Autologous fat injection for breast augmentation does not trigger rejection reactions and causes no harm to the body, achieving dual benefits of body contouring and breast enhancement. This technique represents one of the most widely applied and effective uses of fat transfer. Since the material originates from the patient's own fat tissue, it is also termed "green breast augmentation."
Post-operative care for autologous fat transfer breast augmentation primarily involves the following considerations:
1. Prior to suture removal, patients should prioritize rest. While returning to work is permissible immediately after surgery with minimal discomfort, several days of additional rest are recommended.
2. Two weeks post-surgery, patients may attend social events like dances. Avoid prolonged arm elevation and chest impacts. Gradually resume physical activity with exercises like calisthenics or swimming.
3. To prevent discomfort from breast jostling, wearing a sports bra is recommended during physical activities one month post-surgery. Gentle lifting exercises benefit shoulder muscle development and provide mild breast massage. Patients may also follow doctor-guided exercise plans.
