WORTH IT$10,500
I wanted a breast augmentation without foreign implants. This seemed like a great way to use other fat from my body.
I called for a consultation and booked my procedure following a call with Dr. Bednar within a week from the consultation. Everything was very stream lined and clear, and I'm currently in my third day of recovery. So far, so good and I am happy with my decision with the surgery and choice of doctor.

Day 3 (flying home)
jumbotron27June 30, 2017
I saw Dr. Bednar for a quick check up before going to the airport. He said that the healing and swelling looks good, and that I should send pictures at the one month and three month marks.
He put 505cc into each breast. We initially talked about taking it from my love handle region, inner thighs, and lower abdomen, but he ended up getting enough from my love handles and inner thighs. He expects I'll retain about 360cc in each.
One concern I had is with carrying my work bag. Dr. Bednar said to about placing the straps on my breasts, but it would be ok to have them on my shoulders (he said I could feel it out). So for now, I'll be carrying a light back pack on the outer parts of my shoulders. Dr. Bednar filled my sides up quite a bit, so I can definitely feel discomfort if I have the backpack anywhere around my breasts.
I took my first shower today and changed to my other jumpsuit. I now have a slight butt crease, which Dr Bednar put in for me! Finally had my first bowel movement since before the surgery, which was a relief. I've been taking a lower dose of stool softeners every day but that probably wasn't sufficient.
Overall, I'm feeling good. The bruising my thighs and chest are mild. My legs feel numb and hurt a bit when I sit down, but nothing horrible. As the nurse said, it's like the pain from a heavy quad workout. My chest feels really high and tight, and it's definitely sensitive to touch. I've been applying the arnica cream 3x a day.
I stopped taking the pain medication yesterday because they made me feel funny mentally. I might switch to Tylenol today, but overall everything is good. Feel free to ask questions, and I'll continue to update.. Everyone's posts were really helpful for me and I hope to pay that forward.

July 1, 2017
Cool, hope you're recovery is good I'm looking forward to see how you do, as well!!! Wearing this jumpsuit in the summer though....... I'm starting to wish I had this done in the winter lol
July 1, 2017
tight so tight!! you have very little bruising compared to me so you are very lucky!!! Lets hope it doesn't get too itchy!!

Was it really 9000$? That seems quite expensive
July 1, 2017
10500. Definitely on the high end of breast fat transfers I researched, and it seems like you can definitely have it done cheaper if you go abroad, even if you factor in the travel costs.
July 1, 2017
To me that's actually lower than what I've been quoted but maybe it's because I live in CA

I will add that it was completely worth it for me, too. I'm in a major city with plenty of experience plastic surgeons in the city and within a few hours drive. Dr. Bednar's experience with this procedure really convinced me that going with him was the best choice, and all the realself reviews confirmed that. The worst outcome, aside from the health risks, is no retention and I think that risk seems most minimal with Dr. Bednar.
In terms of the procedure itself, I am very happy with the quality of the treatment. The staff were professional, kind, knowledgeable, and patient.

Thank you for your quick reply! I was just surprised about the price since it's more than most bbl's and it seems like a procedure that sculpts more, therefore requires more time and work. Maybe I'm wrong but I find 10000$ just quite a lot.

I see what you're saying. It seems like breast fat transfer is more expensive, like Dr. Khouri (another one of the big surgeons for this procedure) is at least 15k I believe. The high cost is possibly due to the fact that the surgeon shapes the area of the liposuction in addition to the area of the injected fat, so it's a combination of a butt lift/abdominal shaping/leg shaping/breast augmentation and lift. That's just my guess!

Thanks for sharing.. I am having this done on Sept 7th 2017 I am really nervous. Do most of the fat transfer stay? I am nervous I will need to have it done a second time.
September 4, 2017
Most of my fat seems to have stayed,and the doctor thought so too when he saw my updates. The most obvious loss was reduction when swelling went away Dr. Bednar and his staff are excellent and they will take wonderful care of you! It'll be over before you realize.

Thank you so much for sharing your results look amazing!! I am really hoping to get this procedure done next year. Is there a certain amount of time you need to stay there after surgery ( 3 nights) or does it depend on how you feel?
Just trying to gage the whole work thing. Would you feel ready to go back to work within 4 -5 days. I have a desk job but am meeting with people on an hourly basis so would need to feel alert. Thanks so much, and sorry for all the questions just trying to get a sense of things . Thanks!

Day 4- more pain, swelling, boobs definitely bigger
jumbotron27July 1, 2017
I'm back home after a quick flight and have been feeling good enough to go out with friends and walk around. No drinking though! It's summer and pretty hot here, so layering over the jumpsuit is pretty uncomfortable. With all the swelling in the lipo areas, I look and feel like a sausage getting stuffed in casing. I'm definitely not a fan of the compression socks. Can't wait for the three weeks to be over!!
I started taking pain meds again because the pain got a bit worse. The bruising looks about the same and my boobs actually have a little cleavage line here that wasn't there before. The sides are really full, so good job to Dr. Bednar on that! One thing I was hoping for was more projection/inner cleavage. It's too early to see how much of that I'll get. I'm trying not too think about it too much because I'm pretty sure I'll start to over analyze and get super worried and come up with a list of regrets before I even know how this will turn out. I'm still taking in the fact that this happened!
