Is autologous breast augmentation more prone to sagging than breast augmentation with implants?
Disease description:
I am 28 years old and not satisfied with my breasts. I am considering breast augmentation surgery to improve their appearance. When choosing a surgical method, I am undecided between autologous fat transfer breast augmentation and implant-based breast augmentation. I have heard that the fat used in autologous fat transfer may be absorbed by the body and could potentially lead to breast sagging—is this true?

Regarding the issue of breast sagging, in reality, both autologous breast augmentation and implant-based breast augmentation may potentially lead to breast sagging, but this mainly depends on individual skin elasticity, post-operative care, age, and other factors. Therefore, autologous breast augmentation does not necessarily cause sagging more easily than implant-based augmentation.
Whether choosing autologous or implant-based breast augmentation, it is important to select a reputable medical facility and an experienced, qualified physician to perform the procedure. If concerned about breast sagging, one can wear a supportive bra and avoid strenuous activities to reduce the risk of sagging.
