BREASTLIFT SCAR / plastic surgery update 1.3years post op

Overview

• Creator is 1 year and 3 months post-op from a breast lift. She also had a fat transfer that largely didn’t “stick.”
• She had previously lost 20–30 lb before surgery.
• The video includes emotional recovery moments (crying on the operating-table bed, surgeon offering support) and shows her breast-lift scars. Scars remain visible and may take years to fade; she plans future updates.
• Overall she’s happy with the lift (enjoys not wearing a bra and can exercise comfortably) but disappointed that the fat grafting didn’t maintain upper-breast volume.

Key points, tips and takeaways

Fat transfer is unpredictable

• Fat graft survival varies by person and can be influenced by factors that may be genetic.
• It adds cost and there is no guaranteed retention percentage.
• If you want smaller breasts or a higher lift, consider asking the surgeon to remove more tissue/skin instead of relying on fat transfer.

Choosing a surgeon

• Pick a surgeon who specializes in the specific procedure you want, rather than a generalist who does many different operations.
• Read multiple reviews and meet several surgeons to find someone you “vibe” with.
• Emotional support matters — choose a surgeon who makes you comfortable and can reassure you if you’re anxious.

Pre- and post-op expectations

• Significant weight loss before surgery (she lost 20–30 lb) can factor into planning and outcomes.
• Expect visible scars for at least a couple of years; commit to long-term follow-up and updates.
• Recovery can be emotional — line up support from your surgeon, friends, or family.

Personal decisions she’d make differently

• She would not repeat the fat transfer. Instead she would ask for a smaller cup size and more skin removal to achieve a higher lift.

Lifestyle notes

• She breastfed three children, which contributed to breast changes.
• She is active and works out (example: hip thrusts) and now feels comfortable exercising without a bra after the lift.
• She also had a tummy tuck and plans to update about that scar at the 1.5-year mark.

Actionable checklist (if considering similar surgery)

1. Research and shortlist surgeons who specialize in the exact procedure you want.
2. Read multiple reviews and schedule consultations to assess both skill and rapport.
3. Ask about typical fat graft retention ranges, but understand results are individual and not guaranteed.
4. Plan emotional and logistical support for surgery and recovery (someone to comfort and help you).
5. If scarring or long-term volume is a priority, discuss alternatives (more skin removal, different sizing, or implants) before committing to fat transfer.
