Fat Transfer to the Breast: Surgery, Recovery, Expectations, an Alternative to Implants?, and the Mind F*ck of This Surgery | with host Emily Duncan


Listen Later

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
