Implants somehow feel uncomfortable.

The idea of putting a foreign substance into my body

still feels a bit concerning.

Among those who come in for breast surgery consultations,

many people bring up this feeling first.

This is a completely natural concern.

Sometimes, that caution

can even lead to better results.

So in this article, instead of implants,

we’ll honestly explain how using your own body fat is different,

and why results can differ even with the same fat grafting procedure,

as well as the 기준 for who this method is suitable for and who it is not.

Please give me just 3 minutes.

Breast fat grafting: Why results differ even with the same amount

Breast fat grafting

I heard that fat grafting is absorbed anyway

and that the survival rate is low, so does it even work?

This is something we hear quite often in consultations.

To be honest,

there is a reason this question comes up.

There are definitely people who return for another consultation

because they did not feel the effect.

However, such results are often due not to the limitations of the method itself,

but to the way it was performed.

Implants are inserted in a fixed size and shape,

but with fat grafting, the result changes completely depending on

how the harvested cells are injected.

That is why the grafting method is especially important.

The key lies in “distributed grafting.”

After being grafted, fat cells must receive oxygen and nutrients

from the surrounding blood vessels in order to survive.

If too much is placed in one area, the inner cells that cannot

receive blood supply begin to die first,

and in the end, that area may become hard

or leave an uneven volume behind.

That is why it is necessary to fill the entire breast evenly

with very thin layers, almost like layering multiple coats.

The core is a three-dimensional design

that varies the depth and direction even with each injection.

Even if the process is demanding and time-consuming,

this is why we insist on doing it this way.

Then what about recovery, given how precise it is?

Usually, after about 2 to 3 days,

you can return to light office work,

but depending on your body type,

there may be differences in the duration of pain, bruising, and swelling.

To be honest,

there are also people for whom fat grafting is not suitable

Breast fat grafting

I don’t have much body fat. Is it possible for me too?

Whenever I get this question, I speak carefully

and tell it as it is.

Breast fat grafting

For those who want natural volume without implants,

or for those whose goal is to refine the breast shape,

it can be a good option.

However, for people with low body fat,

there are clearly cases where it is difficult to recommend.

The reason is simple.

If there simply isn’t enough fat to harvest,

it becomes difficult to create the desired volume in the first place.

By harvesting unwanted fat from the thighs or abdomen

and using it to fill the breasts,

you can also achieve a body-contouring effect at the same time.

In other words, it is a process of balancing your body’s harmony.

But if forced, the areas where fat is removed,

such as the abdomen or thighs, may become irregular

or appear indented.

In trying to fill the breasts,

you may end up losing balance in other areas.

One more honest point:

for those expecting a large size increase,

this method may also have limitations.

It is a method that is strong in creating natural volume

and refining shape,

but it is not primarily intended to greatly increase size.

If you come in already knowing this,

it can help reduce disappointment later

between expectations and results.

Rather than proceeding just because it is possible,

I think it is better to be honest with those for whom it is not suitable.

That is the principle we try to uphold in consultation.

Breast fat grafting uses your own body,

so its strength lies in its natural-looking results.

However, results can vary depending on body type and purpose,

and you should decide with advance knowledge that side effects such as asymmetry

due to differences in graft survival, or fat clumping (calcification),

may occur.

Not only saying the good things,

that is the principle upheld by Globi Plastic Surgery Clinic.
