Last monday, January 27, I had another suurgery to my breast (you can read my previous review here). I'm 42 years old, had my first set of implants hen I was 19, change of implants at 38, corrective surgery 2012, at 40, and explantation in december the same year. I was so tired of my boobs and the same time curious how boobs would look without implant. The looked fine, or at least ok, but very small, and the more I thought of fat transfer to fill out the whinkles and empty skin above the over the nipples, the better sounded the idea. But now I am not so sure, 6 days post op I don't feel very well and boobs are purple, very very swollen an hot. Doctor says it's normal to reach maximum swelling after a week, but I am worrying about infection even though I am on antibiotics. Well, can only wait and see. Already tired of wearing the compression pants as well. I'll upload some pictures, and this worries me too, when I have glances at other women's pictures here, my boobs seem extranordinarily bruised?
I had fat taken from outside of thighs and a little from flanks, 280 cc was transferred to each breast.

Soon 2 weeks post op, feeling better

This thursday I was back on check with a nurse and stitches were taken. I have only 4 little scars, one on each hip and one under each breast. Thighs look ok, most of bruising is gone but it still hurts like muscle pain. I am so, so tired of these compression pants, and nurse told med I am supposed to wear these 24/7 for 5 weeks and then day or night for 5 more weeks! Gah, I thought I could throw these away soon. So I have ordered a new pair and I hope that they will itch less.
Boobs are ok, less and less purple for each day, and their shape look much as before only a little bigger. Unfortenately it looks like my scar tissue under the right breast is still there. I have had this since former breast surgery and it causes the skin to be drawn in under the right breast. Actually it is more visible now as my crease is a little lowered, fat is not only filled in the middle of the breast but on a bigger area around the breast. I am not sure if I made the right desicion to do this, the look of my breasts now doesn't make me jump of joy but still I know I have to wait much longer for the final result.

Hi! In april I am having my implants removed, getting a lift, and getting fat transfer to my breasts from my inner thighs. Thank you for sharing your story and making me aware of what I can expect. Am I going to have to wear compression pants?? Where do u get them? Online
Thanks and any tips or advice is appreciated!

Hi Derasha! I understand you have a big transformation ahead of you! Yes, I think you always have to wear compression garment after lipo. I got my pair at the clinic and I have ordered another pair on internet. I live in Sweden, Europe and I ordered from a Swedish web shop. Just google it and I guess you will find some. It is to minimize swelling and to make tissue hela properly. Nurse told me; your adipose tissue is now like Schweizer cheese and it needs compression to heal. Hm, sounds a little scary to me.

His are you doing Mary? Are you satisfied wit your results so far?

Hi Shantel,
I am ok, thanks for asking! Bruising is mostly gone but boobs are a bit sore. I still can not say if I'm satisified with the result. My worst fear of lumps has not happened but size, I really do not know, I hope that boobs will not shrink any more. Thighs look fine though! Even if I think a little more could have been taken away, but maybe PS saved some for another round of FT.

Please don't shrink more!
Swedish MaryFebruary 13, 2014
Yesterday it was 16 days post FT and from morning when I got dressed and until night when I got undressed and went to bed, help! I think boobs shrunk a lot, what did I do, have I've not rested properly and worked too much or lifted my child? No work out for 4 weeks PS said but everyday life is hard to escape from. I really hope that they wont get smaller, or it just won't be worth the money or pain. Well, apart from thighs, they look fine but still a bit swelling.
I am a little sad about my dent or scar tissue, I posted a new picture and in the picture it really shows how the right boob is a little misshaped. I've tried to contact PS but he is on vacation. I understand that nothing can be done about it right now, but I would like to know if it is fixable or I will need to learn to live with it.

I jys had fat graft on my face 5 days ago n i m devastated.. I look out of proportion with long chin.. Wat should i do i jus need it to be reversed
February 16, 2014
Five days is to soon -- it takes about 6 weeks for the graft to take or not take -- you are best to leave alone so it doesn't get all misplaced. It should be bumpy and swollen --- give it some time to settle down and you probably will love the results.

Thx darl!! In fact i m flashing suicidal feeling ... I look like a cat lady... 6wks.. Thas reassuring as i knw i ve enough time fr it to change..
February 16, 2014
I know it's so frustrating -- I was writing to people on this web-site saying was it normal not to be able to smile -- it was awful -- my surgeon said "you can smile" I'm thinking "yea, but not like I use too" BUT, I know can smile BETTER -- face still swollen in those areas but I can smile!! Yea!! Oh, seems like some fat took and some did not on the smile creases -- but I am just leaving alone - minus touching somewhat - but it's just to soon ---I am up and about -- one eye needs more concealer than the other -- but no more hiding -- that is the good news.

Please keep us posted -- I was just reading another girls fat transfer to breasts --- but totally different looking -- hope all keeps getting better for you ---

Thanks for your comment! I will keep posting and add pictures. It is only 4 days since my last picture ( sorry about it upside down) but when I look at it now I think boobs are even smaller today. How I dislike this boob focus that takes over my brain. When I decided for this procedure I was definitive on not doing it a second time. I just wanted a little more to fill out the emptiness. Well, where is my mind going now? Already thinking of a refill as there is clearly so much more to take on my legs. I will post pictures on thighs soon but it is hard to take good pics on legs by yourself. Best wishes.
