Fat Transfer to Breast and Hips, with and Abdominal Etching

This is my second round for a fat transfer to breast with Dr. Burns. I had great results my first go around, but loved the fullness I received during the first month of recovery. I believe a second round will give me that fullness I once had. Initially, I hope that my breast appear TOO BIG after surgery, so that after the swelling goes down, they're where I'd like them to be.

I'm also having fat transferred to my hips. I have hip dips, and they've gotten on my nerves my whole life. I'm sick of poking my hips out to the side to appear more curvy, I WANT ACTUAL CURVES (lol). I'm a pretty athletic build, and WILL NOT put on weight just for surgery. Fat cells only expand, not multiply. Therefore, expanding them before surgery makes little sense to me. I actually feel that more cells can be harvested if they're smaller, and will expand if I gain weight later in life.

Lastly, I'm getting etching of my abdomen using laser liposuction. I'd like indentation on the sides of my stomach, as well as in the upper middle under my chest.

Stats:
height: 5'3
Weight: 130


I'm going to take 'Fast Heal Complete' pre and post surgical vitamins. I also bought scar gel, a bbl pillow, an abd board and waist wrap, wooden roller, and massage gun. I plan on getting lymphatic massages and IV therapy post surgery.

Hi, your before picture looks great. Did you get any fat necrosis or oil cyst in the first round of fat transfer?

Good luck! Looking forward to hearing/seeing results from the hip flip. I just had the same procedure done.

I wanted to post a before picture. Don't get me wrong, I think that I've done a good amount of toning on my own. It's just I'd like more defined abs, that I can't seem to achieve with workout alone. I also have hip dips, and would like a more curve. I'd also like to go up a cup in breast to add to the curves I want.

I'm a little nervous about the amount of fat that he will be able to get. I'd like at least 500 per breast, and 600 per hip. I'd live to get at least 3L of fat off my body. He says this is doable, so fingers crossed it is.

You look like you're pretty curvy already! I see from your other reviews that you've had two breast fat transfers before, and the first one replaced implants. If you don't mind me asking, how much was transferred in the previous times, and what is your current size going into this one?

I believe about 500 cc was transferred each time
