Breast implant surgery vs. breast fat grafting,

Which choice is right for me?🧡

The breasts are an important factor in determining a beautiful body line.

So if you feel that your clothes do not fit quite right or your overall silhouette lacks balance,

you may naturally consider breast implant surgery or breast fat grafting.

What you must remember here is

that these two procedures are not simply ways to “make the breasts bigger,”

but surgeries that also require consideration of the overall harmony and balance of the body line.

In particular, at Thank You, we go one step further than conventional breast fat grafting

by performing stem cell breast fat grafting,

and we strive to provide our clients with even more natural-looking volume.

So today, for those who are concerned about the shape or size of their breasts,

we will look at the two procedures people often consider as improvement options:

breast implant surgery and stem cell breast fat grafting,

and also take a detailed look at which cases are suitable for each procedure.

First, breast implant surgery is a procedure that increases breast volume or corrects asymmetry

by inserting implants of various types and sizes,

taking into account your body type and skin condition.

Meanwhile, stem cell breast fat grafting is a procedure that creates natural volume

by transplanting pure fat together with stem cells.

In the case of breast implant surgery,

not only can the procedure be performed to match the desired size or shape,

but mild sagging, such as grade 1 ptosis where the nipple descends to within 1 cm below the inframammary fold,

can also be improved while increasing volume,

so body contour refinement can be expected as well.

It also has the advantage of making the surgical outcome relatively easy to predict.

On the other hand, breast fat grafting uses fat from your own body,

so it has the advantages of causing less foreign-body sensation and feeling more natural.

In addition, body contour improvement may also appear in the area where the fat was harvested.

However, with conventional breast fat grafting, some of the fat may be absorbed after surgery,

making the outcome difficult to predict,

and you may not achieve the size increase you wanted.

Therefore, at Thank You Plastic Surgery, we perform stem cell breast fat grafting

in order to compensate for these shortcomings while preserving the advantages of the existing method.

Stem cell breast fat grafting is a method in which the harvested pure fat

is mixed with stem cells and then delicately transplanted.

When breast fat grafting is performed after mixing stem cells with the fat,

the survival rate increases,

which helps prevent the transplanted fat from being absorbed later.

As a result, the effect can last longer than with conventional fat grafting.

Unlike conventional fat grafting, stem cell breast fat grafting has a lower chance of fat being absorbed,

so it can be performed with a relatively small amount,

and it also has higher elasticity and regenerative ability.

In addition, it is good to know that the risk of side effects such as cysts and calcification is reduced as well.

Because of the features above, breast implant surgery is generally recommended when:

  • you want a clear size increase
  • you do not have enough fat to transplant due to a slim body type
  • breast volume has decreased significantly due to childbirth, aging, etc.
  • you want semi-permanent breast volume
  • sagging needs improvement
  • you want a clear change in one procedure

On the other hand, stem cell breast fat grafting is mainly performed when:

  • you want a more natural volume enhancement
  • there is enough fat to transplant from the abdomen, thighs, etc.
  • you are uncomfortable with incision scars around the breasts
  • you are reluctant to have implants inserted
  • you want both improved breast volume and a slimmer-looking body line

In short, if you want a more natural shape

and a moderate increase in size,

stem cell breast fat grafting may be suitable.

If you want definite volume and a predictable outcome from just one surgery,

we recommend breast implant surgery.

We recommend choosing the option that is right for you by considering multiple factors,

such as how much time you have for recovery after surgery

and whether your daily life requires frequent upper-body strength.

For both breast implant surgery and stem cell breast fat grafting,

the most important thing is to first perform a systematic analysis

and establish a plan that is appropriate for you.

At Thank You, we consider not only the individual characteristics of each breast,

such as breast size, shape, distance between the nipples, and degree of asymmetry,

but also height, body type, and overall proportions

to provide a 1:1 customized surgical plan and careful design.

In addition, to deliver even more satisfying results for our clients,

Thank You also offers a 3D size simulation experience when performing implant surgery.

Through this, you can check the actual size, shape, texture, and weight of the implant before surgery,

allowing you to predict the results more closely.

Postoperative care is also provided under a systematic system

and tailored to each patient’s situation.

After surgery, the attending doctor periodically checks the progress,

and personalized aftercare is provided through services such as Capsulitis management,

which helps prevent capsular contracture, and Smart LUX,

which helps with swelling management and recovery.

As mentioned earlier, Thank You performs stem cell breast fat grafting,

which can improve fat survival rates, reduce side effects,

and help create breasts that last longer.

At Thank You Plastic Surgery, when performing stem cell breast fat grafting,

we use micro cannulas instead of regular needles.

Micro cannulas allow fine and even injection between fat layers,

which helps create denser, fuller volume effects

and can help reduce damage to fat cells.

In addition, Thank You is an institution designated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare as an advanced regenerative medicine implementation institution,

so please keep in mind that we have the capability to reliably perform high-quality stem cell-based regenerative medicine.
