Using one's own excess fat for breast augmentation is currently a highly popular method. It is reliable, quick, and easy, earning widespread acclaim—this is what is commonly referred to as autologous fat transfer breast augmentation.So, does this method typically yield lasting results?
Plastic surgeons note that autologous fat transfer is considered an ideal breast augmentation technique because the material comes from the patient's own body. This ensures high compatibility, natural-looking results, and a soft, natural feel. By precisely layering and transplanting active fat cells and autologous factors into the breast tissue, it achieves natural-looking augmentation with minimal fat transfer.
The procedure involves meticulously selecting and scientifically harvesting high-quality fat from areas like the waist, abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. Using an autologous fat cell separation device, the fat particles are refined, activated, and purified. They are then implanted into the breasts using a multi-layered, three-dimensional injection technique, ensuring each autologous cell fully integrates with the corresponding breast tissue.
The injected, optimized autologous fat cells, combined with the body's abundant active peptide factors, continuously secrete numerous factors that promote the survival and growth of fat tissue. This stimulates the regrowth of the injected fat cells, resulting in a more natural breast shape.Using the body's own tissue as filler throughout the process makes this method more ecological, healthier, and safer than traditional breast augmentation. Post-surgery, the breasts appear as if they have undergone a second natural growth phase, achieving a full, plump, and elastic shape with a realistic feel. This allows for both body contouring and breast augmentation to be accomplished in one step.
Traditional autologous fat transfer procedures often require two sessions, with rare cases needing three. This is because transplanted fat may undergo absorption in the target area. Advanced surgical techniques enhance fat cell survival rates, and appropriately increasing the total fat volume can achieve success in a single session. However, excessive single-session injection may cause hardening. Generally, 2-3 sessions are ideal for optimal results.
