Introduction
In general, liposuction breast augmentation usually refers to autologous fat breast augmentation, a cosmetic procedure that involves extracting fat from other areas of the body, processing it, and then injecting it into the breasts to increase breast volume. Since the patient's own fat tissue is used, there is no risk of rejection. This method offers advantages such as natural feel, realistic appearance, dual body contouring, high safety, minimal invasiveness, and long-term stability.
Generally, liposuction breast augmentation refers to autologous fat transfer for breast enhancement. This is a cosmetic procedure that involves extracting fat from other areas of the body, processing it, and then injecting it into the breasts to increase breast volume. The main advantage of this surgery is that it uses the patient's own fat tissue, eliminating the risk of rejection. It offers benefits such as natural feel, realistic appearance, dual body contouring, high safety, minimal invasiveness, and long-term stability. The reference cost is typically between 5,000 and 15,000 yuan per session. Results are usually visible within 1–3 months, although possible side effects such as infection or bleeding may occur. It is recommended to undergo the procedure at a reputable hospital under the guidance of a qualified physician. Detailed analysis is as follows:
1. Natural Feel and Realistic Appearance
Since the patient’s own fat tissue is used, the transplanted fat integrates well with the existing breast tissue, resulting in a softer and more natural texture. After fat transfer, the breast shape becomes fuller and more rounded, closely resembling natural breasts, making surgical signs difficult to detect.
2. Dual Body Contouring
This procedure not only enhances breast size but also removes excess fat from other body areas and transfers it to the chest, helping to slim and reshape those donor areas. Thus, it achieves simultaneous body sculpting and breast enhancement.
3. High Safety
As the fat is harvested from the patient’s own body, it avoids complications associated with artificial implants, such as infection, implant rupture, or leakage.
4. Minimal Trauma
Autologous fat transfer breast augmentation typically employs minimally invasive techniques, such as needle injection. Compared to traditional breast implant surgery, it causes less trauma. Minimally invasive procedures allow for faster recovery, with reduced postoperative pain and discomfort.
5. Long-Term Stability
Once the transplanted fat cells survive in the body, the results can be long-lasting, unlike implants that may require periodic replacement. The grafted fat cells behave like normal fat tissue and will change in volume with weight fluctuations, leading to more stable and natural-looking outcomes over time.
After autologous fat transfer breast augmentation, it is important to keep the surgical area clean and dry. Follow medical advice, use gentle cleansers to carefully wash the chest area, and avoid vigorous rubbing or pressure, which could lead to wound infection or compromise the survival of the transplanted fat cells.
