Hi lia71
I am having implants removed on 23rd January and having fat transfer to breasts, I am really worried about the pain, also what the results will look like but yours look really good, do u know how much of the fat that they transferred will survive and how much will die, what happens to the fat that dies, where does it go and how long will the fat that survives stay in your breasts, my surgeon said only 50% will survive and it can last for about 10 years but every one on here says something different

Hi Mandy. You are a brave woman, it takes a lot of fears to overcome, and to choose to have the implants removed. I for myself, have had choosen to get them out first and see, but its good to do it in the same time, and it works fine as my PS said.
My PS said, that he only injects up to 170cc or 180cc each side, and the survival rate is about 80%, if injected more it dies anyway.
To answer your question to what happens to the fat cells that die. These are broken down and generally absorbed in to the blood stream, so for you do not have to worry. And the one that are left, are all yours, they will gain weight when you do and lose weight as you do, they should be a life time, as they will be as the rest of your body fat, its going to be alive and hooked to you :)
Please don't worry, it is going to be good. The pain is just where the donar sides are, the breasts are OK, when I had mine removed I was back to work after 4 days. So its not s big deal, the fat removal hurts. Do you kow where your PS will take it from?

Thanks for your advice it's been a great help, the fat is being taken from a few places as there is not enough in only 1 place, so my thigh, my tummy, my back, didn't kno I had any back fat , but hey ho,

You look fantastic! I hope my boobs look half as good as yours do when mine come out! I want to have mine out with local anesthesia (I have a consult in a couple weeks to go over options). Can you tell me how the local anesthesia process went? Did the initial needles hurt bad? Did they drape above your chest so you couldn't see? Anything you can tell me about how the process went I would greatly appreciate, thanks!

Hi there, first congratulations to your decision to get them out, its the best one ever, you will see :) I experienced the local anesthesia as very pleasant, and would do it for sure again! I did not fee a thing, I guess only my head was able to move and think, otherwise I didn't feel my body at all. I had a drape in front of me and they explained whatever was going on, at the same time I was talking to the guy beside me, who gave me the local anesthesia. I was not quit as fast in saying things, but I had a good time, and we even laughed. The best part of all of it is not to have to wake up, and experience the shaking and feeling nauseous, I just loved that. It only took about 20 minutes, but I wasn't able to tell time anyways. So go for it, you will not regret it, its fantastic, you wont feel even pressure on your body, absolut nothing. And about the needle, you will get it for any anesthesia you choose, the one into your hand, other then this you feel absolut no more...hope that helps and good luck! When is your explant?
January 25, 2013
Thank you so much for the details! That does help a lot! Yes, I hate waking from anesthesia so I am really looking forward to avoiding that. Thanks again for sharing that, I feel more at ease :)

I had the reconstruction of my breast muscles, on...
I had the reconstruction of my breast muscles, on both sides, done yesterday, the surgery was almost 3 hours, but that included the fat transfer from my upper legs to my breasts. All together there are about 10 small cuts where the fat was harvest from, and that is where the most pain also comes from.
My breasts are swollen and have a funny colour, my legs are covered in dark purple.
I am in a lot of pain, and have to take meds, where I didn't have to take any after my BA removal, over all it looks good, but big after being so small again. But they will get smaller , its the swelling right now.
I will try and post pictures tomorrow.

I am going to ask to my doctore about my muscles, let's see what he says.
