Plus Size Lipo and Breast Fat Transfer

I began my cosmetic surgery journey over the summer after finally finding a Lipo procedure I could afford that didn't involve me flying down to Miami. My first procedure was for the Bra roll area as I had always had an excess amount of fat there that would never change no matter what my weight was. I booked that procedure in June and was super happy with the results so I went ahead and booked for the 3 areas of lipo and one fat transfer special they had going on. I booked it for about 3 months out and was super excited to go in on October 5th for the procedure. I am plus size and struggle with PCOS which constantly makes my body out if whack. I have traditionally had small boobs and a large Fupa & all that back fat. Needless to say I was eager to contour and feel more comfortable in my clothes. I also have had 3 children which has added to the belly. However, I do eat healthy and exercise regularly
I was excited to go in for the procedure and obviously a little anxious as well. I Unfortunately had opted to take meds and stay awake, which I seriously regret. If you can afford the anaesthesia do it! The doctor has always been fairly personable and both times I've felt comfortable working with him. We discussed what I wanted and he then marked me up and got me ready to go. I will say the procedure itself was super painful although I was able to talk. However, we got through it and all seemed good until I was put into my compression garment. This happened the first time as well, but it happening again definitely added some frustration. The first time they did not put me into the correct compression because they were "out" this time they put me in a compression garment 2 sizes too big that was so loose it felt like it was falling off. I mentioned it but was so loopy from the meds I only remember the response being that it wasn't a big deal. The doctor, however, had said that I would be placed in a very tight compression garment which just did not happen. So when I got home and finally came to I got up and put my waist trainer on over the loose garment which helped alot with the pain as well. I then proceeded to order a compression garment online which I am currently waiting for. I typically wear XL in compression garments and was put in a 2XL there.
I am still early into recovery but am not sure how I'm feeling about the current results. I do like the boobs and already know that I will likely get another transfer in the next few years to achieve the size I want, but my main disappointment is the size of my Fupa which doesn't seem to have changed at all (say goodbye to the dream of high waisted pants). That was my biggest reason for wanting this procedure so I'm a little sad my expectations don't seem to be met. However, it is still early and I am a plus size gal so I will see how it develops. Hopefully it will go down after a few weeks. We also were supposed to even out the size of my boobs, but one is now still much bigger than the other.
All in all my body is much more contoured than when I started and I am grateful for that. I will see how I heal and then possibly consider other procedures down the road.
I also will post more pictures of the lipo areas when I clean up the incisions again tomorrow.

Still uncertain about how much belly I still have and don't see much of a change in the before and after pics of the lower belly area. I'm still waiting it out and remaining hopeful. Overall I do feel a bit more shapely than I did previously and the pain has lessened alot today. I will be going for a follow up heat treatment tomorrow and will see what they say then about the lower belly area. I had done a lot of research on plus size liposuction before going in so I definitely had slightly different expectations for how the area would look afterwards and I was hoping it would be more tuckable because it's the bane of my existence when it comes to wearing pants and any type of shirt that is even mildly short.

Otherwise I'm happy with the other results. We did put 400 cc of fat into my breasts and I think doing one more round of that in a couple of years will get me to the size I ultimately want. I'm happy with these for now though

Yesterday I discovered that alot of my swelling and bruising was not as noticeable from the front, but when cleaning my entry points yesterday I finally was able to move my belly enough to find all the bruising. This is definitely a contributing factor to why it is still so large so I am working on patience and posting updates for all of this journey. I know this looks pretty gross as well, but it's a part of it and I just gotta remind myself that the healing is the hardest part. I'm also now day 4 post op and have had a flare up in pain where it was seemingly better yesterday, but I am heading in for a contouring post lipo treatment at the clinic today that should help with fluid build up, swelling, and pain relief. My Boobs on the other hand still look a little bruised but actually feel fine with little to no pain which I am happy about.
