WORTH IT$10,000
Hey all. Just tried to take a new photo, but my photo gave me a bunch of 'camera fail's then turned itself off. I'll try to remember to get a new one from a more easily comparable angle. In the meantime, I'm including a recent photo where I'm lying down in bed. You can see volume, but not shape. Things are still good!
I think my size was final around 6-8 months... that seemed to be when some of the perkiness settled into heaviness, but that's to be expected of real breasts. I still want it done again, but I don't know exactly when it will be.
The experience with the lipo was almost more significant than with the transfer. For about 6 months after the procedure, no matter what I ate, or how much I ate, I still had a astoundingly flat stomach. Some bad habits developed. Now I'm trying to make them go away because weight is definitely appearing on my arms and I'm concerned it's appearing on my face. This is a familiar struggle that I've managed before successfully, just the location has changed.
So.. yea... things are good. I'm pleased I did the procedure. I continue to enthusiastically endorse Dr.Kesarwani's work. I think that if you want to change your breasts, but not destroy/rebuild them completely, then this is the perfect procedure.

Ok, 6 months out. Nothing has hanged for a while and I don't predict it will, so this could be my last update.
My feelings about my breasts have changed dramatically.. in large part thanks to my breasts changing shape.. they're bigger, fuller, bouncier, rounder, perkier, heavier, more attention demanding. I haven't felt jealous of anyone else's body since the procedure. I haven't had any negative side effects. My only regret is not losing weight before the procedure.
I do have more stretch marks. iI don't fit into a lot of size small shirts anymore. They are heavier. I still have small spots from the lipo.. I think the ones on the backs of my thighs are the only ones that could be noticed.
I don't have lumps. I don't have pain. I don't worry about rupture or scar tissue or having to replace an implant.
So yea.. all around this has worked out perfectly for me. I think that, when the procedure is done well, it's pretty much perfect. My breasts look and feel 100% natural.. they feel like mine just delicately engineered to be the best version of mine.
If I suddenly come across the money, I may do a second round. Hard to say. At this point, all is well.
Lovely talking to you all.

Awesome! You look great! One question: how is your lipo? Is it perfect or any imperfections from it?
Please try to update us at 1 year as it it nice to confirm results at a year out and we love to hear from you...so witty!

The lipo has been good. It came from my back, my stomach, my inner thighs, and my thighs below my bum. One stitch (for my stomach) was hidden in my belly button. Two more were at the corners of my public area.. sort of where my underwear sits in front. The marks in my back were hidden in a tattoo. The only noticeable marks might be the ones on the backs of my thighs... but you'd have to be sitting and I'd have to be standing to see them. No irregularities. No ruts, no unevenness. My thighs were VERY stiff for about two months afterwards... it was a pretty extreme regression in yoga ability, but they've recovered now.

Wao0!I wish I had your patience!
By the way what do you mean by " My only regret is not losing weight before the procedure"!Does it say if I want to do the same procedure I can't run or joggle again?!
October 23, 2013
Lol, I have no patience. I think around 400cc was transferred in total. You can jog and run and lose weight all you want afterwards, but if you lose it before then the transfer will be more "concentrated" in a way. More fat cells will be transferred because they're smaller when you're thinner. Then... if you gain the weight back after the procedure... your distribution might just be a more extreme version of the results.

I have laughing out loud reading through your review. Your dr K is one of the surgeons I consulted 5 or 6 years ago about my capsular contractures. Don't think he was doing fatgrafting then. I have had my implants removed 7 months ago and had some fatgrafting, but am going back for more on Wednesday. Doing this in SA.
Good luck and keep us posted, your updates are very funny.

Hi :) I am about to do this surgery for a second time here in Toronto. I sent a message to your inbox on here. Hope to hear from you soon! Your results look great!

Love your review. I'm considering FT as I had my implants removed a year ago and they are pretty empty and the nipples need pushing out. I am petrified of the lipo - i'm thin and really don't need it. I wish that people could donate fat (gross!). Thanks for the info on being as fit as possible as I have been trying to gain weight figuring that they would need to take it from somewhere. Enjoy your new body and thanks.

why are u worried about gaining weight in arms and face ? if thats a pssoibility , now am even more excited about getting that FT done also about larger butt thats more exciting! I do need some fat in arms face and butt actually and boobs and less from hips and lovehandle area!
August 20, 2013
Yea, I mean the equivalent amount of fat you get sucked out could pop up in lots of exciting new places. Hips and bum (and boobs) I'm fine with, face and arms I'm not. It's good you're excited, especially if you're Brava'ing, which requires such motivation. Best of luck!
August 20, 2013
Thank u! Am not bravaing and yeah its interesting what u said about fat popping up in weird places!
August 20, 2013
Your bra looks great! Have your arms & face gained a little weight?
I know anything not lipoed can gain. I definitely feel like my weight went to my stomach, but and waist (around the middle), not great. My friend who had her stomach and legs done gained in the hips and she is thrilled cause she had no hips. So, sometimes it works out for some and not for others.
August 20, 2013
I haven't actually noticed it happening, although someone did make a joke about my arms looking fat in a photo recently. Probably also because I've been living abroad for the last three months and not following a yoga schedule as I need to in order to feel strong and thin and healthy. All in all, things continue to be well tho.
August 22, 2013
Looking good girl! Glad to hear everything's still going well and you are pleased with your results.
August 29, 2013
yea... but i also want to have it done again at some point. it helped immensely, but i'd really like for them to be a bit more rounded in the middle. i guess i'm not in a huge hurry. next time i have 10 000 lying around though...

Loved hearing your story. You mentioned dr khouri...were you thinking of going to him originally? I was contemplating going for a consultation with him but I have been reading both good and not so good reviews about him..
September 9, 2013
I read a lot about him right after I learned about the procedure. I did consider him, but flying down was not going to happen. I found Khouri and Coleman listed as sources of information often. I think those two have written a lot of articles and trained others doctors in this. Khouri seems to be single handedly behind the Brava- the supporting scientific trials came out of his practice and he sells them. (Apparently the device was around for a long time before anyone realized it might be useful for pre expansion before fat transfer. It was Khouri who put those two together, managing the problem of retention and the problem of the Brava not leading to permanent growth.) If Khouri is convenient for you, cool. But I don't think he's worth a flight. Unless you're very thin. He seems capable of harvesting fat from a lot of girls who are thin and would be turned away from other doctors. I'm also not sure about the Brava tbh. I don't think it's at all necessary if the breasts are saggy, but his ft empire is built on that device.

No tea or coffee might be something to do with lowering the oestrogen levels in the body. They say Oestrogen Rich Foods can help with breast growth?
September 9, 2013
Well there you go. I gave up smoking and underwire at least! When I do it again, I might go all out and try fenugreek and whatever other herbs are rumoured to promote hormonal responses that are hospitable to breast swelling/growth/whatever.
