Autologous fat breast augmentation is a plastic surgery procedure that involves transplanting fat from other areas of the patient's own body to the chest in order to achieve breast enlargement and shaping. Autologous fat breast augmentation is considered a relatively safe cosmetic procedure, as it uses the patient's own fat tissue, significantly reducing the possibility of serious complications caused by immune rejection.
However, like any surgical procedure, it carries certain risks and potential complications. The main risks associated with autologous fat breast augmentation include issues with fat survival rates, fat liquefaction, infection, hematoma, and possible vascular embolism. Therefore, it is recommended that women choose reputable medical institutions and fully understand the risks and potential side effects of the surgery.
