Patient Reviews

"Fat Transfer to Breasts over Existing Implants - I wanted to fill in around my breast implants to give a more natural and soft look. I have wide hips and a narrow waist so I knew more volume would look good with my figure. Dr. Bansal is extremely skilled at fat removal and placement to the breasts. Fat was taken from my arms and the outer thighs. I purposefully gained weight prior to surgery to provide better fat deposits. My arms look great and I have no negative outcomes there. I chose arms because Dr. Bansal explained that the quality of fat was typically high there for retention. I don't store a lot of body fat in my arms so as I get leaner, the muscles become quite pronounced now. I'm not sure if it will look strange at a low body fat percentage. I store a lot of fat in my outer thighs, so taking fat from this area has added a nice shape to my figure. I am prone to cellulite and I have notice a bit of increased cellulite. However, I was warned of this possibility. My breasts have increased about a cup size. They are softer and fuller, but the shape has improved quite a bit. There is a more natural slope and the breasts meet closer in the middle now. The worst side effect that I have gotten are collections of fluid filled cysts. From my research, this happens when breast are dense and there is some excess fluid buildup. They are in the same spot on both breasts which indicates to me that it is pressure related. They are quite uncomfortable but there are treatment options like aspiration. I also got one sebaceous cysts which is from infection under the skin and burst. This has left a red mark and bump that I dislike seeing. In terms of infection, I did find it strange that Dr. Bansal conducted this surgery in the office (not a hospital). This makes the price better, but I did worry a little about infection. I had no necrotic fat tissue which is a relief. I'm unsure if the sebaceous cysts was caused by this. I think it is important to note that I may be genetically prone to cysts. Several of the spots where fat was taken still have some scaring. I am hoping that they will fade. Overall, I am happy with my experience at Elite MD. The staff are very kind, Dr. Bansal went above and beyond in explaining the procedure, and he spent hours with us in post-op and follow-ups in the months following."
