People who search for autologous fat breast augmentation

have a question in common.

I do not want implants,

but can’t I enlarge my breasts using just my own fat?

We fully understand the feelings behind this question.

Because autologous fat breast augmentation uses your own tissue,

there is no concern about a foreign material, and the texture feels natural.

However, it is not a procedure that is suitable for every case.

Depending on your body type and desired results,

there are cases where it is appropriate, while in other cases,

we may honestly need to recommend a different approach.

At Globie, we will transparently explain the conditions

under which this procedure is actually well suited,

as well as the situations in which we need to give you an honest assessment.

Conditions That Make Autologous Fat Breast Augmentation a Good Fit

Autologous Fat Breast Augmentation

I want to enlarge my breasts with fat grafting,

but is it possible for my body type?

This is one of the questions we hear most often in the consultation room.

This question contains anxiety as much as expectation.

There is a sense of uncertainty about whether I meet the requirements

and what the results might be like.

To give you the conclusion first, this procedure

can provide a high level of satisfaction when the conditions are right,

but when they are not, the results may fall short of expectations.

There are two most important conditions.

The first is the available space for the graft.

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

during a consultation, it becomes relatively clear

whether the environment is sufficient for the cells to settle.

When the skin is reasonably thick and there is a certain amount of mammary tissue,

it is more favorable for the transplanted cells to receive a blood supply

in their new location.

In contrast, if the skin is excessively thin and there is almost no breast tissue,

it becomes difficult for the cells to survive.

In such cases, we honestly explain that a different surgical approach

rather than autologous fat may be the wiser choice.

The second is the amount that can be harvested.

A sufficient amount must be obtained from the thighs or abdomen,

but this itself can be difficult for people with an extremely slim body type.

After the harvested fat goes through a purification process,

only about half of the harvested amount remains as the actual pure graft volume.

For this reason, the range of enlargement that can generally be expected

from a single surgery is about half a cup to one cup.

If you want more dramatic enlargement than this,

implants may be a more realistic alternative.

If you also want to improve your body shape,

the advantages of this procedure become greater.

You can experience the synergy of body contouring,

achieving both a slimmer harvest area and fuller breasts.

Autologous Fat Breast Augmentation,

Things We Need to Explain Honestly

Autologous Fat Breast Augmentation

I heard that fat grafting is unconditionally better than implants.

Is that true?

Whenever we receive this question in the consultation room,

we first ask:

How much would you like to enlarge them?

Autologous fat breast augmentation offers advantages

that implants cannot match in terms of natural texture and movement.

In particular, the way the breasts naturally spread to the sides when lying down

is a distinctive characteristic that is difficult to reproduce with implants.

However, implants have greater strengths

when it comes to precisely designing and reliably achieving

the desired shape and size.

This is why Globie offers an environment where both methods are available.

Clinics that perform only one of these procedures have a structural limitation:

they may have no choice but to guide patients toward it

even when it is not the right answer for their case.

You should receive a consultation at a clinic where both options are available

so that you can hear which approach is genuinely right for you.

At Globie, we establish a foundation for improving graft survival

through a three-layer grafting method that finely distributes injections

across various layers, including beneath the muscle, beneath the mammary tissue,

and beneath the skin, together with SVF (stem cells).

However, the patient’s postoperative care affects the results

by more than half, just as much as the surgeon’s skill does.

Smoking constricts peripheral blood vessels and interferes

with the transplanted cells receiving nutrients.

For at least one month before and after surgery,

you must completely abstain from alcohol and smoking,

including exposure to secondhand smoke.

Underwear with underwires or firm pads can compress the grafted area

and interfere with blood flow, so the standard is to wear a soft bra

or seamless bra for at least one month.

Rapid dieting can also be a cause of reduced graft survival.

Your daily routine during the two to three months

when the cells settle into their new location determines the final volume.

Autologous fat breast augmentation can be a highly satisfying option

when the conditions are right,

but it is not the right procedure for every case.

It is Globie’s principle to transparently explain

both possible complications and the limitations based on each individual’s conditions.

Accurately checking first whether autologous fat is the right choice for your body type,

or whether implants are more realistic,

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

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

※ The graft survival rate and results of autologous fat breast augmentation

may vary depending on an individual’s constitution, amount of fat,

lifestyle, and surgical method, and complications such as inflammation,

calcification, and cysts may occur.
