Posting a bit early because I’m worried about the asymmetry. What do any of you think? I’m going to start using scar sheets, my sutures seem to be all dissolved (I took a few out). I thought I could maybe use a noogleberry on one side after the three months are up.

Haven’t been drinking any alcohol, which is harder than you would think during the holidays. Haven’t been exercising and still sleeping in my back, which is the hardest. I worry about every little thing, like getting a hug or my sports bra being too tight or tights like that. It’s hard going through this alone, I wish I had someone to talk to constantly!

Aww, im sorry. You can talk to me:) I haven't gotten my girls done though so i dont know how i can help. Don't worry, they won't settle in for a few months so just take it easy and try not to stress too much about it
November 25, 2017
You’re so kind! I’m running up on a month next week. I just hope I’m happy with the end result because it was so much money! My biggest fear is wasting the money
November 25, 2017
I understand. I really think you made the right decision. I have only read good things about Dr. B. He increases cup size way more than the local doctors ive been looking into in LA, so his patients retain more fat. Im really leaning toward going to him even though it is way more expensive. Only time will tell but i really think you'll be happy with the end result. I cant wait to see them, im so excited for you! I read that girls get like a kit with a genie bra. Did you get that?
November 27, 2017
I got a kit with a normal sports bra, not a genie bra! Which is kind of worrying, because everyone else I have seen got a genie bra, but I’m sure it’s the same or they wouldn’t have given it to me! It’s definitely expensive... that’s what’s worrying me now! But I really hope it ends up being worth it. When would you do it do you think?
November 27, 2017
yea, im with you on that one, im sure the bra is fine. How are the scars?? I havent read any girls using this but ive used a microderma roller and oil vitamin e or castor oil for the scars. Those two, i read, are good for healing scars and ive used it on some of mine and i can really see a difference. Ask your doctor if you can do that for your scars. I want to save up at least half of the money i need and then try and get the rest on care credit but if that doesnt happen then im just going to have to wait until i save up all of that and that might take me like 18 months. If everything works out as planned then hopefully in July or August of next year. I would do it now if i could, though.

I just posted a pic of the scars! They give you biocorneum plus spf 30 advanced supervision so I have been putting that on. Supposed to be good I think but I’ll look at those options too!
MDefinitely save up. It’s not worth putting yourself into financial burden for it. That was my issue I wanted it but didn’t have the money for a while
November 29, 2017
Yea, ill have to wait and i think in my case thats good because i need to let the idea sit for a while and make sure that's what i actually want. So saving up will be good. Vitamin e and castor oil are great for scars, too!

They look so good! I don't see any obvious asymmetry at all, and I think it's too early to judge the final outcome anyway. Remember that no boobs are PERFECTLY symmetrical. I love the shape you have :). I'm getting BFT in December and my baseline looks similar to your before. I'd be so happy to look like yours after! How many cc were transfered?
November 27, 2017
Thank you so much!! Fingers crossed for a good outcome, it’s good you don’t see it really. He transferred 505 to each side. Keep me posted and let me know if you have any questions!! I was so nervous to do it. But they take good care of you!
November 26, 2017
They look very nice-very natural!
November 27, 2017
Thank you so much!!! So nice to hear
November 26, 2017
Your breasts look perfect! I was be so happy to receive results like yours.. please keep us posted on your fat retention :)
November 27, 2017
Aaaah thank you so much!!! I definitely will! :) So nice of you! Makes me feel so much better so thank you!

4 weeks

I hope this doesn’t change the whole review, can’t figure out how to just post an update.adding 4 week pics and one of the scars on my chest because I’ve gotten questions. What do you think? I wish they were a more even sized but I’m excited to see what bra size I’ll be. Can’t wear underwire for 6 months though but excited to move to bralettes instead of this sports bra after 3 months. Bruising on my back of the legs is still there a bit but not much... still a bit sore on flanks where lipo was. Going to get another lymphatic massage and see if that helps. I got one last week I think it helped.

Thanks for the updates! Did you have assymetry pre-op?
December 3, 2017
I wouldn’t say that, but my boobs were small so any difference I probably wouldn’t notice... so I guess no is the answer? But the exact amount was put in each side

Still looks great. It looks like they are starting to drop more, and look increasingly natural.

Thank you!!!! :))) so happy to hear that

You look beautiful! I think you will have great results; it may just take time for your breasts to settle and hopefully get more symmetrical. Someone else commented before, but it's true that no one's breasts are perfectly symmetrical.
December 3, 2017
Thank you!!! That means a lot of you to say that, i just worry so much!

You're welcome. I know what you mean- I worry a lot too. You're not alone. Good luck!
December 5, 2017
The difference is really hard to tell. I think that the other one is just dropping faster than the other but they look like they will be very natural when it fully drops.

Kind of worried

shshshsikw
It’s been a little over a month now - and I’m worried! I went dancing today with some friends at a dance club, was only there for an hour. Does that count as exercise?? I’m worried I’ll lose volume now. I was just dancing with my legs but also my arms in the air too, I’m unsure what is okay exercise was honestly even though they gave me a list. Anyone have any thoughts on that?? That’s been the biggest challenge, honest is the no exercise for 3 months. And I was prettt good until today help!! Do you think I messed up my results? I didn’t drink btw

All u can do is chill from this point on. Can’t undo the dancing and u may be concerned for nothing. All bodies are different just do what doc wants starting today.
December 3, 2017
No stressing about it now...what's done is done and you had fun. Besides I doubt the one night set you back your whole surgery but to calm your worry I would call your PS office tomorrow morning and ask that same question...but don't stress yourself...<3
December 6, 2017
Thank you thank you!!!!! I think I’m okay. I posted an update pic
December 6, 2017
U look awesome and rock! Take care of those tatas!
December 3, 2017
Btw, do u know how much fat was taken in total from the donor site? Like how many inches need to be pinched cuz I think I may not have enough fat donor site. Your breast look amazing!
December 6, 2017
He put 505 in each side! I got it taken from the back of my legs and flanks/back
December 6, 2017
I thought that too but he found it!! I would ask him, you’d be surprised. I’m very thin naturally and it went fine. And thank you!!! Means a lot you think they look nice

I think you'll be OK! In my experience, most of the settling and fat loss happens in the first month. Though it is important to be "protective" and take care of your breasts for at least the first three months. Don't over-do it, which it doesn't seem like you have since it was only one hour of dancing. It is hard to have to "baby" our breasts for a while after surgery as we recover, but hopefully it's worth it!
December 6, 2017
Thank you!!! It’s so stressful.thats the hardest part and I’ll definitely be careful for the next two months! Thank you!!!
December 6, 2017
Thank you!! I’m less strssssd now
