When looking into breast fat grafting,

many people run into this concern.

Doesn’t fat grafting eventually get absorbed?

That is true. Some of the transplanted fat

being absorbed by the body is a natural physiological process.

But even if 100 is injected in the same way, why does one person have 70 left,

while another has less than 30 left?

There is definitely a reason.

If you understand that reason, the results can also change.

In this post,

we will first look at what causes the engraftment rate to drop,

and then explain how stem cell breast fat grafting

addresses that concern.

There are reasons why the engraftment rate drops

Breast fat grafting engraftment rate

During consultations, we often hear this.

I had fat grafting done somewhere else,

and more of it was absorbed than I expected.

Why did that happen?

To be honest, it is not easy to answer this briefly.

The engraftment rate does not drop for just one reason.

Cells may be damaged during the harvesting process,

or dead cells may be transplanted together

because the purification was not done properly,

or too much fat may be concentrated in one area,

causing the cells in the inner layer to necrose.

Of course, it is important to reduce these variables one by one,

but even if that process is carried out very carefully,

there is one barrier that is not easy to overcome.

There is a "golden time for engraftment" during which the transplanted fat must survive

by absorbing oxygen and nutrients on its own.

During this time, the cells must maintain their vitality

using only the help of the surrounding tissue,

and cells that cannot endure this are eventually absorbed.

Even for people whose fat was harvested cleanly

and transplanted with precision,

there is a fairly high chance that disappointing results

were actually determined during this gap period.

At this point, we always think the same thing.

If a slightly more refined approach had been added,

the level of satisfaction with the result may have been different.

It is not simply a matter of the surgeon’s skill;

the difference in what system is used for the surgery

determines the outcome.

That is why we see filling this survival gap

as the key to improving the engraftment rate.

This is when stem cells

are needed

SVF contains a large amount of signaling substances

that promote angiogenesis.

These components encourage blood vessels to extend more quickly

around the transplanted fat,

playing a role in dramatically shortening the gap

during which the cells must survive on their own.

As a result, the number of cells that survive

may increase.

Globi Plastic Surgery Clinic

is officially designated as a medical institution authorized to perform advanced regenerative medicine.

Therefore, it is a medical institution that can independently perform

all stem cell-related procedures.

However, there is one point I would like to emphasize here.

This surgery is not a solution for everyone.

For people who do not have enough fat available for grafting,

or those who are in a period of significant weight fluctuation,

we recommend adjusting the timing or first considering another method

rather than proceeding without caution.

If the procedure is performed when there is insufficient fat,

it is difficult to achieve the desired volume,

and it can also affect the engraftment rate.

I will also explain what to expect after surgery in advance.

Swelling and bruising are usually at their worst on days 2 to 3 after surgery,

and they gradually subside over 1 to 2 weeks.

For complete engraftment,

it is realistic to expect 2 to 3 months.

During that period,

we strongly recommend avoiding dieting.

If your weight drops rapidly, the transplanted fat may also be lost,

which can affect engraftment.

Please also avoid lying face down for 6 months.

If the transplanted fat is pressed,

the shape may become distorted.

Please remember that how you spend time after surgery is also part of the outcome.

If you came to this post because you are worried about the engraftment rate,

you are already halfway there.

Rather than vaguely thinking, "I should get it done,"

the wise first step is to understand why it gets absorbed.

It is Globi’s principle to openly disclose the precautions and possible side effects

that patients must know.

We recommend first receiving an accurate diagnosis

on whether this surgery is suitable for your case,

or whether another method is a better fit.

Without trial and error caused by incorrect information,

checking the plan that suits you should come first.

※ Depending on the individual, side effects such as inflammation, bleeding,

fat necrosis, or calcification may occur after surgery,

so sufficient consultation with a specialist is necessary.
