WORTH IT
So, it's been 6 weeks and I am quite happy with the fat retention. While my breast may appear smaller, I think its more just that the fat has softened and shifted to a lower position rather than dissipated.
Lipo spots are still sore, especially my inner thighs. I love the results though.... each day I wake up, I appear smaller and thinner ... just love it!

Looking good! How are the lipo sites - where were they and how much fat was removed altogether to get the 780cc to transfer back? Any pics of lipo sites, and where did she put the incisions? Thanks.

She took the fat for my muffin top area, inner thighs and a little from my saddlebags. I was really shocked that she managed to get that much... I hadn't realized that I was that fat...lol. My lipo sites are still lumpy and sore in a few areas. The incisions look like little scabs where I may have had a pimple but I have some dimpling at the top of my inner thighs, on the outside of my left thigh and my right hip. They appear to improve daily. Some of the other incision sites just feel like small itchy mosquito bites. People are all asking me if I have lost weight... this is an added bonus since I really only did lipo for the fat grafting . Sorry I don't have any pictures of my incision sites.... may take some tomorrow.

Just doing my research on this surgery so forgive me if I ask a dumb question...is this only fat transfer or are your implants still in?

So glad you found Dr. Ahn! She did my AFT too. And I can see you've had a beautiful result, congrats.

Hi and thanks for posting your experience. Your first photo looks very natural, do you have your implants in then? I'm enquiring because I was told you can't use the Brava system of FT when you have implants - have you heard this when doing your research, and did you discuss this with your PS? Can't wait to see your 1 month results. Hope you keep lots of your precious fat!

Hi... Yes, in the first pic, I had implants and I did use BRAVA. I have read that some docs don't use BRAVA if you have implants..... I think it's something to do with rupture.... mine did not rupture and I know that Dr. Ahn's protocol is to use BRAVA with implanted patients.
It's been 5 weeks now and I am even bigger than when I had implants. Dr. Ahn had told me that I would only be 2/3 the size I was with implants. I only used BRAVA about 18 hours in total post-op... I started it around 4 weeks post-op but had to stop because it was making me so huge and it was so painful. I am supposed to wear for 8 hours a day for 5 weeks. I just can't handle that. I have read that between 30-40 days, what you have is what you retain.... so whatever... even if I lose some fat, I will probably be the size I was with implants and that would be fine. Btw, I just posted a 5-week pic... you'll see that I am much bigger than I was with implants.
