I am planning on flying to Salt Lake City to go to Portica Cosmetic for fat transfer from my stomach to the breast area. I researched other doctors and found her office and her to be the best. I feel she will put my safety first and do an excellent job. I am having Vaser Lipo done and then micro fat injections to the breast.

Hi, the fat cells are very delicate and need some expert handling to survive transplantation. Any lipo that utilizes technology to break apart fat cells will not work. Do yourself a favor and post that as a question of the surgeons. Good luck.

Thank you! I was wondering about that too!

Good luck! I know someone else who had a successful fat transfer with Vaser Lipo. They are 2 years out and have had good retention. Keep us posted and congrats on scheduling your surgery!

Are they on here?! I would love to see the results :)

I am sure you already know this, but I checked out your doctor as I am always curious who is doing fat transfers and I noticed she is not board certified in plastic surgery, but family medicine. Not that being board certified in ps guarantees anything as my doc was board certified but apparently lacked liposuction skills even though she was good at transferring fat but I just wanted to mention it. I am sure you are already aware of it. My friend also used a cosmetic surgeon not a ps and had good results.

Yes, I was hesitant as well... I emailed her and she put my mind at ease, she performs lipo regularly and is a perfectionist... I was going to go with someone in Canada who was board certified, and a plastic surgeon, but I had to go with my gut and move forward with Dr. Allen... I have to have faith from now on i guess... :)

I wish i had read your comment before wasting money and having my surgery with her

Wouldn't it be better to retain the extra fat for the transfer?? You're going to get lipo in the areas you want to reduce anyways..

I have heard that you should be near your goal weight? I am sure my breast area will lose weight first, then my arms... its the way it goes for me, so it should all work out ;)
