Not Worth It. I'm So Disappointed a Year Later

It is a year later and I am not happy with the breast fat transfer. I have scars still and even bought scar stuff to try and help. Nope.
My breasts aren't what I thought they would be, only when they were swollen did they look a decent size. I didn't expect a whole 2 cups bigger, but at least 1 or even almost one.
It sucks. I wore the brava which is horrible. For longer than they even asked me too. I wanted to make sure. Wearing that thing is terrible and itchy. I've seen others unhappy from this procedure at this place, but man. I don't have much money and saved up for this. Ugh. It sucks.

Very Disappointed
Khaleesi3000September 27, 2015
It's to much work for what I ended up with. I waited to write this to see if my scars would go away and they haven't. There are about 6 incisions on each breast that are VERY visible.
I asked if they would go away and he said they would. It's not happening. I had to wear that BRAVA for a long time and it did work a bit but with wearing 10-12 hours a day with a kid in the house that's not mine, I was pretty much stuck in the bedroom for weeks. It sucked but I figured with how much I was paying I would suck it up.
Then they have you switch to the high powered sucking this and in for sure will cave in your Brava system leading you to have to buy a new one so you have one when surgery is over so you can again wear the brava after surgery. It's just a big discomfort and change of lifestyle for about 4 months.
So then I go in for surgery and at a consultation incisions of this amount were not mentioned. I read in Miami they have the fat injections through needles.
I am also pretty much the size I was before with a little extra. Its just for $11,000 (this is the cost after the surgery, brava, having to buy new domes for brava, doctor to check for breast cancer and then never seeing the results for myself even after calling, and $500 for a Lipo firming thing that would help with tightening the skin after surgery) it didn't do anything at all, I didn't even bother to continue with the rest because I had to drive 45 min for it, and nothing was happening, but the office ladies are the sweetest ever!! I also got very little Lipo taken out of anywhere because my stomach was the same size 2 weeks later, he didn't let me pick where to take it from. I said my arms or legs and stomach, he said my stomach area would be enough and some out of my back, which also wasn't noticeable. I wonder why? When I feel like not much of anything was gone. To me I feel like they tell you "it's like getting bigger boobs and Lipo at the same time" ugh...nope.
I am just sadly disappointed in the whole thing, and now I have to pay money and save up for laser treatment to remove scars from the surgery under my breasts, one of my favorite places is my dimples above my butt and there is a huge scar between them now because of this surger, and also down right on my bikini line, all worst and show able places to be.
So would I get this surgery again, possibly by a different doctor like the one in Miami who I hear is amazing, but I even thought I didn't finish the $500 after didn't get any calls asking for me to come back or check to see if I was.

Thank you for posting an update. I'm sorry you are disappointed in your results. I have been researching breast fat transfer vs breast implants for a while. Fat transfer can be so unpredictable because the fat may not survive. Breast implants are more predictable as far as volume but unpredictable as far as complications and will need to be replaced. This is why I have opted to love what God gave me. All the best to you!

I am so sorry it didn't work out. I had the same result. I wanted a big space filled going up and down in my left breast and it didn't work. The space is still present. Now the fat removed from my abdomen left sagging skin there and that looks bad. I don't know if fat transfer really works on a permanent basis but I am 73 so I am sure that makes a difference. Thanks for sharing and God Bless.

I am sorry it isn't what you had expected. That sucks to have all the money spent on something that doesnt get you what you signed up for. But what I can tell you is that you dont need to go for laser for scars. Skin regenerates every single day and you just need to give your skin cells time. It will get better every day just have patience.

Wow just read through all these posts and it seems like you went through so much and got little results. How discouraging. I really do hope that with time your scars go away. You mention a great dr. In miami. Would you happen to remember their name? I'm considering this procedure BUT after reading your posts....I'm not sure anymore. Thanks and much luck to you!

About 4 weeks after surgery
Khaleesi3000July 16, 2015
My breasts still look full just not like they were. I guess the swelling went down, but I expected them to stay somewhat bigger than they are now. I know they weren't going to be large D but I looked at the 3D imaging the other day when I went in for my one month, and I didn't see that much of a difference now between before I got it done. I'm not very rich and wanted this to lift up my boobs and maybe get a full cup bigger especially after the money and the weeks wearing the brava before hand and after. I did everything I could to make it so the fat lives. Idk I'm gonna wait a couple more weeks to see how it goes. I also wanted to do this again closer to Christmas time but idk now as I can't afford a full treatment again ???? especially if I am not getting the results I wanted. But like I said I hope it improves

So sad to hear that. I hope that fat stays! :) You should give a try to implants, the can give you a natural look as well. :)
July 21, 2015
Yeah I don't want implants at all. It's just not an option for me, but I expected to see at least a cup size bigger on these and now I don't think they are. A little disappointed because about 2 weeks ago when I put a swimsuit on they looked great and all of a sudden it's like they pretty much went back to my regular Size that I was before the surgery.

I know Dr Hartog saves some patient fat…do you get charged for a touch up after some fat has absorbed?
August 3, 2015
What kind of touch up? You have to pay extra to save fat unfortunately. It was like over $1000 otherwise I would have done it. The whole procedure was a bit high for the results I got. I am still waiting for my scaring to go down.
