- Organize for a person to take you to the clinic and drive you back home
What kind of results can I expect?
Following surgery, the breasts will appear initially fuller. Patients can experience a 1-2 cup size increase from the procedure, followed by a decrease in size due to fat loss. It is typical for 1/3 of the transferred fat to be lost after a month or two after the breast augmentation surgery. After that, you can expect to see the final size and look of your new figure.
The procedure is designed to subtly improve the shape, contour, and fullness to your upper chest. If those are your goals, then this will be an ideal procedure for you
What is the downtime for the procedure?
The usual downtime for this procedure is 2-3 days. Most patients state that the procedure’s liposuction portion is associated with more discomfort than the actual breast transfer procedure. The majority of patients are back to work in 3 days. Mild to moderate exercise is encouraged after the first few weeks, but it must be low impact.
We advise patients to avoid any rigorous jumping or running for two months after the procedure.
Can I wear my regular bra after the surgery?
The doctor will suggest a special bra after the surgery. After a week, you will be able to wear a regular bra.
What is the cost of the procedure?
If you come in for a liposuction procedure, you can add the added Fat transfer Breast Augmentation for $5,000. If you are focused on the surgery, it starts at $10,000, depending on each patient’s different surgical requirements.
