Apgujeong Breast Fat Grafting: The Reason We Perform Only 2 Cases a Day

Apgujeong breast fat grafting,

The reason we perform only 2 cases a day

Hello,

This is Glovi Plastic Surgery Clinic.

Apgujeong breast fat grafting

A clinic that follows the principles of plastic surgery, Glovi Plastic Surgery Clinic
Plastic surgery is most important when it follows the basics. Plastic surgery must be designed with a person’s entire life in mind. Both the process and the results of plastic surgery must be safe. Glovi always puts the patient first.
Consultation is an important step that leads to surgery. To help ensure that you are satisfied with your surgical results, we promise customized consultations with medical staff who have extensive clinical experience.
Aftercare can also be considered an extension of surgery. To help patients recover quickly, we provide customized care programs.

People who come in for consultations often say this.

Doctor, why is it so hard to get an appointment?

It is because we limit breast fat grafting cases to 2 per day.

Breast fat grafting takes at least 2 to 3 hours per case, from extraction to purification and injection.

It is not simply that there is not enough time, so we only do 2 cases.

There is a more important reason behind it.

This procedure requires delicate judgment at every moment.

From designing the contours of the donor site

to multi-layer injection into the breast tissue,

it is a process that demands a high level of concentration.

The choice to protect that concentration to the very end is 2 cases a day, and that is also a principle that can be upheld as a board-certified plastic surgeon.

In this post, I will honestly explain the reason, and how a specialist performing the procedure actually makes a difference, so please spare 3 minutes to read it.

If your concentration slips, it can affect the results

Doctor, to be honest, does a longer surgery time change the results?

It can.

And this is not a matter of feeling, but of the structure of the procedure.

Breast fat grafting is a process in which judgment must continue without interruption throughout the entire procedure.

During extraction, the amount must be adjusted in real time while looking at the balance of the abdomen or thighs, and during injection, the fat must be precisely dispersed in small amounts into layers rich in blood vessels.

Throughout all of these steps, judgment must never stop for even a moment.

The longer the procedure goes on, the more physical fatigue sets in, and when fatigue increases, the precision of those decisions may decrease.

Medical staff are people too, so physical limits definitely exist.

You can feel that the sensitivity at the fingertips is different when performing surgery in the morning versus when energy has been depleted.

That is why we focus especially on the injection stage and manage concentration carefully.

This is because the delicacy required to distribute fat in small amounts and evenly across a consistent layer can only come from the highest level of concentration.

Keeping it to 2 cases a day is, in the end, a choice made to provide the patient in the last case with the same level of concentration as the first.

It is disappointing that we cannot accept more patients, but we do not intend to change this principle.

That is because we believe it is the path to delivering better results for patients.

What actually changes when a board-certified plastic surgeon performs the procedure

If it is breast fat grafting, isn’t it enough to get it done at a place that is good at liposuction?

That is not entirely wrong.

However, this question is missing one important premise.

Breast fat grafting involves two actions within a single flow: extracting fat tissue and injecting it.

You need both the eye that designs the contours of the donor site and the eye that judges the layers within the breast tissue.

Suction technique alone cannot fully guarantee the latter.

On the other hand, in the training of a board-certified plastic surgeon, the layered structure of breast tissue, vascular distribution, and nerve pathways are covered systematically.

Where this is actually used in surgery is in making judgments that reduce the possibility of nerve damage during injection and evenly placing grafted fat in layers rich in blood vessels.

This background knowledge can help reduce the possibility of side effects such as changes in sensation or asymmetry.

However, this kind of planning does not apply equally to everyone.

If there is not enough tissue available for harvesting, if skin elasticity has significantly decreased, or if a rapid change in body weight is expected after surgery, it may be difficult to achieve the desired result with fat grafting alone.

In such cases, we believe it is right to first guide you toward another method.

Our principle is to tell you what you need to hear first, rather than what we want to say.

The principle of performing only 2 cases a day is not just stubbornness.

It is a choice made to provide judgment that does not waver throughout the procedure, and we believe that this choice can lead to results.

Providing transparent guidance about the information patients absolutely need to know and the possibility of side effects, that is the principle Glovi pursues.

We will honestly determine whether this is truly the surgery you need, or whether another alternative is more appropriate.
