People who search for breast fat transfer

commonly have one main expectation.

They want breasts that do not look noticeable like implants

and feel natural to the touch.

This expectation is completely understandable.

The greatest feature of breast fat transfer is

that it uses your own tissue, so there is no concern about a foreign object,

and the feel is very natural.

In particular, the way the breasts naturally spread out when lying down

is difficult to reproduce with implants at present.

It is a distinctive feature that is possible only with your own fat.

However, there are also realistic limitations

and points that must be considered.

글로비성형외과 will honestly share

both aspects with you.

The Genuine Strengths of Breast Fat Transfer

Features of Breast Fat Transfer

I heard that fat transfer is

much more natural than implants—is that really true?

This is a question we often receive in the consultation room.

Behind that expectation are feelings of excitement,

along with a little doubt.

We understand that it may sound like an advertising phrase.

Nevertheless, when it comes to feel and natural appearance,

we can say that this procedure has clear advantages

over implants.

This natural appearance is not limited simply to

how the breasts feel when touched by hand.

The way the breasts spread to the sides when lying down,

the way their silhouette changes along with body movement—

these aspects show a clear difference from implants.

At our clinic, quite a few people visit us after implant surgery

because they are concerned that “the shape looks strange when I lie down.”

Due to the structural characteristics of implants,

this can be difficult to resolve completely.

Using your own tissue can reproduce this movement naturally.

Another point that should not be overlooked

is that you can also achieve a body-contouring effect.

Because fat is harvested from the thighs or abdomen,

the breasts become fuller

while the donor areas become slimmer at the same time.

Because of this synergy, it is also a procedure often chosen by people

who want body contouring and are also interested in breast enhancement.

To be honest about one point,

the amount of enlargement that can generally be expected from one procedure

is approximately half to one cup size.

When we directly assess skin thickness and the condition of the mammary tissue

during consultation, people with excessively little fat

or an unfavorable environment for fat retention

may have difficulty achieving the results they want.

Rather than recommending surgery regardless,

글로비's approach is to explain this honestly and find a more suitable option together.

Side Effects and Precautions You Must Know

Features of Breast Fat Transfer

I heard that fat transfer has many side effects.

Is it really that frightening?

Whenever we receive this question,

we usually explain it this way.

In many cases, people are applying information about facial fat transfer

directly to breast fat transfer.

The nature and level of risk of complications

are considerably different between the two procedures.

The three main complications that may occur with breast fat transfer are

inflammation, calcification, and cysts.

Inflammation is prevented by taking antibiotics before and after surgery.

If the breasts suddenly become enlarged, red, or hot,

you should visit the clinic immediately.

When detected early, it can usually be treated with medication.

Calcification and cysts may occur when some of the transplanted cells

are not absorbed.

In the breasts, removal is not necessarily required;

it depends on their location and size.

The important point is that these changes

are unrelated to cancer.

However, during a breast ultrasound examination,

they may resemble breast cancer in appearance.

It is therefore advisable to inform the examining physician

in advance that you have undergone the procedure.

The greatest concern in clinical practice is that the fat-retention rate

can vary greatly depending on individual constitution and lifestyle.

Nicotine constricts peripheral blood vessels

for more than 30 minutes each time a cigarette is smoked.

If blood flow is repeatedly interrupted while the cells are waiting

to establish new blood vessels, even cells that could have survived

may not be able to endure it.

Secondhand smoke is no exception,

and smoking should be completely avoided for at least one month before and after surgery.

Excessive pressure or sudden dieting

can also interfere with fat retention.

Daily care during the 2–3 months it takes for the cells

to settle into their new location determines the final result.

Breast fat transfer is clearly advantageous for people

who want a natural feel,

but it is not the right choice for everyone.

It is 글로비's principle to transparently explain

both the possible complications and the limitations based on individual circumstances.

First checking whether fat transfer is suitable for your body type,

or whether another approach would be more realistic,

is the fastest way to achieve satisfactory results without unnecessary trial and error.

Please feel free to contact us for a consultation at any time.

※ The fat-retention rate and results of breast fat transfer may vary depending on an individual's constitution, amount of fat, lifestyle, and surgical method. Side effects such as inflammation, calcification, and cysts may occur.
