23 Year Old; No Kids | SmartLipo - Abdomen/Flanks-LoveHandles/InnrThighs & Fat Transfer to Breasts - Brentwood, CA

UPDATED FROM Skinneemee

Week 4

WORTH IT$5,750
It has been about a month since the procedure. More 4 week/28 days really. It's been great.

I wear Spanx here and there.
Not much swelling.

Exercise, I can run (6.0mph) 2 miles but am grabbing to my boobs for dear life. I think I am going to give the Victoria Secret Sport Bras a try..

Weight wise I am down to my post op weight.

Measurements: My waist is an inch smaller from pre op, as well as each thigh has gotten slimmer.
Waist: Pre op 28 in; Now: 27 in
Thighs: Preop 22.5 in; Now 21 in

Breasts: the swelling has gone down, but they are still fuller than before.

Again, recommending this procedure 100x over. One of the better decisions I've made. :D

Comfortable. Dr Kaplan was very informative with the procedures and very thorough with what he was planning to do. He also offered his personal phone number if anything should go wrong. I would definitely recommend him.

You look great!  Have you lost any size in your breasts or is that holding steady?
Thank you. It was very swollen the first week. Since then the swelling has gone down. But it is a cup size bigger than before, and a lot fuller at the top. Dr Kaplan said I would be going a size up, so it has been holding steady since the swelling has gone down.
Fabulous!  And so nice you'll never have to worry about implants or weirdness for mammograms.  Such a great alternative to implants!
are you still happy with your lipo and breast fat transfer after almost 3 years

Week 1 - Addendum: Compression Garment

Compression garment - I have the Sculptures Compression Wear Model Sc- 220.
This garment is comfortable with the exception of the bulkiness at the thigh portion. Wearing them under jeans has been a nightmare (skinny jeans). So instead, I'm wearing skirts and parachute pants for now. Underneath my scrubs, again they are feel bulky at the legs.

I ordered a second garment except the model SC - 210. This doesn't have the zipper all the way thru the garment, reducing the bulk at the thighs, hopefully this will allow me to wear jeans!

I am wearing the garment 24/7 - unless showering. When I have to wash it (since for now I only have 1) I substitute it with a Spanx garment.

As for bras. I read underwire and tighter/regular bras is not good for fat transplants (until 4 weeks or so) since the pressure kills circulation to the transplanted fat cells, so I've been using maternity bras. They have great support at the bottom and shoulders and the cups are softer. (Same band size, larger cup.) I also sleep with the light sports bra that was given to me by Dr Kaplan.

Congrats! Keep up the walking it does help but also take it easy just do simple work outs nothing too strenuous or rigorous Happy Healing. Have a Happy Labor Day weekend,
You look amazing!! I'm glad to read I'm not the only person who faints from anxiety! ;-)
What was the tickle lipo like? I hope all is well.
It was bearable. Weird feeling & if you think of it, they are separating your upper layer of skin from the fat and the muscle! Creepy and gruesome to think of lol.
EEEEEWWWW! Sorry i asked. :) But i hope your end results are Fabulous. So far so Good. Happy Thursday!
