Postoperative care can also be considered an extension of the surgery. We provide customized care programs to help our patients recover quickly.

One of the scenes we encounter most often in the consultation room is

patients first searching for prices online

and then looking surprised after hearing the actual estimate.

You may have wondered why,

after searching for the same keyword, “breast fat grafting,”

there can be differences of several million won

between clinics,

but this is not unusual.

That is because the cost structure itself can vary completely

depending on which elements are included in the surgery and to what extent.

Therefore, in this article, we will go through

the specific criteria that create these differences, one by one.

Breast Fat Grafting Costs

Must Be Viewed by Category

Breast Fat Grafting Price Information

Honestly, the price differences are so large

that I do not know what to believe.

We meet people who say this

very often during consultations.

That concern is understandable.

Even when the same procedure name is used,

the items included can vary considerably.

Therefore, before comparing prices,

understanding the cost structure should come first.

Breast fat grafting costs are broadly divided into three categories.

① Liposuction costs for harvesting fat,

② Fat purification and breast injection costs,

③ Costs for options that improve fat retention, such as SVF (stem cells).

Many people compare only the grafting cost,

but the harvesting cost itself

varies depending on the area from which the fat is taken.

You need to check all three categories together

to make an accurate comparison.

The front and back of the thighs are the standard harvesting areas,

but adding the abdomen or flanks

increases the cost accordingly.

There is one point you should be sure to understand here.

Not all of the harvested fat

can be used for grafting.

Even when approximately 1,000 cc is harvested from the thigh,

the amount of pure fat that can actually be grafted

often decreases to around 500 cc

after purification by centrifugation.

Therefore, rather than simply asking how much will be injected,

you should check both the amount harvested

and the amount available for grafting after purification.

This allows for a much more honest comparison.

The reason we explain this process transparently during consultations

is not simply to provide information about the cost.

Patients need to properly understand the surgical process

so they can make a choice they will not regret later.

The Real Reason for Cost Differences:

Techniques That Improve Fat Retention

Breast Fat Grafting Price Information

Some procedures said to improve fat retention

are included in the cost.

Do they really lead to differences in the results?

Yes.

This is not merely a matter of optional services;

it is also a technical difference

that directly affects the surgical outcome.

The most important concept in fat grafting is “fat retention.”

It refers to the proportion of transplanted fat cells

that survive in their new location

by receiving nutrients from blood vessels.

According to research, there are many variables,

with individual differences ranging from 15% to 75%.

Just as seeds need to be planted where they can receive sufficient water and sunlight

in order to sprout,

grafted fat must also be placed in an environment

close to blood vessels

in order to establish itself.

Conversely, if too much fat is concentrated in one area at once,

the outer cells may survive,

but the inner cells may not receive enough oxygen or nutrients,

which can lead to necrosis.

The fact that a larger graft volume does not necessarily

lead to better results

is one of the first principles we explain in practice.

To address this, Globie Plastic Surgery Clinic

uses a three-layer fat retention technique.

Fat is injected in small amounts through a fine needle,

distributed across three different layers:

beneath the muscle, above the muscle, and in the subcutaneous fat layer.

This is why we do not shorten or omit this process,

even though it takes longer than simply filling the area.

When SVF (stem cells) is applied together,

it may help support the formation of new blood vessels

and promote the process by which fat cells adapt to their new environment,

so it may be expected to help improve fat retention.

However, concurrent SVF (stem cell) treatment

is not necessary for everyone.

If a person has little body fat and therefore has

an insufficient amount of fat available for harvesting,

has internal adhesions due to a previous history of fat grafting,

or is currently smoking or undergoing rapid weight loss,

multiple conditions unfavorable to fat retention may overlap.

For such patients, we may suggest adjusting the timing of surgery

or taking a different approach.

Thinking about a “safe result” first

rather than simply focusing on the desired result

is the standard Globie Plastic Surgery Clinic follows during consultations.

Postoperative care is also directly connected to fat retention.

Underwear with underwires or firm padding

may press on the grafted area and interfere with blood flow,

so it should be avoided for at least four weeks after surgery.

Smoking constricts peripheral blood vessels through nicotine

and can interfere with fat retention,

so avoiding smoking for at least one month,

including exposure to secondhand smoke, is recommended.

With breast fat grafting, rather than simply looking for the clinic with the lowest price,

it is much more important to first determine

which graft volume and technique are appropriate for your condition.

It is the principle of Globie Plastic Surgery Clinic

to share potential side effects and the limitations of surgery honestly.

We look forward to consultations with those who want to confirm

an accurate plan suited to their condition,

without trial and error caused by incorrect information.

※ Depending on the individual, breast fat grafting may cause side effects after surgery,

including infection, bleeding, pain, asymmetry,

and fat necrosis (cysts and calcification).

Therefore, you should make a careful decision

after having a sufficient consultation with a specialist.
