Fat Transfer After Implant Removal - Oklahoma City, OK

Patience is the key to any surgery and it can be very hard waiting for the natural healing!! Take heart friends, hang in there! I'm feeling back to normal and very pleased so far with my results after scar release and fat grafting. Initially my breasts were so big and I was very worried I had made a mistake, but they have gone down significantly but have kept a great shape. I still have skin sensitivity on the sides of my breast especially during pms, and there are still some firmer areas in both breasts, pretty much in the center when I feel for it, but ps said that is still swelling that will take up to a year to resolve from all the scar manipulation. I'm not going to put a "worth it" mark on my review until a year, when my body has done all it can to adjust to the invasion it suffered lol! I'm wearing a 36C from Victoria Secret right now, but I expect that to possibly change by a year out.

7 weeks post op: been a much longer than anticipated recovery but finally able to hug my husband and children without pain! A little discomfort still especially on the sides, but feels so good to hug! Size has gone down considerably, feels like just my own tissue except for firmness still on sides where tender. See PS on December 5 for last follow up, so happy shape is holding where scar tethering was!!

Finally getting some strength back and pain getting much more manageable, taking 4 ibuprofen liquigels three times a day, and sometime Tylenol in between, still have some discomfort in some lipo areas, but overall much better. Not able to get into my regular pants yet, too much swelling, but found some stretch waist jeans at Walmart in a large that fit comfortably, I usually wear a small to medium, so swelling is a long lasting side effect to be expected. Breasts looking very good, still larger than I hope they will be but such a great shape, still a lot of hard swelling on sides, which doc says is completely normal, that lymphatic system drains toward armpit area so that's the last area to go down. By 3-4 months, he said end result will be pretty apparent. Feeling much more positive and excited about results, still get tired easily and having to pace myself but each day better. Thank you for all the feedback and positive encouraging words!! I hope by posting my experience, I help someone else in theirs!
