Almost 2 months since 2nd transfe
BeagleBaby1August 28, 2014
It's been almost 2 months since 2nd fat transfer and everything is going well. I am pleased with the results. Will post some pics. I go back to Dr. L on Sept 11th. I still need a little more fullness in the breast that was smaller to start with, so hubby and i are thinking maybe one more time with just a small amount transfered to get the results i want. It's so nice to finally start to feel comfortable i my own skin. Won't make that decision till at least the 6 month mark. Maybe I won't do it again, who knows, I'll make that decision later. I am very pleased with the results and am so glad i did it.

3 Weeks since 2nd fat transfer
BeagleBaby1August 4, 2014
It has been 3 weeks since my 2nd fat transfer. I used Brava before and after fat transfer the 1st time around. For the 2nd transfer I used the Brave before for expansion but decided not to use it after. I now wish I didn't use it after the 1st time. IMHO I think that using the brava after 1st transfer did not help in retaining the fat, it think it did the opposite. After the 2nd transfer it to ok a few days for the swelling to go away, then you could really see what results you would have. Don't get me wrong, I did loose some volume, but not as much as I lost the 1st time. The breast volume is holding its own right now. I seemed to have come to a stand still YEAH!! I'm maintain my weight at 127 which is good.
I still need some upper pole fullness in the right breast, hubby agrees, and said if I want to go one more time its ok. (I love this man of mine) I think he just likes the thought of them getting a little bigger each time. lol I guess I'm on the quest for the (almost) perfect breasts. I told hubby that if my breast would have been symmetrical I would never have gotten implants or anything. Implant made the nonsymmetrical breast symmetrical, until I had the implants taken out. I think Dr. L did a good job the 1st transfer since the right breast had very little natural tissue. So what I retained after loosing the weight was a base, so to speak, for the fat to hold for the 2nd transfer.
I am by far not a vain person. I'm not a plastic surgery junkie. I guess I just want what I never had . . symmetrical breasts. I promise to post some pics soon.

Thank you for posting your experience. I have been considering implants, fat transfer for years. I even bought a brava system some years ago but I did not stick with it. My life was too hectic for the 10 hour minimum every night. Your experience has made me a little more optimistic about fat transfer!

I figured I could commit to 10 hours a night while I slept. I knew it was only going to be for 4 weeks, so for me that made it doable. It's worth it in the end.

Did the doc do lips on the same areas? I want thus as well but wonder if I can have lips multiple times to certain areas.
August 12, 2014
No he didn't lipo the same area. 1st time he did the stomach and hips, 2nd time he did the thighs and inside of knees. I'm sure you can lipo the same area twice if you have enough fat there to take again.

Hi, I am very interested in your review, thank you!
can i ask u what about ur breast size now
is it the same size with your implant??
August 12, 2014
Hi! I wear a bigger bra now than I did with implants. With implants the breasts were more round, with fat transfer they seem to be wider and fuller. I'm not sure if they are wider because I had implants before or not. I am happy with the results I'm getting with the fat transfer. It's nice not to have the weight of the implants on my chest anymore. People think they won't feel the implants in their chest, but you do.

Plz I want to ask u if fat transfer is permanent or it is for 5 years as some others said
I dont know really
I want to do it but if it is 4 or 5 years only I dont think I will

Once the fat is there it is there. There isn't a life expectancy on the fat survival. If you loose a lot of weight after you have the fat transferred to your breasts your breasts will loose weight also and get smaller. I know this because after I had my 1st transfer done I lost 21 pounds and unfortunately I lost it from the breast also.
