a difference. I previously had a failed direct to implant reconstruction in April 2019 at the same time as my bilateral mastectomy and everything had to be taken out in July 2019 (both by different surgeons). Here I am 7 months post mastectomy and 4 months full en bloc capsulectomy and Dr. Geoghegan has done an impeccable job. My breasts are no longer asymmetrical or con-caved inwards. They look natural and feel wonderful. I already have more confidence in myself. I'm sore, but it's completely tolerable and the bruising is not nearly as bad as what I expected it to be. I have not been able to wear sports bras, tank tops, or even my prosthesis without big holes in my chest showing for the past 7 months. Today, I wore a sports bra and felt like me again. I'm so grateful that she only used fat from my stomach and flanks this time around so that I can have a 2nd breast fat transfer with her using fat from my thighs. I'm positive that with 1-2 more fat transfers I will be as close to perfect looking for a reconstruction as is humanly possible. I'm a tough critic and even had a panic attack because of prior surgical complications. She was competent, kind and worked with me to give me a stunning natural result. I would highly recommend her for breast reconstruction.

6 months post
6 month post op update
These are the 6 month post op photos from one breast fat transfer on a nipple sparing mastectomy. The first fat transfer surgery definitely made enough of a difference to boost my confidence, but I have been actively gaining weight around my waist and thighs so I can get another transfer soon. Overall happy with Dr. Geoghegan and the outcome.

you look great! I'm also 5'2 and weigh 98 (so just barely bigger than you), and I had this procedure but could not find ANY pictures. I also had failed implant reconstruction, and natural fat transfer has been a godsend. I have had 3 rounds so far, and am an AA cup, maybe- i may do one more round just to get better symmetry. So thankful you posted these... yay for petites!
