Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Story: A Second Round for Fuller Curves

"I'm Dudu Fish, I'm 36, and I work as an administrative secretary. This time I had circumferential abdominal liposuction and fat transfer to the breasts. Last year I had thigh liposuction with breast fat grafting, which was mainly about the liposuction. The result turned out great and my breast shape was really different, so this time I wanted to make the overall shape even nicer, and decided to have liposuction with breast fat grafting again..."

Fat grafting focused on the upper chest: fuller breasts, up 2 cup sizes

I haven't actually measured the difference in cup size, but compared with the very beginning I feel I'm at least two cup sizes bigger, and it looks very different. My original goal was liposuction, not my breasts, so I didn't choose implant breast augmentation. But the result was so good that I chose to do it a second time. At the consultation I specifically told the doctor I wanted my upper chest to look more prominent and full, so clothes would sit better and I'd look more rounded.

Dr. Che-Wei Chang is upbeat and reminded me to be careful with the compression garment

This time I had the surgery at the Taoyuan branch with Dr. Che-Wei Chang. He specifically reminded me to pay more attention to the compression garment after circumferential abdominal liposuction. When I had thigh liposuction I only wore a regular compression garment, but this time there was an extra padded insert, which he said would make my abdomen smoother. I thought that was pretty special. I also remember Dr. Chang being very lively; he chatted with me at the start of surgery, which made me less nervous, walked me through the anesthesia and told me I'd be prettier when I woke up. It put me in a great mood for the surgery.

Are compression garments important after liposuction? Do you have to wear one? Everything you need to know

A clean diet for the first week, and two servings of collagen a day

I didn't do anything special before surgery except make sure I didn't lose weight, because keeping a certain weight means there's more intact fat to harvest. My main aftercare was taking two servings of collagen a day plus vitamin C, because the body needs vitamin C to make collagen. I took two servings because the body can't absorb all of it, and I wanted to make sure more of it was absorbed. I think it made a big difference, with better fat retention. I also cooked all three meals myself for the first week after surgery and ate very clean, to keep my body in a state where it could heal quickly. At my one-month follow-up the doctor was actually surprised that I could already fasten my compression garment on the third row of hooks, so I think post-op diet is really important.

Back to exercise after a month, and no bra to avoid pressing on the breasts

About a month after surgery, I noticed that because I always sleep on the same side, my right breast had shifted a little, while the left one kept its shape perfectly. I quickly changed my sleeping position, and after checking with the doctor I started exercising to strengthen my chest muscles so they could support my breasts. The doctor said any exercise was fine, just nothing with big jumps or too intense. I also asked if I could go to hot springs, and he actually recommended it because it promotes circulation. He also advised me not to put too much pressure on my breasts and, if I could manage it, not to wear a bra for three to six months, so the shape could set first; that way it would stay prettier.

VASER liposuction leaves small incisions and heals fast and smooth

I think VASER liposuction incisions really are tiny. When I peeled the tape off they were almost invisible. They healed quickly with no splitting, everything was smooth, and the compression garment didn't rub. The bruising from the abdominal liposuction wasn't severe; because of the compression it gathered in my lower body and faded in about two weeks, without affecting daily life. But since the skin and tissue had been separated, pressing hard still hurt a bit, and that gradually got better over one to two months.

Thrilled with my perkier breasts: follow your doctor's advice

I'm almost three months post-op, and my satisfaction is 9 out of 10. My whole breast shape is lifted, especially the upper chest, and clothes look perkier on me; swimsuits in particular look very different. If you're thinking about liposuction with breast fat grafting, visit several clinics first and find one that truly has your best interests at heart and helps you understand the whole procedure. NAISS is a place where I felt very comfortable~ Then follow the doctor's advice carefully, and your result will last!
