Not the OP, but knowing someone who’s been through something similar I can answer a few of your questions. She had this surgery nearly two decades ago, so modern procedures may be completely different:
- Adipose tissue and skin from the belly was moved to the breast. The tissue was left completely intact, including nerves and blood vessels.
- A nipple was tattooed onto her skin, no tissue sculpting, etc.
- Since all the nerves and vascular system was intact, any sensation on her new ‘breast’ was still mapped to her belly.
- Her new breast was sculpted to be the same size and shape as the healthy one.
- Since her new breast was made with belly tissue, any weight gain/loss may be uneven compared to her other breast.

You are absolutely correct–while this will probably be buried among all the other replies, I want to share the video essay by overzealots that confronts the liberal media’s propaganda/disinformation campaign surrounding the Cuban revolution.
