Summary
March 13, 2024, I had fat transfer to the breast and I had SO many questions on the procedure, rightfully so. For every question, I had even more answers and things to talk about. There's so many misconceptions about this procedure, so many things people don't realize (and things even I didn't realize), and honestly just a lot to talk about with a surgery like this. If you've followed along for a while, you know I got very sick from breast implants back in 2016 and had them removed. In this episode, I dive into:
- why I chose to have fat transfer after having implants
- choosing a surgeon (or in my case, surgeons)
- considerations + expectations for fat transfer, especially as an already lean + athletic person without a lot of fat to "give"
- the day of surgery
- the first few days of recovery, the first few weeks of recovery, and the first 2 months of recovery
- restrictons + rules for recovery
- the importance of lymphatic drainage + wearing your compression garment
- the SWELLING dear god the swelling (including in areas I didn't expect to have swelling in)
- pain, stiffness, hardness, numbness, etc in recovery
- exercise restrictions + getting back into movement post-op
- looking worse after surgery before you look normal
- the timeline of swelling, recovery, etc
- the mind f*ck of surgery, swelling, and being a little heavier/puffier post op than I was pre-op
- other things that I didn't expect or fully expect from this surgery that you may want to know if you do this
- the results/outcome/etc
