Introduction
Autologous fat breast augmentation may experience fat expansion during the later stages, although the specific outcome can vary from person to person. It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and perform the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician. Since fat cells have a certain survival rate, some of the injected fat may be absorbed by the body, leading to changes in breast shape. Therefore, a secondary fat injection procedure may sometimes be necessary to maintain the desired results.

Autologous fat breast augmentation involves extracting excess fat from the patient's own body, processing it specially, and then injecting it into the breasts to achieve a breast enhancement effect. The usual reference price ranges from 5,000 to 20,000 yuan per session, and visible improvement can generally be observed within 7-15 days. Following autologous fat breast augmentation, the fat may expand during the later stages, although this can vary from person to person. It is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician. Detailed explanation is as follows:

Within the first month after autologous fat breast augmentation surgery, the transplanted fat will be rapidly absorbed. Generally, after two to three months, a stable condition will be established. At this point, most of the fat cells have survived and are growing steadily, while a smaller portion that fails to survive will be absorbed by the body. Five to six months after the surgery, the fat may experience slight expansion, further enhancing the results. Once the autologous fat breast augmentation is successful, the effects can be long-lasting.

Since fat cells have a certain survival rate, some of the fat may be absorbed, leading to changes in breast shape. Therefore, in some cases, a second injection procedure may be required to maintain the desired outcome.
