Introduction
Breast augmentation with implants may leave scars around the breasts; however, breast augmentation using autologous fat transfer or hyaluronic acid injections may not result in scarring. Individuals with a scar-prone constitution may easily develop hypertrophic scars after surgery, making the scars more prominent and difficult to fade. It is recommended to follow the doctor's post-operative care instructions strictly and avoid strenuous activities and lifting heavy objects.
Generally, breast augmentation with implants may leave scars around the breast; however, breast augmentation using autologous fat transfer or hyaluronic acid injections may not leave noticeable scars. If necessary, it is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician.
For breast augmentation with implants, incisions are made in the armpit area, along the lower edge of the breast, or around the areola to insert the implants, which are then sutured closed, resulting in scars. The general reference price for implant insertion ranges from 12,000 to 200,000 yuan per session, with visible improvement typically seen within 15 to 40 days.
In autologous fat breast augmentation, fat particles are extracted using a liposuction needle and then injected into the subcutaneous tissue of the chest area, thus generally not leaving noticeable scars. However, small incision marks may remain at the fat extraction site, although these marks are usually very small and inconspicuous. The general reference price for autologous fat injection ranges from 5,000 to 20,000 yuan per session, with visible improvement typically seen within 7 to 15 days.
Hyaluronic acid breast augmentation usually involves a non-invasive injection method to inject hyaluronic acid into the chest area, thus generally not leaving scars. The general reference price for hyaluronic acid breast augmentation ranges from 3,000 to 30,000 yuan per session, with visible improvement typically seen within 7 to 15 days. After the injection, strenuous physical activity and pressure on the chest area should be avoided to prevent compromising the results.
Individuals with a scar-prone constitution may easily develop hypertrophic scars after surgery, making the scars more noticeable and difficult to fade. It is recommended to strictly follow the doctor's post-operative care instructions, avoiding strenuous exercise and lifting heavy objects to reduce irritation and friction to the chest area.
