Autologous fat breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that achieves breast enhancement by transplanting fat from other areas of the patient's own body to the chest. As a surgical procedure, it inevitably carries certain complications and risks, including the following main risks:
1. Infection: Infections that may occur during or after the surgery.
2. Bleeding and bruising may occur early after surgery, and in severe cases, these complications can even pose life-threatening risks.
3. Hematoma: Bleeding within the surgical area that leads to hematoma formation.
4. Uneven fat injection or excessive injection may result in breast nodules, hard lumps, or cysts, which can affect breast texture and increase the risk of infection and other complications.
Therefore, it is recommended that patients choose experienced plastic surgeons. A comprehensive physical examination should be conducted before surgery to ensure that the patient's general health condition is suitable for the procedure.
