A Realistic Story You Must Know Before Surgery

As more people consider breast augmentation and want natural-looking results, many are choosing fat grafting.

Because it uses your own fat without implants,

it feels less intimidating,

and people expect the results to look more natural.

But for those who are actually preparing for surgery,

a question comes up most often.

I heard fat grafting is a good option,

but are there really no side effects?

To give the conclusion first,

there is no surgery that has absolutely no side effects.

However, if you know in advance what side effects may occur,

and when and why they happen,

unnecessary worry can be greatly reduced.

Please take just 3 minutes.

Fat Grafting Breast Augmentation,

The Survival Rate Determines the Result

Side Effects of Fat Grafting Breast Augmentation

Fat grafting has variables that are completely different from implants.

That is the 'survival rate.'

The survival rate refers to the percentage of transplanted fat cells that survive in their new location while receiving blood supply.

If this rate is low, some of the transplanted fat is absorbed by the body,

which can reduce volume,

or, in severe cases, lead to fat cells clumping together and hardening,

resulting in 'fat necrosis.'

So if you had high expectations for the surgery result,

it is only natural to feel disappointed or confused.

Then what determines the survival rate?

There are two major factors.

The first is the injection amount and distribution method.

For transplanted fat to survive,

it must receive oxygen and nutrients through blood vessels.

But if too much fat is injected into one area,

the inner cells may not receive enough nourishment,

which increases the risk of necrosis.

That is why the triple-layer survival method, which distributes small amounts evenly across multiple layers, can greatly affect the actual result.

The second is thorough cell preservation during the harvesting stage.

No matter how well the injection is done,

if the cells were already damaged during harvesting,

you cannot expect good survival.

For this reason,

how precisely the entire fat processing procedure is handled

becomes a very important variable in the actual outcome.

To be honest,

for patients who do not have enough harvestable fat in their body,

rather than forcing the procedure,

we also consider other options together and look for the optimal solution that suits your body type.

That is because, to secure a certain level of survival rate,

the amount of fat available for grafting itself must be sufficient.

This may be disappointing for those who were hoping for the procedure,

but we believe honest guidance is better than proceeding with a surgery whose results are uncertain.

To Those Who Said They Were More Afraid Because They Didn't Know If This Was Normal After Surgery

Side Effects of Fat Grafting Breast Augmentation

My breasts felt hard as a rock after surgery, and there was a large bruise on the thigh where the fat was taken from...

Could something have gone wrong?

We receive many inquiries from people worried about this.

To give the conclusion first,

in most cases, these are reactions that can occur sufficiently during the recovery process.

From immediately after surgery to day 3,

the pressure from the compression bandage causes the most discomfort and stiffness.

Feeling tightness in the chest when taking a deep breath is also a typical reaction during this period.

After you visit the clinic on the third day after surgery and remove the bandages,

you will feel much more comfortable,

but during this period,

sleeping with a pillow behind your back to keep your upper body slightly elevated

can be very helpful in reducing swelling.

Bruising and pain also occur at the area where the fat was harvested,

such as the abdomen or thighs, and this is also a natural reaction.

Symptoms such as temporary redness or a change in color of the skin at the harvest site may vary from person to person,

but in many cases, they gradually return to their original tone over 3 to 6 months.

There is one part that is easy to overlook during recovery.

Even if the visible swelling goes down,

it does not mean the inside of the grafted area has fully stabilized.

Sleeping on your side or lying face down can alter the position or shape of the transplanted fat,

so you need to be especially careful.

Alcohol and smoking directly interfere with blood circulation and can also affect the survival rate,

so you must avoid them for at least one month.

One more thing:

ingredients such as aspirin, vitamin E, and omega-3 can increase the risk of bleeding,

so you should stop taking them for at least one week before and after surgery.

Even supplements you normally take should be shared with the medical staff in advance before and after surgery for safety.

Fat grafting breast augmentation leads to good results when well-planned surgery and proper recovery care are carried out together.

Our principle is to provide transparent guidance not only about the benefits of surgery but also about the possibility of side effects and the recovery process.

If you would like to check carefully whether fat grafting is suitable for your case,

and review realistic survival rates and a recovery plan,

please feel free to leave an inquiry for a consultation.

※ Please note that common postoperative side effects such as bleeding, infection, and inflammation may occur,

and may vary depending on the individual.
