What changes in breast size and volume!?

Bongbong Plastic Surgery

Breast autologous fat grafting is a procedure chosen by many people who want natural-looking volume. Because it enlarges the breasts using your own fat, it provides a safer and more natural feel than using artificial implants.

So, let’s look at how much size change is actually possible with breast autologous fat grafting.

Autologous fat grafting is a method in which fat is extracted from a specific area of the body and then grafted into the breasts. Usually, fat is suctioned from areas such as the thighs, abdomen, or sides of the waist, and then injected into the breasts to add volume.

Because your own fat is used in this process, there is less foreign-body sensation, and if the grafted fat takes well, it can maintain a natural volume. For this reason, many people prefer it because the changes in breast size and shape are natural.

How much the breasts can be enlarged through autologous fat grafting depends on the individual’s constitution and the fat survival rate. In general, it is said that a single grafting session can increase size by about one cup.

However, if too much fat is grafted at once, the survival rate may decrease, so multiple procedures may be needed for greater volume.

The key to breast autologous fat grafting is how well the grafted fat survives in the breasts. The survival rate is usually around 50~70%, so some of the transplanted fat may be absorbed by the body and disappear.

Considering this, about half to two-thirds of the initially grafted amount can be expected to survive. Therefore, it usually takes about three months after the procedure to confirm the stabilized breast size, and additional procedures may still be needed after that.

*Results may vary depending on the individual.

If you want a noticeably larger breast size, there may be limits with a single autologous fat grafting procedure. If you want an increase of more than one cup, it is recommended to undergo fat grafting at least 2 to 3 times rather than just once.

When fat is grafted over multiple sessions, the survival rate can improve further, and a fuller breast volume can be maintained more stably. When planning the procedure, it is important to discuss your body type and desired volume with the plastic surgery medical team and create a personalized plan.

After breast autologous fat grafting, care that can help the fat take is essential. For a certain period after the procedure, it is advisable to avoid smoking and to refrain from actions that put pressure on the breasts.

It is also important to create the optimal environment for fat survival by getting enough water and nutrients. If postoperative care is done well, you can maintain a natural and voluminous bust for a long time.
