Ten years later

Hi everyone. I had been reminiscing about my surgery which was over ten years ago! I actually have gone down a band size and up a cup size since then. This may be due to perimenopausal fat distribution -- getting more fat in the belly and upper body. Anyway, I now wear a 32DDD or 34DD depending on the bra. I exercise more than I did ten years ago but weigh the same - 125 on most days. My lipo sites are pretty much the same with no added fat or lumps, though I'm more muscular now than ten years ago. I still would like to lose more fat, but my body seems to want to hold onto it even more now (again, think this is part of being almost 50 and going through perimenopausal hormonal changes!) If anyone is thinking of doing a breast fat transfer instead of implants, and you have the fat to do so, I highly recommend it! No one who knows me and doesn't know about the surgery has every mentioned my breasts being "done". They look very natural, and they have stayed full for ten years now, though they are a bit lower hanging, so look best when I wear a bra.

Still look pretty much the same. I've been working out several times a week and have more muscle, but still have fat in my stomach and inner thighs and haven't lost any weight (holding at 125 pounds). I'm at the point that I know my body won't look perfect so I have accepted how I look. I like myself clothed better than naked, especially because my stomach isn't flat, and my breasts look much better in a bra, even though they're bigger now than pre-fat transfer. I'm not willing to get a tummy tuck to deal with my stomach, which I probably the only way to make it flat after three kids, and I don't think I will do another fat transfer, though I have enough fat left to do another one. I enclosed a few more pictures. Not great quality, but things look pretty similar. I circled the visible scar I have left from surgery on my back. Any other white marks are spots on the mirror!

Realself - I found the names of three doctors in my area who do fat transfers to breasts, and had consultations with them all. The first dr. said I didn't have enough fat (ha! Look at those before pictures!) but he didn't look at my lower body - I was wearing jeans. The second dr. gave me an estimate for fat transfer and augmentation, as well as the third dr. I went with Dr. Sowder because I thought her fat transfer results looked better. Now, 3 months later, I really love Dr. Sowder's technique - my breasts look great - the cleavage and upper pole fullness are nice. I love her bedside manner, as well. She's friendly and spends enough time during appointments that you don't feel rushed.
