WORTH IT$3,600
It has been a little over 2 years since my implants were removed. I don't regret having them out and not having newonce put in. That was July 2012. In march 2013 i had my 1st fat transfer to the breast done by the same ps that removed my implants. I had very good results and then i changed the way I was eating and lost 21 pound and alot of the fat from my breasts. It seems that was the 1st place i lost from. So i decided to have anothe transfer done. On July 11, 2014 I had my 2nd fat transfer to the breast. I am very please with the results. I still need upper pole fullness and extra all over fullness in the breast that sunk in after the implants were removed. I will wait untill at least the 6 month mark to make any decision on another transfer. I go back to see Dr. L on Sept 11th and i guess we will just take things from there. Just wanted to give a update on my journey from implants to all natural and add a few pics from each of the fat transfers.

Implants out - Fat in
BeagleBaby1November 8, 2013
It's been almost 1 1/2 years since I had my implants out and it been 7 months since I had the fat transfer to the breast. I can honestly say they were the best 2 decisions that I've made in a long time. I don't regret either of them. I look at the old pics with implants that I have posted here and I can't even remember looking like that. It's like I was looking at someone else's photos. I am still considering doing another fat transfer to the breasts just to fill out the breast that was smaller a little more. Thinking of waiting until the 1 yr mark, so that will take me to March. I still can't believe that I had implants in for all those years. I would like to think if I had to do it all over again I wouldn't get implants, but who am I kidding I probably would. But now I know all the down falls of implants and would never do it again. I am so happy with the fat transfer results, even if the breasts aren't perfect, they are all me. Did I mention how nice it is to breath without the elephants sitting on my chest.

Glad to hear it worked out for you. I am two weeks explanted. It's ironic thT before implant I did not have asymmetrical breasts but I do now! But I do have breast tissue now where before I had none. I only have about a half inch to one inch diff, a cup size but I plan on just pitting a pad in the smaller one. I do have tons of fat in my stomach. It don't have the heart for more. But yay for yours!

It is a big ajustment without implants, congrats on the decision to have them out. You had yours a lot longer than me. WOW . You will find as the months go by that they will get better and better. By the time I hit my 1yr mark I was pleased with the outcome and really decided weather I want to do the fat transfer or not. I still have some asymmetry (but not to bad) and will wait until March (1yr mark for fat transfer) to decide if I want to do another round for sure. Keep updating you pics so we can follow your progress. In 6 months you won't even remember what you looked like with implants.

I've only had my implants since the summer of 2011. But I want to have them out. Can anyone give me an idea of how bad it will look?
November 8, 2013
Honestly I think you will probably look fantastic. 2 years really isn't that long to have implants. I had mine out after having them for 30 years, if my skin can spring back anyones can. You should start a review here, even if you haven't really decided to have them out. There is so much support on this site. I probably wouldn't have taken mine out if I hadn't found this site. I don't regret it at all. I will be glad to answer any questions that I can.

I was nervous until they put me under and was going to chance my mine, but then I was awake and they were out. Would never have them put back in.

Hi BeagleBaby, Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your story! Thanks so much for sharing. I do have a ?, is there a reason why you did not do the fat transfer at the same time? Is it thought better to wait and do that at a later date? How much did your increase with the fat transfer?
April 14, 2014
Hi Love pink. My doctor thought it was best to wait and let the breast heal from the implants being removed for 6 months before doing the fat transfer. I ask about doing it at the same time and he said that wasn't even a option. I know some doctors do it at the same time with great results. I guess it just depends on the doctor. With my implants I was a B cup and with the fat transfer I went to a D cup. Now I lost some of that due to my own stupidity. I January (10 months after fat transfer) I decided to change the way I way eating and went on the 17 day diet. I lost 18 pounds and I'm sure you can guess where I lost some from. I have a appointment on April 16th to see Dr. L to have a 2nd transfer done.

Thanks so much for writing back and sharing your information. Sorry to hear about you losing some of the fat from your breasts, BUT i bet you look great! Good luck with your 2nd transfer I will be sending good thoughts your way on the 16th.
April 14, 2014
The transfer isn't being done on the 16th, I just go to see the Dr to schedule it.

Do you have any pictures, post fat transfer? Please post them. Thank you.
July 6, 2014
Hi! I do have some pictures post fat transfer and will add some to this blog. I have them in a different computer that I keep at my store. As soon as I go back to work I will post some. I closed for a little while, I am having another fat transfer done on July 11th. 5 more days to go. I also have a blog on the breast fat transfer page and there are quite a few pics there. If you want to hop over there you will some.
July 16, 2014
so glad for your experience, and that you don't have elephants on your chest anymore.
It would be great to see current pictures after you first fat transfer, and after the second.
why did you and your surgeon choose to explant first and later do the fat transfer?
do you think doing it at once is not a good idea?
July 16, 2014
Oh, I see.
You have two separate reviews ... ahhhhh
well, wow! they look really great! :)))))
congratulations on your lovely results.
July 16, 2014
Thank You. It's been 5 days since the 2nd transfer and I feel really good. Go to see my ps tomorrow. If I wouldn't have lost the weight I may not of needed the 2nd transfer. Weight is good now so these boobs should stay.

Dr. L thought it was better to take the implants out and let the breasts heal for 6 months before doing anything else. He has me in tight compression after the explant and you can't have compression on fat transferred breasts, it would have killed the fat. After having those things in me for so long the breasts really did need some TLC.
July 16, 2014
Ohhhh,,, I can't afford to have two procedures, so I am doing it all at once. I hope the fat will take.... I hope the newly placed fat and the healing chest area from where the implants are removed will not compete for oxygen and nutrients. I think it will be okay.
July 16, 2014
A lot of ladies have their implants out and fat transferred at the same time with very good results. I guess it was just my ps's preference to do it that way. He has very good rates so it didn't really cost me any more in the long run. I think you will have great results.

The next phase of my journey starts tomorrow. The ps office called and I need to be there at 12:30. A little nervious, but not to bad. I will be posting some pics of the breast while doing the brava system and some after the fat transfer. Right now I am wearing the domes 24/7 untill the time of surgery.

Good luck....keep us updated!
March 14, 2013
Thank you for your well wishes. I wouldn't even be doing another procedure if the breasts were both the same size. It seems crazy at my age. I guess your only as old as you feel. At least is a procedure that will be all me and no foreign objects in my body.
March 14, 2013
If this is what you want to do then I say do it. I am debating to do a lift or not. I probably won't decide until the day before. Part of me says at 56 so what if they hang to my knees but then I think it would be more comfortable if they weren't resting on my belly. I agree the most important thing is getting the foreign objects out. Keep me posted as my thoughts will be with you.
