38, 2 Kids, Breast Fat Transfer - Charlotte, NC

I've always been very fit with small breasts (very small 34b - and sometimes 34a) but they never bothered me because they were pretty perky and nicely shaped. After breastfeeding both of my kids, they're sad and droopy and they bother me - I don't feel confident about them anymore. They're almost concave on the top. :( My husband and I are separated and thinking of going out in the dating scene at this stage has made me realize I should conquer my fears and get this procedure done. I'm thrilled that it's my own fat and not an implant although I do wish there was more guarantee of size and shape. I'm also a little concerned with running after a 3 year old and 5 year old while recovering. But after all of my research, I'm going with Dr. Bednar who seems to get pretty great results and I'm crossing my fingers that it's the same for me (fingers and toes!!). My procedure is tomorrow and I thought I'd document it since it's been so helpful to read everyone else's story. He'll be taking fat from my lower back, stomach, hips and thighs and transferring into the breast. I really hope he takes much more from my back and stomach than from my thighs and I feel like I have much more there and would be happy to have a flatter stomach. We'll see how it goes. Send me positive surgery vibes!

My surgery was actually yesterday (Real Self has me one day off). Surgery itself seemed to go smoothly. I was super nervous but honestly, I went to sleep in a second and woke up when it was time to go back to the hotel so it was fine. I'm definitely swollen - pictures of the swelling attached. I'm also uncomfortable but it's not bad. The lipo areas are the most uncomfortable places. I haven't taken a pain med yet today and I'm thinking of changing to tylenol. Dr. Bednar took a little bit of fat from a lot of places - back of legs, thighs, lower back, lower stomach. He ended up with 420ccs in each breast. He was hoping for 450ccs so that's pretty close. It's interesting how we see our bodies vs. reality sometimes. I really think I have a lot of fat but I guess not as much as I thought! A good reminder to not be so hard on myself. Overall, feeling good and hoping it stays that way. Thanks to the recommendation for the Go Girl thing to pee - worked really well. Off to eat my first real meal since two days ago!

I finally took off the ace bandage and am wearing the sports bra. I'm pretty bruised (I bruise really easily and I have been icing my lipo sites a lot more than my breast area). I'm pretty happy with the results so far. I look fuller but not too big for my body as I'm petite (5'2"). Now I just hope it all stays!!!
