Ladies,

How long does a fat graft last? I had one done a few years back, and I am wondering ...

I had fat graft done on my face and it didn’t last. I think some bodies retain fat better than others. I’m very slender as well.

Yes, I do respect your opinion and your choice. Removing the implant and getting your original breasts reshaped with your own fat (fat grafting) is also a good idea if you really do not want to risk anything in the future. Dr.Koo is a doctor at DA Plastic Surgery Clinic . Also he will recommend you to check your breasts done by ultra sound first to ensure if you will be good to have any type of breasts surgery. The ultra sound check up and stuff is all within the clinic which is so convenient. If you do need to me to ask my friend about the whole procedure I would be happy to help !

Yes I’d be so grateful if you asked your friend. My concern is that due to explanting, the sagging will make it difficult to fill with fat grafting. Also, did they get both procedures done at once?

Like I've mentioned before 2 of my friends got their breasts done at DA. One friend of mine got implant replacement from polytech to motiva and fat graft for her cleaverage to look more natural. I did take care of her when we was at the clinic, she was wearing the supporting bra for like weeks and she was also doing fine soon.

Was it painful? - She said it wasnt, she just felt the discomfort for few weeks.
Did the skin sag tremendously? - No
Did you have to heal before doing fat graft procedure? - Replacement does not need separate healing time
If so, how long did you have to heal? - She received ultra light treatment for aftercare and some patch treatment stuff for her blood circulation after the surgery for like 4 times in total
Is fat grafting sustainable or did you have to do it several times? - During the consultation we did see before and after pictures of JUST FAT GRAFT breasts and Implants, breasts with just full fat graft did change in shape and size (decrease) as time passed by where as implants stayed permanent. Also from my opinion, if you are already paying good amount of money for the surgery I would expect from kind of satisfying result that stays permanent through out.
Please recommend a good clinic for this. - Try DA and Dr.Koo

Thank you for your response!
The vain side of me, of course, wants to replace the implants because results are obviously better.
My pragmatic side is thinking as I get older I want to limit health risks as much as possible and replacing them every several years doesn’t sound appealing to me.
What is DA and which clinic is Dr Koo from?

Hi all. I have had breast implants since 2012 from Seoul Korea. The result was great and overall a good experience. However, I started noticing ripplings about a month ago. I am now contemplating on whether I should replace the implants and with what kind OR remove the implants and do fat grafting instead. Some of the horror stories of breast implants illness are scaring me so I am leaning towards fat grafting. I hope someone will be able to help me decide! Here are my Qs:

What was your experience like after removing implants?
Was it painful?
Did the skin sag tremendously?
Did you have to heal before doing fat graft procedure?
If so, how long did you have to heal?
Is fat grafting sustainable or did you have to do it several times?
Please recommend a good clinic for this.

Thank you in advance!

I had both done. I would say the fat graft is better because it feels more natural. I hated my implants. For me it was like having two tennis balls under my skin. I removed them two years after I got them.

How long have you had fat grafting done and is it holding up well over the years?

Hi everyone, I would like to post about my experience with 2 jaw surgery and v-line. Initially I was not planning to b/c I'm lazy... But I felt it was my duty to report back b/c I feel like there was a lack of ppl who posted about their successful surgery on this forum. Hopefully, this post will be helpful to someone out there. I will not respond to private msgs (I dont have enough posts to respond anyways) or answers any questions after this but I will make this post detailed!

I know a lot of ppl go to Korea for surgery but when I did my research, the vibe I was getting was that it’s like a factory there. No personal services, doctors are too busy and patients are rushed. I don't know if this is true b/c I’ve never been there personally but it scared the **** out of me. So after LOTS of research, I went to Taiwan to do my surgery with Dr. Hsieh of charm cosmetic.

Procedures:
1. - 2 jaw
2. - V-line

Results:
1. - Surgery was a success (I’m SUPER happy)
2. - I look amazing and I can’t stop staring at the mirror b/c I keep looking better every day as the swollen resides!
3. - The only thing I would complain about is my nose. With any 2 jaw surgery, if your upper jaw is pushed forward, your nose will change; usually the nose gets wider. I was aware of this prior to surgery as I’ve done extensive research. The doctor said he would use “Nasal alar cinch suture” to prevent it from changing but I did find my nose did still get wider. I noticed my nose also projects further away from my face and tilts slightly up which I like!

Skill Level: 1. - Dr. Hseish is crazy (in a good way). I saw a lot of post-surgery pics online and boy they all looked bad. Long and behold, I had absolutely NO bruises on my face after surgery… that’s how good he is.
2. - During my consultation, I was amused to see how excited he was to do this surgery. You know a doctor is good when there is lots of passion involved.

Mannerism of the clinic: 1. - The ladies at the clinics don’t speak much English except for the dentist assistant and Dr. Hsieh assistant. These 2 lovely ladies were absolutely sweet to me! I was all alone when I did this surgery but they cared for me like I was a friend and it was so touching as none of my family could be with me. I didn’t have a cell phone so they even offered to let me bring the clinic’s ipad back to my hotel with me so I could communicate with them via email after my surgery.
2. - I had to wait maybe 30 mins to an hour to see Dr. Hsieh for our initial consultation. I think it’s b/c he takes time with each patient. He spent a lot of time with me as well.
3. - I had to take my blood prior to the surgery. I got a little scared when the nurse took my blood. When she pulled the needle out of my arm, she didn’t put a bandage on top right away so blood leaked on the table.. I’m terrified of blood but it wasn’t like she was my surgeon so I didn’t worry too much about it.

Post surgery experience
1. - Surgery was a breeze, but post surgery was hard. Maybe b/c I was by myself in a hotel? I dunno, but it was not easy.
2. - It was one of the toughest 5 days of my life. It was hard to take liquids in. It was hard to breath. I had a lot of discomforts with eating so I simply didn’t eat. It hurt to pee b/c they use an urine catheter during surgery. SIGH* it was tough. But after the first week, it was easy J
3. - By 1.5 weeks, I could eat soft solids. By 2 weeks, I could eat bananas. By 3 weeks I was eating again. By 4 weeks, I was eating everything.

Surgery Complications:
1. - My right side healed faster than my left, which made me look like my face and lips was crooked. I was extremely worried but 2 months later and it has returned 90% back to normal and it will probably recover fully since I am still swollen on the left side.
2. - My lips were huge after surgery but that’s not what worried me. What worried me was after 1 week they began to shrink! I’m talking smaller than they were before. This made NO sense to me but I never addressed it to my surgeon. I thought, maybe it was just me. So I flew back home 3 weeks after my surgery and my parents and bf thought the same thing.. My lips were tiny! I have no explanation for this being 2 months post-surgery, they have returned to their normal size.. BIG phew*
3. - I really love my smile but after the surgery my smile changed to this ugly joker smile. I was patient though as I know the swollenness in the face alters the smile. 1 month post op, my smile was not back and I was really depressed thinking it was permanently stuck like this. 2 months post op, my smile is back to normal!
4. - I had a sharp pain in my left ear after surgery every time I drank cold water or orange juice (probably a nerve issue). The nurses and doctor told me it would go away and it did eventually.
5. - I had many more worries while I was healing but all of these problems were temporary so if you’re planning to get 2 jaw, please be patient and try not to worry as much as me.

Good luck to all the gals getting jaw surgery + vline. It’s not as scary as everyone makes it. It was the best decision of my life and I would do it again a million times.
