Wow, your breasts look amazing now @MissOrange ! If you don’t mind me asking, is it possible to gain weight on only the breasts when eating fatty foods? Because your waist still looks very slim :smile:

Hi @viamala, I only gained 2 lbs and yes it seems it all went to my boobs. I think because I do stairs, daily housework, walking exercise and have had 2 abdomen and thigh lipos in the past, that the choices for fat build up are the stretched breast skin with empty sockets ready for fat cells to fill and expand, upper arms (but maybe there is a max amount of fat build up there) and love handles (but again restricted as the skin is not stretched like the breasts have been). No brainer then that fat cells have expanded with ease in my empty breasts.

I have also been applying mustela breast firming serum daily and prayed to God for bigger boobs so covered all bases.

@MissOrange, don't you think the feeling may yet come back to your nipples though? And you are in the early stages of healing so things may shape up more to your liking yet regarding the nipple shape, etc. yet. Did you have en bloc removal? I applaud you if you did. I did not (that's why I could have removal under local I assume), and although the Dr. said I didn't need it as the capsule were very thin, I still wish I'd had it.
I think so many women come out looking amazing after implant removal but it doesn't always happen right away--they call it "fluffing" as the breast returns to a more normal shape I believe? I am one of those who would probably look better with some FT since removal. Maybe because I'm older and had them longer, I couldn't say. I'm glad that you don't need FT--you look wonderful and I am happy for you that you are on the other side! :flowers:

NO it doesn't. I know. If nerves are intact you would have feelings there now, sadly it won't come back!

@atomgrrl don't get fg and ulthera at the same time. You are right. The ulthera cancels the fat graft from the lower face. My mistake which set back my lower face a couple of fat grafts.

Thanks for the quick reply. This makes me sad. So many trips to SK to get everything done and now that I’ve read about shurink, I was very excited to tighten my lower face and neck but I also desperately want fat grafting.

Hi Miss Orange,

I have a question. Did u do a facelift? You dont have pending or skin excess sagging.
Love the contour of your face.
Please share your secret lol

Hi @Cleo7 , I want a lower smas facelift but keep getting refused by Dr Amir, mvp, and asps so I guess full face fg has helped add volume and lift the face but I can still pinch an inch of loose skin in my lower face. Sigh. I was offered threadlift by Bellavou clinic in Kent but I want a more permanent lift and my body tends to reject foreign materials. I tried ulthera at mvp which was good but I think it may have melted some of the fg in my lower face. The definitive lift is smas. If I could find someone who would agree to do it, I would book and pay asap. I know I have posterior zygoma reduction and smas Fl left to do on my ps shopping list but my OH says I will wreck my face if I do. Maybe I will have courage at age 60.

@SheOnlyLooks25 that is what I fear. The other lady who had a full lift on my op day had only one nipple numb but then sensation returned within 2 weeks. I am now pod 16. I am waiting until my 6 week follow up and praying to God for another miracle else it means the nunnery for me.

@atomgrrl depending on your age, you could try just full face fg x 2, or fg to upper and mid and ulthera to lower then do fillers after to lower, or try fg and smas FL. I notice my radiesss nasolabial dermal fillers absorb faster in the hot summer and last several months longer in the cold winters.

A friend told me I had to choose face over body, meaning make sure I weigh close to 100 lbs and forget having k pop matchstick thighs so that my face fg looks good vs do not drop below 98 lbs else my face looks gaunt and my body looks super. I worried that ulthera had melted my lower face fg but looking at my holiday photos from last week at 99.8 lbs, my lower face looks fine! I was 96.8 lbs when I got ulthera + face fg at mvp in Feb of last year. So maybe @atomgrrl it can be done together but you have to gain 3 lbs to help the lower face fg after ulthera.

I am learning hys selfie tips and used my collar to hide part of my face lol.

@catelet yes I had en bloc removal. I don't know when or if nipple sensation will return. I am sorry your surgeon did not do en bloc for peace of mind to ensure 0% risk. I heard FT costs $9k in the States and $10k if with en bloc removal with lift and FT.

@MissOrange lookin' good!!

Yes, I may or may not ever do any FT, we'll see, or alternatively, I might do a lift. I don't think most people need FT or a lift after implant removal, but I think in my case, it might be a good thing. All I had was a simple removal under local (egads I can't believe I had the courage to do that now haha but honestly it wasn't that bad and I drove myself home--no kidding) . I had saline, and they weren't old and weren't capsulized. Still, I wish he'd have removed the capsules, whether they were thin or not, but if I do have a lift in the future, I'll have the Dr. look into that for me.
Still, I am super happy I had them removed--I personally hate the feel of implants and couldn't stand the thought of having "replacements" into my old age! I do know many women are happy with theirs and may never have any issues. That's fine. But I don't advocate them, and I prefer the look of smaller breasts esp. on my frame anyhow. And then there's the health concerns of course.
Anyway, I am very happy for you @MissOrange!

@catelet I can't believe your surgeon removed your salines under local! That is way risky in case of bleeding or complications encountered. Wow and then you drove home! Thank goodness you are okay. Yes good idea to get capsules out at time of lift in future. I was like thinking to myself I needed implant exchange every 10 years meaning at 60 then 70 etc. Thank goodness I broke the cycle due to finally figuring out all silicone implants may be unsafe as they were poorly regulated even by the us fda. I saw a lady in her 70s in the US fb group getting explant even.

Yesterday was pod 16 and the skin pursing and wrinkles around my lifted nipples finally started to flatten and start to look normal. Sensation is still gone. Some ladies reported lost nipple sensation even with implant placement! They never highlight this enough. Apparently you cannot breastfeed if your nipples are numb post surgery.

I tried on bras again and I am more a 34c as my diet is back to normal. No more cake, doughnuts or ice cream as I try to go back to dairy free to lower my cholesterol.

@MissOrange I’ve been reading your posts about correcting the philtrum. I’m starting to see signs of aging (early 30’s) and I think my elongating philtrum and nasolabial folds are doing this so I’m planning to get fg and philtrum correcting. Do you still recommend MVP for this? What was your healing like for philtrum correction (was there bruising? Did you heal within a week?) and how far apart was your fg top up?

Thank you for your reply ~ Hopefully I can gain weight only on my breasts after my fat graft, because all the fat cells there will have moved to my face lol
May your breasts stay a DD cup forever :)

@MissOrange I understand your concerns for safety for local breast implant removal (I had them as well!), but actually it can be safe according to board-certified PS's especially if you have no complications to begin with as in my situation. I did my saline explant with an incision under the breast. It wasn't that difficult and didn't take long, and I felt no pain at all. My surgeon is/was a highly regarded, board certified PS in a very reputable hospital and two of his surgical nurses accompanied the procedure. My only regret is not having him remove my thin capsules--but he insisted there was no need. At any rate, here are some answers from PS's about this I copied from realself where someone asked about implant removal under local. There were many more answers, but these were the two on top and I didn't have time to look further but please, anyone considering this can look it up easily:

Breast Implants Removal Under Local Anesthesia - Is It Safe? Any Pain?
I was told by my surgeon that he could remove my silicone implants under straight local. Is this procedures safe, will there be any pain,Recovery, and how long is the procedure? I had silicone 450cc breast implants placed 10 days ago, against my wishes cause I wanted a B. I was a fuller C cup and wanted to reduce my size, but ended up to a DD (against my wishes). I'm a very active person and have hated them ever since.

Thank you for your question! Depending on your and your plastic surgeon's comfort level with surgical procedures via local anesthesia, it certainly is a safe procedure and can be done via local only or a little sedation. It is difficult to answer about the appearance of your breasts without a photo or examination. Removal of your implants alone will create a smaller breast with somewhat similarshape. Discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon and the possibility for a breast lift, either at the same time or at a later date, if deemed necessary. Many times drains are placed as well as compression garments used postoperatively. Cost varies among surgeons as well as geographic location. Best wishes! SHOW LESS

Thank you for your question. Removing an implant under straight local anesthesia can be done for the right patient. If you are very anxious by nature, then you may require some form of sedation (oral, IV or general). In addition, if there is any complicating factor (e.g. trauma or implant rupture), then I would recommend sedation as there may be something unexpected that is harder to deal with under straight local.
