Update! 1.75 Years later
Hi everyone! I haven't updated in long time because everything has been great and I honestly forget that I ever had this procedure!
I'll update with photos, esp scar photos, in the next week or two. I stopped using scar tape/gel pretty quickly because I kept forgetting, but I don't consider their appearance a big deal. This procedure and recovery actually went so well that I was thinking about doing it again in the future. I definitely won't, since anesthesia always carries risk and I'm happy where things are, but if I did want to, I would have no hesitation about going back to Dr. Bednar. I'm really happy he did my fat transfer.. I had an excellent, textbook experience, and I highly recommend him!
Highlights--
- Retention is still good!
- Lumps are gone
- All other body parts are back to normal (no numbness, textures)
- Scars are minimal and still fading (they look fine to me, but they're not invisible)

I am super happy with how the procedure worked out! My boobs look great, way fuller than before, and I haven't had any loss since my last update. When I had my phone check-up with Dr. Bednar, he said that I had retained almost all the volume--70-80% I believe it! There is still a small asymmetry in volume between my two breasts, but it's not noticeable unless you stare pretty hard. Overall, I have gained 1-2 cup sizes and love my boobs!!!!!! Would totally do this again.

I love my boobs! Definitely a 32d or dd, I was a small 32c before. Im wearing an old 32c bra that was too big for me before, and now it's too small (the bra digs into the top and of my breasts in the side views) I'm measuring 36" around the bigggest part, which is the same I was measuring two weeks post op.
Observations:
-my right breast is about half a cup smaller than the left. I don't think it's noticeable unless you're staring at me naked (looks fine in clothes)
-I have lumps in my right breast and a small lump on my left. Again, not noticeable.
-one really cool thing about this surgery is how natural it look so. This is because your boobs will keep their same shape! For me, my boobs are side and bottom heavy, and most of the fat gathered there. If you have close set boobs, the fat will stay in the center. I don't think this surgery will change the shape of your breasts, so don't base your hopes on one person's results if their before pictures are pretty different from yours.
-scars are still there. My butt scars are flat but dark and big. My boob scars are bumpy and red. I still use the scar gel and scar sheets.

The office staff were great, informative, and very friendly. I overall interacted in person with Dr. Bednar for about ten minutes before the procedure. Everything was very efficient and thorough and I felt that I was in good hands.
