I am thinking of getting my implants removed and getting a fat transfer

[Summer37 78]

Has anyone had a fat transfer to the breast?

Why are you wanting to remove your implants? I've been considering the same but decided to downsize instead.

@vlinder has had a fat transfer from memory. Hopefully she can give you some advice.

Thanks butterfly 

Yes summer, i have had the procedure done, well actually 3 times so far, and (perhaps) one more time.    Basically in my situation i had no other choice but very happy i did.  The process is rather time consuming as there can be up to 50% absorption of the harvested fat, that's why i needed the process done more then once.  Donor sites are abdomen, front and sites. my waiting time between 'treatment' was about 5-6 month, with a fair amount of bruising.   A skilled plastic surgeon is needed as placement of your fat is VIP !            

Happy to explain more if needed

Thanks vlinder. Can I ask who was your surgeon? what size did you start out with and what are you now? How much  did your body absorp each time?

 

Thanks again

I believe they are causing a few issues in my body and to be honest I have never loved that fake look. Don't get me wrong I love them when wearing clothes that covers them but when naked, in small tank tops I don't love them. I literally hide them away as I think they make me top heavy and I have never worn a bikini since having them. Only the bathers that have a high neck. Also one side has always been sore and it keeps getting worse. I have also got lumps in that breast since getting them which are benign but I am over having biopsies and ultrasounds plus have no upper body strength at all anymore as they make working out very hard.

My surgeon is Terrence Scamp.  Starting with bra size 12c,  now pending brand, i use 14dd.  my absorption was certainly 50% hence needed more than 1 treatment ( we needed to match my other side)   It's not a question: " let's fill this boob to the max", doing that will 'kill' the fat cells,  so it's a fine line, needing a expert

HI again

Thanks for the info. I am trying to decipher  between the different techniques here in Australia and by Dr Bednar in Charlotte USA. He puts alot in, sometimes up to 600cc's (30% is fluid) and gets amazing results. I am part of his facebook group and the ladies there have the fat still after more than 2 years and one 7 yrs+.  I have consulted with Dr Chin in Brisbane and he says he can get me to a B cup (no guarantees) in one transfer of 75cc to each breast. He said he will try and out more in but it depends on breast tissue. Did you consult with him? Trying to get everyones experience so I don't need to consult more than 2-3 doctors. I am in Sydney and consulting with Dr ellis Choy on Friday. If you want to pm that fine. Then you can see my pre implant and post photos.

Hi Summer, since i needed fat transfers i consulted only with my plastic surgeon, no one else. However that decision was based because i have now been a patient of his for a while now.   If you start anew, i would also get more then one opinion from a specialist.   Getting  advice from women is good but never the same as getting expert medical opinions.    of course you will find they all have their own method of doing things ?!

I got a 2nd opinion today from dr choy in sydney. He believes I have capsular contrscture and that my original surgeon did not release that muscle correctly when implanting which is why I have had pain for 4 years and the breast sitting higher than the other. He did not want to do a fat transfer same time as explanting and did not think I needed a lift either. He did keep saying I would look worse after explanting and that I would most likely be concaved. The surgeon in brisbane will do all 3 at once and the lift is to compresd my tissue so he has more to work with for FT. I sm confused as what to do.
