Lipo site 3-yrs post op
I received some questions about the area where fat was moved from and if I’m happy with it. 100% yes. The job post surgery is to maintain your thighs so they don’t look too skinny since they have less fat. I haven’t been doing much but yoga lately.
One and done.
Just a word to the wise – this surgery works really well. I’m about 3-years post-op now. I gained 20 lbs since COVID so the ladies have grown substantially. Not a bad place to get fat!!
Still awesome.
Someone mentioned they thought my review was fake. Sounds like they maybe had a fat transfer with another doctor that didn’t work out so well. That’s a super bummer. I would be very frustrated on their shoes. Thought I’d update to show how my results are definitely the real deal, and I’m still very happy with my outcome 3.5 years later.
I don’t know if my results are above average or not, but I retained really well. The fat transfer includes like 10% tumescent fluid filled with stuff that helps the fat survive. That tumescent fluid gets absorbed by the body over the first couple weeks. (To make room for that extra volume, they poke little holes all over your breast so you won’t get stretch marks.) I retained almost 90% of what was transferred to my breast. So, if you do the math I retained almost all the fat that was transferred.
There were lumps in my breast for the first year or so. I already had lumps in my breasts but they were exaggerated and there were more. My OB monitored the lumps and they were gone after 1.5-2years. Not bad considering this procedure lasts a lifetime. I don’t think the lumps were necrosis, but maybe they were. In any case, I think Dr. Bednar transferred 530cc’s to each breast. It took me from a 34B/32C to a 34DD/32E. That’s been the case ever since the end of my recovery.
Fat transfer is unlike implants in many ways, including that the fatter you get, the bigger your boobs get - it’s exaggerated because you have lots of fat cells there. You also have a more natural shape, which some may not prefer to implants. A bra or good posture help the ladies to look their best, versus implants which look more like a built-in push-up bra.
The scars are different, too. I attached recent photos of my scars. This images should hopefully clear up any doubt that what I have is a fat transfer. I’ll post an old pre-surgery photo too so you can see what I was working with before.
