Will breast implants feel as natural as real breasts?
Generally, in the case of breast augmentation using implants, the feel of the breasts may differ slightly from natural breasts. However, if breast augmentation is performed using autologous fat transfer, the feel may be closer to that of natural breasts. If needed, it is recommended to seek assistance from qualified and accredited hospitals. Detailed explanations are as follows:
Breast augmentation with implants involves placing implant materials, such as silicone, into the chest to achieve a breast enhancement effect. In most cases, the feel of the augmented breasts is similar to natural breasts, although slight differences may exist. Although implant materials have a certain degree of softness and elasticity, their texture and touch may differ somewhat from natural breast tissue. The general reference price for breast augmentation with implants ranges from 12,000 to 200,000 yuan per procedure, and noticeable improvement is usually observed within 15 to 40 days.
Autologous fat comes from the patient's own body and, once injected into the breast tissue, can better integrate with surrounding tissues, thereby simulating a more natural and realistic feel. In addition, autologous fat transfer breast augmentation offers advantages such as no incisions, no foreign body sensation, and no risk of rejection, making the postoperative results appear more natural and long-lasting. The general reference price for autologous fat transfer breast augmentation ranges from 5,000 to 20,000 yuan per procedure, and noticeable improvement is typically observed within 7 to 15 days.
However, breast augmentation procedures generally carry certain risks, such as unnatural or artificial breast appearance and possible postoperative complications including capsular contracture and infection. It is recommended that patients avoid strenuous physical activity or heavy labor during the recovery period and for some time after surgery to prevent any adverse impact on the surgical outcome and tactile sensation.
