Injecting hyaluronic acid for breast augmentation typically maintains its effect for 1-2 years, as the body gradually absorbs the hyaluronic acid.
Breast augmentation through injection is a nonsurgical method that primarily achieves breast enlargement and shaping by injecting fillers into the breasts. Commonly used fillers include hyaluronic acid, autologous fat, and certain permanent filler materials. Among these, breast augmentation with hyaluronic acid injections usually maintains its effect for approximately 6 months to 1 year, as the body can absorb hyaluronic acid; autologous fat transfer for breast augmentation offers relatively longer-lasting results, although these may vary depending on individual differences and lifestyle habits, generally lasting for several years or even longer; permanent filler materials such as poly-L-lactic acid offer long-term effects in theory, but complications such as displacement and nodules may occur.
Following postoperative care instructions provided by the physician, avoiding strenuous exercise, maintaining a balanced diet, and avoiding excessive weight loss can help prolong the effects. When undergoing injectable breast augmentation, it is important to choose a reputable hospital and qualified physician to ensure safety and satisfactory outcomes. After injection breast augmentation, regular breast examinations should be conducted to detect and address any potential issues promptly.
