I've never been obese, or really in the overweight...

WORTH IT$3,500
I've never been obese, or really in the overweight category, more on the heavy end of normal. When I went in for my procedure I was 5'7 150 pounds. That's the heaviest I've been in about 7 years. Prior to that my biggest weight was 170 for a year after having my second child (this is overweight, but since I never put it back on again I don't really count it) I've always extremely bottom heavy, and light in the bra area, especially after having and breastfeeding 2 kids, my breasts were just totally deflated.
Breast implants are great for a lot of woman, but I don't want anything like that in me, especially since the are supposed to be replaced every 10-15 years. That's way too much commitment.
I had heard of fat transfer years ago with the Brava system, but the price was nearly 10k, and I didn't have that much money, nor the desire to spend that much. I thought the idea was perfect of course, take fat from where you don't want it and add it to where you do.
I have started gaining weight around my belly, which has been annoying because I always had a really flat stomach so I at least felt good in tank tops, and I didn't anymore. There was an offer for tumescent lipo for $1200, so I called the provider and asked if he could do fat transfer as well, and he said absolutely, when I asked about the extra cost he said it would be another $1000 to add that on. That was way too good of a deal to refuse, losing my belly and getting breasts for under $2500!
During the consultation I added on my lower back, arms and basically the armpit fat area. I was super shocked at the cost being so low. I decided to wait on my lower body as you often need to get 2 transfers done on to get your breast to the right size. The fat transfer isn't an exact science like implants. Also, this is an awake outpatient procedure so their is a smaller limit to the amount of fat the doctor can take (this is also why the cost is so low, so I really don't mind!)

Just finished round 2
nearing40June 8, 2017
I went in two days ago to finish with the lipo and add more fat to my breasts, and I went for the face as well this time. This time it was really about getting my thighs done, and I got suctioned for about two hours while awake, it was pretty intense, but worth it. My breasts look amazing from the transfer I had done about 10 weeks ago (As far as feel and shape, they look totally natural and like the belong on a teenager as far as perkiness, and they are quite a bit bigger), but I want to try for even larger. I would say I went from being a deflated B to about a large C cup, he put 500cc in each side and I would estimate about half of it stayed.
As far as the fat transfer to the face, this is the part I am more nervous about. I've always looked old for my age, so I really wanted to do the fat transfer to face for more fullness. I still look like a chipmunk right now and I can't smile, but I'm only 2 days out. I'm surprised I don't have more bruising. I don't have any bruises on my face yet, I'm hoping this lasts as I go back to work next week. The Doctor said the swelling in my face would go down after a week, and it should look pretty good in 3 weeks.

hello. I got a little confused..
how many cc did the doctor put in each breast in the first transfer? what size did the first transfer get you up to?
did you reach a large C cup after the 2nd transfer or the first?

The doctor put 400cc in each breast the first time which took me to the the C cup. He has now put 850cc in each breast, and I'm huge, but I don't know how much will last at this point. I'm currently sitting at a rock hard full DD.

Just adding photos
nearing40June 8, 2017
I don't want to add any photos of my body, because I've told too many people about having done this and it would be pretty humiliating to have my boob picks going around work, but I'm adding the face photos. I'll keep updating the changes every few days.

hello, thank you for sharing. You look great and youthful!! I was looking to get lipo (thigh and ab) from the same Dr. but I am very nervous with the recovery time and results. I was wondering how are your results from lipo turn out? are they symmetrical or lumps? Any information you can provide would be so helpful to me. thank you kindly

I have been extremely happy with the procedure, my husband is actually pretty Delirious about the results. It's been 9 months now and my breast still look awesome. The banana rolls and saddlebags are completely gone from my thighs which makes me happy, my thighs still don't look great though, I either have cellulite or loose skin or a combination of both. But I'm much happier with my shape and jeans or a skirt. Recovery really wasn't too bad, I was definitely not wanting to get out of bed for the first couple of days, but after less than a week I was ready to be up and moving around though a bit sore. I have no asymmetry are lumps whatsoever. And as a plus, anytime I gain a couple of pounds, it goes to my breasts more than anywhere else!
I'm also happy with the fat transfer to face, although I don't think those results jump out quite as much, which is probably good because if they did that would probably mean I looked a bit like a freak. Everything looks completely natural, and that is just what I wanted.

That is great! Thank you for sharing and your reply. I am really nervous and scare about the procedure. I really appreciate it.

How much did it cost for fat transfer to breast and how much was it to the face? What size did your breast settle at after 8mo?
March 2, 2018
Thanks for posting, I have 1 more question you mentioned. You put 400cc and was a C (small or full C) was that the final size after shrinkage. How long after did you go in for second round? After shrinkage you are still at a DD second round? Thanks!
