On a negative note: The revision did not really change the asymmetry and I have dark scars.
On a positive note: Still a D-cup (I did not loose much fat) and perky so I am still very pleased with the overall result after 1 year. Knowing the outcome I would totally redo it.
On a side note: I have a friend who had a breast augmentation with implants done about 6 months ago and she is going back for surgery (the implant did not drop properly and she is now considering having a breast lift done)...

Revision
I had a revision done on my right breast, mid October. It was performed at no charged, with local anesthesia in a minor surgery room and lasted for about 30 min. It was super painful during 24-48 hours.
Reveal is next week.

Your results are just wow!!! I love how they dropped into place and nipple placement looks perfect! I’ve read a lot of fat being absorbed by the body. Doesn’t look like you have lost any? What do you think made the difference ? And I’ve also heard it’s very painful. On 1-10 what was your experience?
Thank you! Yes, I had an excellent retention.
I have been thinking a lot about what had made it this successful. Of course a good surgeon is very important but the fat has to be « prepared » before and treated like a very fragile graft afterwards as well.
Fat preparation (before transfer): eat extremely well, loose weight, exercise, make the fat shrink as much as possible. I did this for about 9 months before the surgery. Also I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, I do not take the pill, nothing.
Fat care (after transfer): continues to eat well, low impact exercises (walks), rest a lot but very importantly do not put pressure on the graft for about 2 months. No massage. I wore loose bras, slept without a bra as much as possible.
The liposuccion is very painful but the worse is that the pain does not go away quickly. I would say a 8-9 at first, then a 5 for quite a while. Now, at 6 months post-surgery, I am still a 1.
I hope this helps : )

My lipo scars are healing nicely and fading progressively. However my lift scars are not very nice (pink and raised) so my PS gave me a scar treatment to perform overnight. I will update on that.
I am also scheduled for my breat lift revision in November to correct the nipple asymmetry. I am becoming self conscious about it so it is a good thing.
Some lipo areas on my thighs are still swollen but I have read that it takes 6 to 12 months to totally resolve.
The breast fat transfer result is still the same. The breasts have dropped significantly but I am still tight is most 34D and happy with the result.
