Mommy Makeover with Tummy Tuck and Breast Fat Transfer
I had met and researched a lot of Plastic Surgeons from Real Self in my area, and what initially sold me on Dr Marion is he doesn't do drains on his tummy tucks! When I met with him, I felt like he was very thorough in his answers. I never felt like he was trying to sell me into anything. He just wanted to help me get what I want and let me know what to expect. I was also impressed with his pricing.
I got a tummy tuck with breast fat transfer (with fat from the stomach area). It has been a year and the results are amazing! I did not have to stay overnight at the surgical center. He called me that night to make sure I was doing well- he was on call if you needed him. While I got the powerful pain meds, I didn't need to use them which is unheard of! I also had minimal bruising which I think is in part due to some of the naturopathic medicine they gave me ahead of time. I had no issues not having a drain! Perhaps there was more swelling because of it? I am not sure, but the recovery was better than I expected. It was still a month or so of walking around like a little old lady, but the results were worth it! I have great contouring, the scarring is minimal, and the fat transfer went well. The first round for the fat transfer gave me about a half cup which put me from an A to a bigger A cup and after 9 months from surgery a B cup. I did another fat transfer taking fat from my inner and outer thighs and arms to my breast. This round got me to a full B cup which is about where I wanted to be. My personal choice for going with a fat transfer is I wanted it to look, feel and be natural. I didn't want to have to worry about explants, rupture or breast implant illness. Since I researched a lot about Breast Fat Transfer, I knew what to expect and Dr Marion was also very good about having realistic expectations. You don't get the results of implants with upper pole roundness and 2 cup size increase. I did like the plus side of getting thinner arms, stomach and legs. I knew I was going to need two rounds to get me closer to the size I wanted. I am active and didn't want large breasts to get in the way of an active lifestyle. I didn't get any cysts or have any other issues with my breasts. The pain the second round with the liposuction was a little more- probably because of the kind of fat/areas he took from. I am 5'4" and 135 pounds- so I had the fat but not so much fat that it would likely retain after transfer. First round, about 50 percent of the fat stayed. Second round, about 70 percent of the fat stayed.
Dr Marion and his staff were amazing the whole time. I had a personal unrelated health issue come up and they were so good helping me work through and find the best solution when they didn't have to. I honestly feel like Dr Marion and his staff genuinely care about you as a patient and will do what they can to help you get your best results. I highly recommend him!
