Already passed the 3 months mark after my surgery
I do not feel any lumps in my breast, and no inflammation etc either. They gradually become soft and just like the real one. My boobs are never those jiggly soft type, they always on the squishy elastic side. I think my breast feel the same after the recovery.
on the fat cell survival rate. Originally I thought I can beat the 50-60% rule. But after the second months, it starts to absorb quickly. (Maybe I don’t eat enough). I think the survival rate is around 60%. A lot of injection on my upper breast has been absorbed. But I am grateful they get absorbed rather than calcified.
For my belly recovery, they are fully recovered. My tummy is soft as before. During the recovery it is a bit hard. However, I still feel itchy on my love handles sometimes. Maybe the skin is still recovering. But it is not bothering me.
On the scarring, the scar of the liposuction is a 1cm incision.it is quite prominent, the hyperpigmentation does not seem to fade. I’m not super bothered , but I’m trying to put vic c everyday hopefully to fade it a bit. For the scar under my boobs, they are 0.5cm only and the scar is more pinkish like a bug bite. They are not noticeable at all and I’m not bothered.
my right boob is still 0.5-1 cup smaller than the right side. But I’m still grateful for the result. It still bother me a bit to see they are unequal. But I have no urgent plan to do another fat grafting.
overall I think the surgery is still a big success. I feel “one less problem” after my surgery. I no longer complain about my belly. I used to worry about it every another day, and rant to my bf a lot. Also, I no longer need to spare my time to pump my breast secretly. Not trying to advocate surgery, but it really taking away the issues that bother me on a daily basis, and I feel like I can focus on my own life now
