I had them done and they are really nothing at all, a little propofol to put you out, suck out some fat from around your navel, pop it into your breast, and voila! Minimal soreness and only around the donor sites. Problem with fat injections, the fat can be absorbed and thus the filler is short lived. I have noticed my wrinkles in certain positions have increased in the 2 years since the injections, but since I really do not care it does not trouble me. I had nips done, too. Now I need to have them tattooed, but it seems I'll never get around to that. Guess I am satisfied?
