6 Months Later
No news to report, other than I (finally lol) hit the 6 month mark and can get more fat transferred into the left, smaller boob! YAY! I was surprisingly quite emotional when I went to the Dr's office... I think I gave Dr. Lee's nurse a start, as I've always been quite mellow, joking, funny, etc... and all of a sudden, I was this crying girl in the office. Fingers crossed that more fat could be put in, and would it be covered under Alberta Health as reconstruction, etc. I have been wearing 2/3 of those pads from bikini tops on the smaller side to even it out, and I do NOT want to wear these for longer than I have to. I was so nervous, especially since I got implants when I was young to even out my breasts in the first place.
Turns out, all my tears and worries were a waste, as Dr. Lee was planning all along to top up the side that absorbed more fat (due to trauma of the area, where the tumor was). I really need to stop overthinking, lol...
ANYWAYS, so my 'top up' reconstruction is booked for November 16 (the day after my brother is having day surgery... my mom is sure going to be doing a lot of waiting and caregiving!). I'm not looking forward to being couch bound, locked up in the house (which was the hardest part of recovery, not being able to do anything), and now that I know lipo hurts, dreading that a bit too. But it's a considerably smaller procedure than the one in April, and I'm excited to be more evened out.

3.5 weeks post op
I haven't updated in a while, as no major changes occurred. I was getting a little better day by day, and feel pretty much like myself again. Obviously not doing any heavy lifting or anything too strenuous, but I have a lot more energy than last week and don't get as tired by the end of the day.
Went to see Dr Lee on Friday to ensure healing is going well... The steri strips should fall off soon, and if not, I can take them off this week. I had no concerns, other than the fat seems to be staying better in the right side (which is to be expected, as the left had a lot more healing to do, trauma to the area, tumor on the blood supply line, etc). When everything is settled, in 6 months, I can do a 'top up' to even things out.
Otherwise, I am extremely happy with my results so far, and actually enjoying the smaller boobs, lol.

Follow up appointment
Just got back from my post-op appointment. Dr. Lee was pleased with the healing so far, and went over what surgeries were done. I found out that all my volume is from the fat transfer... Once the implants were removed, I was extremely deflated. The fibroadanoma was huge, and starting to deform (gross!) so I am so glad I had it removed.
I had the steri strips changed and a peek at my nipples... They are so cute! Another 2 weeks, and I can likely start scar treatment. I'm so happy with my results, especially as I was a bit of a challenge. Yay!
