Breast fat transfer with Vaser Lipo to upper & lower tummy & flanks

This will be my last update. I've tried to get photos that show depth and cleavage. The change is very subtle and not noticeable in photos unless the lighting is good but when I hold them in my hands it's crazy. I had zero fat in the cleavage pre op, but now it's like I can wear things and fill out the top part and squeeze my cleavage together, yeah!!! Instead of my tummy my breasts are fluctuating with my weight, and let me tell you that's way more enjoyable. No numbness, nerves have returned to normal. Couldn't have asked for a better outcome. There's a teen tiny indentation above my navel, something like that might bother someone who models or takes a lot of photos or vids, but I don't give a stuff. Good luck everyone on your journeys, the intent of documenting my experience was to help others make informed decisions. I hope it has done that. Much love x

What I wanted to say in the update below was, after years of looking in the mirror and finding fault in my body, I can now look and consider it perfect (for me). Not a single criticism against what it is now. It is probably the best outcome I could hope for. If something were to change physically, I would never go under the knife for cosmetic reasons again, but I am grateful the procedure gave me confidence I had never experienced before.

2 month post op - I am posting a photo update and a summary of what has happened since my review... At 6 weeks Cosmos did a follow up appointment where they took photos and removed the dissolvable stitch still clinging to my nipple (they only dissolve when wet so the outside knot survived). There is another follow up booked at 3 months which tbh I might cancel because it's a pain to get to and all they do is take photos. There might be a 6 month one anyway. As of today, looking at how much my body has changed, it feels like its been a lot longer than 2 months. The numbness is mostly gone except for a couple of palm sized patches on my flanks which are partially numb and still slightly tender to massage. It was my flank area immediately post op that had the most numbness, my stomach not so much. I'd say around the time I stopped the binder (6 weeks) was when the numbness reduced, but it was replaced with very strong skin sensitivity. It felt like I had very bad sunburn and bruising whenever the slightest amount of pressure was applied, even jeans were a bit rough. That's mostly gone away now, there are some patches that feel a bit weird when I apply pressure, and sometimes I get a sudden prickly heat feeling, but it is not painful or uncomfortable. I am also posting photos of the deepest scars, at the drains on my crotch, and the darkest one on my left hip. The hip incision was particularly painful while healing, not sure if it's dark because it was so exposed during healing, or because the surgeon made it larger to begin with. I have been using a silicone based scar balm since around 4 weeks post op when they were completely no scab. A bit pricey but we'll see what happens, supposed to give results in 3 months. You can kind of see some hyper pigmentation around my ribs on the side under my armpits. I dont remember scratching those parts all that much so they must be from the compression garments, which made hard red indentations in those areas. The hard lumps under my skin are gone. Wasn't paying attention to when they went away cos it got real tiring stressing about it. When I stopped massaging at 6 weeks it was like well, if the lumps stay sucks to be me. I don't wanna keep massaging and feel my lumps and stress... if they go away they go away I can't control it. It turned out all ok... I think the results speak for themselves. I couldn't have achieved this with diet and exercise (not with a full time job). My breast aren't large, they're not even medium, but the overall proportions are so much better. I like what I see in the mirror. Compared to not just my mental state when I looked in the mirror before (breasts small and deflated, soft stomach, spare tire) but also the length of time, the years, that I had that internal monologue... The surgery has been good value in terms of the 180 my brain did, I'll say that. Which is still different to would I do it again. I think I still have my doubts. Otherwise its given me a completely new confidence mentally and physically.
