Where Is the Best Place for Breast Fat Grafting in Apgujeong?
Breast Fat Grafting Review
How to Create a Firm Breast Line Without Implants
Hello.
This is Globi Plastic Surgery Clinic.
When many people come in for a consultation,
this is the question they ask most often.
“Without implants, can breast fat grafting surgery alone
improve sagging breasts and firmness?”
Breast sagging is not simply a matter of the breasts
appearing to droop downward,
It is a complex issue connected to multiple factors,
such as the breast’s tissue structure, degree of elasticity,
distribution of glandular tissue and fat, asymmetry, and the thoracic structure.
So, to give you an accurate answer,
I’ll first explain why breast sagging occurs
and how it is classified.

✔ What does it mean
when the breasts sag?
Medically, breast sagging is called ptosis.
Simply put,
it means the nipples have moved lower than their original position.
Breast sagging is usually classified by these criteria:
** 1. Mild (early) breast sagging **
The nipples are slightly above, or at about the same level as,
the inframammary fold.
Visually, the breasts may look a little drooped,
but it is not severe.
** 2. Moderate breast sagging **
The nipples have dropped below the inframammary fold.
** 3. Severe breast sagging **
The nipples are far below the inframammary fold,
and in severe cases, close to the lowest point under the breast.
Even when wearing clothes, the sagging is not hidden,
and the upper breast appears completely deflated.

✔ Why do breasts sag?
Breasts can sag for various reasons, but
because the breast is made up of fat, glandular tissue,
skin, and Cooper’s ligaments,
if even one of these loses elasticity,
breast sagging can occur.
In particular, the following are often cited as the most common causes of breast sagging.
📌 After breastfeeding
The glandular tissue shrinks, reducing breast volume.
The skin remains stretched, so elasticity decreases.
→ Sagging can occur easily
📌 Rapid weight loss after dieting
As breast fat decreases, the volume disappears,
but the skin remains the same.
→ Sagging
📌 Decreased skin elasticity (aging)
The skin can no longer return to its original position and droops downward.

✔ Can breast sagging be improved
with breast fat grafting alone?
To answer the question of whether breast sagging can be improved
with breast fat grafting alone, without implants,
an accurate evaluation by a specialist with extensive experience in breast fat grafting surgery is essential!
However, in general, if the breast sagging is mild (early),
it can be improved with breast fat grafting alone!
In cases of mild breast sagging,
if the overall breast shape is properly assessed and fat is placed in the right areas,
breast fat grafting alone can be enough to produce noticeable improvement.

✔ When is breast sagging
hard to improve with breast fat grafting alone?
From moderate breast sagging onward,
it becomes difficult to expect meaningful improvement
with breast fat grafting surgery alone.
Many people may think, “If I add a lot of fat,
won’t the breasts lift?”
but that is not the case!
Because fat is for ‘filling in,’
not for ‘lifting up.’
In severe breast sagging,
the skin and ligaments have already stretched significantly,
so even if breast fat grafting is performed,
the position will not move upward.
In such cases, a lifting incision procedure,
such as a breast lift, is absolutely necessary.

✔ How effective is breast fat grafting
in practice?
📌 What can be expected from breast fat grafting
-
Improved overall breast volume
-
Improved upper breast volume
-
Correction of breast asymmetry
-
Correction of cleavage
-
Correction of lower breast volume
-
Correction of outer breast volume

Conclusion!
✔ Mild breast ptosis
→ Can be sufficiently improved with autologous fat grafting alone!
→ If the design is done well, a visual lifting effect can also be expected
✔ Severe breast ptosis
→ Lifting cannot be achieved with fat grafting alone
→ A combination of lifting + breast fat grafting is the most ideal
→ It is also possible to choose breast fat grafting alone
simply for volume enhancement
Breast sagging is not simply a matter of ‘drooping’
but is caused by complex tissue changes,
so an accurate diagnosis of the condition is more important than anything else.
