Well I've been reading the posts on this site for awhile now, and I finally had the courage to contact some doctors about breast fat transfer. I originally talked to Dr. Yovino, Dr. Park and Dr. Ronan but they all said I was too skinny. I thought it was finally over for me until I found Dr. Bednar's work and reviews. I honestly don't even think I'm super skinny compared to friends of my height. I'm a petite Asian: 5'2" 120 lbs and bmi of 21.8 I believe. I'll post some photos.
When I talked to Sylvia, Dr. Bednar's wife and patient coordinator, she was very informative and friendly. She seems really sweet and thoroughly answers all my questions. I also spoke to Dr. Bednar, and he knows what he's talking about. He explained to me the procedure and answered my questions. He said he's confident that he can harvest enough fat for a 1-1.5 cup size increase :)
I've put down my deposit and my date is 11/17. I still haven't told my parents yet but I don't know how to exactly. Any thoughts?

Hello! What's the link to your blog? I'd like to follow

Hey! From which parts of your body are you taking out fat? I wish all the best for your operation. Regarding your question, I told my mother I was looking for this procedure because I have always felt my boobs don't match my body (124lbs, 1.73 mts, 82 cms boobs) and this procedure doesn't seem as aggressive and "unnatural" as implants. She was really supportive, although didn't completely agree with it. It is a part of your body you can't change with exercise or diet. Try to tell them as soon as you can, it is nice to feel their support. Good luck!

Hey there! The dr said from inner/outer thighs, stomach and love handles. Ohh okay thanks for the advice! I'm going to tell them soon. My mom feels the same way about her body haha.
November 24, 2016
It seems they only ended taking fat from your thighs, right?
August 30, 2016
We are about the same size then. I mentioned about getting a breast procedure done and she pretty much just yelled at me hahaha. Wish u luck and I'll definitely be following you as I am interested in getting it done with the same doctor also.

Hahaha wow well I ended up telling her and she said "yea it's your body so go ahead". I was so surprised she took it so well! I guess because I have tattoos. Lol when is your procedure scheduled?
December 8, 2016
I haven't had it scheduled because I've been traveling. I was so certain I'll do it at that surgeon because I want to stay natural but now I'm worried that it can't go as big as I'd like to so I'm debating about fat graft or implants.
November 24, 2016
Hello! Thanks for sharing your story. I will have the same surgery done in Feb. with Dr. Bednar. Driving there. Could you please tell me when were you able to drive? Did the safety belt hurts you? Are you feeling back to normal yet? Thank you and I hope you have a speedy recovery!
User Avatar
November 24, 2016
Hello! Good luck :) another realselfer is having theirs in February too and she's coming from SF California! I was able to drive 2 days after. But I recommend resting 3 days. I'm not completely back to normal, still stiff swollen and bruised lol. But thank you and happy thanksgiving!
November 24, 2016
Awesome, thanks for sharing! Happy Thanksgiving to you too! I am driving 5 hours back home. Would you say driving that many hours after 4 days is doable? Not sure if buying plane tickets instead...
User Avatar
November 24, 2016
Ohh I'm sure it's doable but your legs will get swollen up so you should take multiple breaks so your legs can get more circulation
December 2, 2016
Hi, how long did it take for you to recover? And how long was the procedure? And what's the Cost? I'm keen on having fat grafting but I'm scared I'd have to take 1 week off of work . And is this permanent? I'm so sorry for asking so many questions I just don't know who to ask for honest opinions . Thanks!

Hi there, Well 3 days to just relax and do nothing. Then I flew home and had to go back to regular life. You'll be super sore, numb and bruised but you can still go out in public. It took about 3 hours for them to do lipo and fat transfer and 1 hour for recovery. The cost was $10650. Yes it's permanent if you make sure the first 3 months no alcohol, smoking or heavy exercise. Also no pressure on the breasts

Received my preop package!

So I had my preop phone appointment and received my prescriptions and supplements in the mail! This is getting so unreal haha. There seems to be a lot of things you have to do afterwards but I'm sure it'll be fine. So many pills to take! The supplements and the drugs lol. One more month or so til my surgery!! I have a question, are we provided the garments?
I just wanted to post a better picture of my butt also. I want to highlight how my butt sticks out way more than my boobs, just want to be more proportional. My friend said that I already am but I disagree. Anyone else feel that being proportional is the main reason why you're getting it done?

Cute package! I love the pink bra! They will probably dress you in the garment before you even wake up. And I think you will be thrilled with your results, you already have a great body and it is going to look insanely good after your surgery! I can hardly wait to see!

Hey, your tummy looks kind of like mine. Are you going to get any Lipo there? My appt is next Friday. I'm so nervous.
User Avatar
October 9, 2016
I might have some done there I'm not too sure I think it will mostly be thighs and flanks though since he says the fat is more stable there! Good luck with your surgery :) you should start a blog too!
October 9, 2016
Your stats and figure are almost identical to mine. Same reason I am getting it done (proportion).

October 9, 2016
Great when is your procedure scheduled? And who's your doctor?
November 21, 2016
Not scheduled yet - doing consultations now. Hoping yours turns out well! I was nervous to go with Bednar b/c some other folks with darker skin had some issues...but others did not.

How exciting! I think you'll be really pleased with your results. BTW, they do provide you with 2 garments the day of your op. You will probably be fitted the day before. Keep us posted!!

My surgery is in 4 days...I'm so excited and a little nervous but I think I'll be fine! I've been using noogleberry off and on and maybe it'll help with having room in my breasts for the new fat.
Anyone have any tips for post op recovery, like what foods to eat, what should you do every day, etc? Would be much help! Thanks :)
Here's another pic of my booty lol. I really love it and I hope he'll just take fat from under my booty to make it pop even more.

Nice booty!! I recommend not moving your arms very much and no lifting. The first 3 days are the most important for fat retention. I pretty much could not move in the first three days anyways because I was into much pain. But overall I think it helped with my results. Good luck and I'm looking forward to seeing how youre treatment goes.

November 14, 2016
So, I never put this together until just now but your surgery date is the same as my 3 month post date. Haha.

If you can tolerate it, the dr might suggest walking around every couple hours to help circulation for your lipo areas. Make sure to tell the dr to leave that booty!

Good luck! I'm so excited for you.
November 15, 2016
So excited for you and nice booty! After long consideration I decided to go with Dr Bednar also! I talked to you about Dr Greenberg before ;) I can't wait for my surgery (Feb 9) I hope everything goes well for you and that you have a speedy recovery! Please keep us updated! I think i'll start posting when it gets a little closer - love this site and it's a wealth of support and information!
Ps how long have you been using the noogleberry? I was looking for something similar - to see if it would help at all - have you seen any results?
User Avatar
November 15, 2016
Thank you! :) I'll definitely give you advice and recommendations after since we're coming from the same area! I will for sure update since this site has helped me so much! I been using noogleberry for a year but I did grow half an inch. I don't use it that often though. You can buy it from me if you like since I won't use it again haha
November 20, 2016
Excellent , thank you! And yea I'all totally buy the noogleberry from you! I want to have the best retention possible, don't want to go through this again! Haha

November 21, 2016
Okay so I paid $70, what would you pay for it? $50? It's medium size. Do you want to ship it?
November 25, 2016
Hey! Sorry for the delay - thanksgiving :/ I was looking on the site for noggleberry and I think I'd need the large cup size instead of the medium - I might order online (not totally sure) but thank you so much for your offer! I hope you are doing well and taking it easy over thanksgiving break ;) can't wait to hear more about your progress! Wish you a speedy recovery!

Hi Im interested in buying the noogleberry from you! What's the difference between noogleberry and brava? Or are they pretty much the same ?
November 18, 2018
Hey I would like to get it from you. I can do Venmo. My surgery date with Dr.Bednar is on Dec 13th. Trying to vacuum the breast so that I would have enough room the fat later.
November 16, 2016
First of all you already have the body I have always wanted!!
Make sure u get arnica montanna and bromeline and you will hardly have a bruise and will heal 10 times faster.
