Photo Update: 3 months post fat transfer 9/12/2015
I think most of the fat has been reabsorbed by my body. They arent as flat as before but they arent natural or pointed in other words still flat. Im not sure that the fat grafting is a satisfactory procedure as I did not get the results I wanted. I was hoping, expecting really , that the fat grafting would give my areola area the projection they were lacking and also make my right nipple elongated to match the left one.
Then the only thing left was to have one more surgery to remove the scarring around the areolas (and raise the right one-this scares me bc its the one that became necrotic after blood circulation was poor) and make them have a round rather than the jagged look and lower the breast crease on the right breast.
I personally think that the left breast crease needs to be lifted a bit and create more of a 'curve' as I think it looks like it has a point under there when I lift my arms. I can totally live with that if I dont need to have any more invasive surgery on that breast.
My surgeon asked me which breast I think looks best to me so he can figure out how to make them look more symmetrical. Which do you girls think? he thinks we should try to match the left one (with the good areola).
To note: I was reading my review from the beginning and I was reminded that after the first 7/2014 surgery I did question why I kept seeing dark veins on my right breasts every so often and almost looked like a bruise on the side. My PS told me that it was normal and that my breast was just healing. Given that the following surgery caused my areola to become necrotic due to lack of blood circulation I wonder if he missed a warning sign of a possible risk. Mind you I was never told that what occurred to me was a possibility. When I asked what were the risks I was just told that possible loss of nipple sensitivity but he was very good at what he does and it was less than 20% of that happening. Necrosis was NEVER mentioned, believe me if it had I would never have had the lift especially since I was opposed to having one from the beginning.
Im going back next week for my 3 month fat transfer post op - its also 1 year since I had the last breast lift/revision that left me scarred for life. I am also going to get antoher plastic surgeons advice and opinions to see how I should proceed. I am having so many doubts and am scared to have my original PS do any more to me as I feel its a never ending guessing game. Im pretty distraught over this whole ordeal and its affecting my dad to day life. I feel monstrous when I look at myself naked.

June 27 photos - AFTER PHOTOS -Fat Transfer to Breasts
I took these photos in my home three days after the fat transfer. The surgeon said that up to 40% might get reabsorbed. I was happy that they did not look AS flat as before the transfer but feel he could/should have added more. They looked like they had some more projection didnt they? Or was it just my hopefully imagination?
June 24 - Before Pictures - Fat Transfer to Breasts
Im finally posting the photos I promised. These pictures I took in the bathroom of my PS right before I got prepped for the Abdominal lipo and then fat transfer to my breasts. FYI: I was not interested in any lipo other than for the purpose of reshaping my breasts.
