Who is suitable for breast augmentation with autologous fat transplantation? A prominent chest is an important part of a woman's curvaceous beauty. What kind of breasts can be enlarged and lifted using the method of autologous fat transplantation for breast augmentation? Some women, due to underdevelopment, post-lactation atrophy, or tumor surgery, which cause breast shrinkage and atrophy, as well as those who have a strong desire to increase their breast size, can all enlarge their breasts with their own fat. Or, if the breasts are not too small but there is a desire for them to be more lifted and fuller, the effect of autologous fat transplantation for breast augmentation will be better. The method of extracting fat for injection into the breasts differs from general liposuction, requiring stricter sterility and ensuring the integrity of fat cells as much as possible. To reduce absorption, the fat used for breast augmentation should ideally undergo careful medical biological processing to enhance the survival ability of the fat. The absorption rate after autologous fat injection is directly related to how well the fat is processed. In the best case, the survival rate can reach over 80%.

In recent years, with the development of plastic surgery technology, Huamei Plastic Surgery and Beauty Hospital in Quanzhou has carried out autologous granular fat transplantation breast augmentation surgery using one's own fat as filler. This involves aspirating excess subcutaneous fat from areas such as the abdomen, buttocks, or thighs, processing it, and then injecting it into the smaller breasts. However, due to the limited capacity of the tissue behind the breasts, too much fat cannot be injected at once. Each side of the breast can receive 150-200 milliliters of fat. Additionally, the aspirated fat contains broken fat that will gradually be absorbed by the body, with an absorption rate of about 20%-30%. Therefore, autologous granular fat injection transfer breast augmentation surgery generally requires two to three sessions to have noticeable effects, with each session spaced one to two months apart. At this point, both breasts can fully meet the requirements of being prominent, upright, and aesthetically pleasing.
Most people who have excess subcutaneous fat accumulation can undergo this surgery. The surgery is performed under strict sterile conditions. Without incisions, only using a syringe is necessary. As long as the indications are properly understood and the technical operations are proficient, the surgery is safe. It can be performed under local anesthesia in formal medical aesthetic institutions without hospitalization. After resting for one to two days, work is generally not affected. For decades, hundreds of thousands of cases of this surgery have been performed worldwide, with good results.
Breast augmentation with autologous fat transplantation achieves both slimming and breast enhancement, accomplishing two goals at once. Post-surgical care for breast augmentation with autologous fat transplantation is much simpler than with implant augmentation for beautification seekers. For the recipients, the damage is very minimal. There is no need for incisions, basically no sutures required, and normal sensations return quickly with little pain. This method is especially suitable for women who want surgical breast augmentation but fear the knife. For doctors, mainly preventing infection and ensuring the survival of fat cells is crucial. This is also a way to use "waste" fat that would otherwise be discarded to achieve breast augmentation, achieving two goals at once, making it the most cost-effective option for beautification seekers. This surgery is particularly suitable for Eastern women, as they tend to seek more practical breast sizes compared to the exaggerated preferences of Westerners.
Various treatments aimed at increasing breast size are quite popular around the world. Methods using drugs or devices are ineffective and can easily produce side effects. Only autologous fat transplantation breast augmentation, which increases breast content to enlarge the breasts, has been proven to be another truly effective method besides implant augmentation. The greatest advantage of this method is that the injected fat is one's own, so there is no risk of rejection, no adverse side effects or sequelae, and the effect is lifelong and natural, truly one's own breast, eliminating any worries for users. However, there must be excess fat in other parts of the body available for use. The surgery acquires fat particles through liposuction, which are then washed, filtered, and injected into the tissue behind the breasts, achieving healthy breast enlargement while also slimming down, accomplishing two goals at once.
Dr. Jia Hongren, the president of Quanzhou Huamei Plastic Surgery and Beauty Hospital, introduced that breast augmentation with autologous fat transplantation is usually referred to as green breast augmentation, with its material sourced from autologous fat. Generally, materials are taken from the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks, where fat cells are abundant. After being transferred to the chest, these cells grow into fat cells, increasing the volume of the chest. Achieving breast augmentation while losing weight makes curves more perfect, accomplishing two goals at once. This method makes the chest fuller and more natural, curves softer and more graceful, delicate and charming, and is a safe, natural, and body-characteristic-conforming new method of breast augmentation. There is no psychological burden or body rejection reaction after surgery, making it most suitable for beautiful ladies who want breast augmentation but have concerns.
Indications for breast augmentation with autologous fat transplantation:
1. Primary breast developmental malformation.
2. Spontaneous breast atrophy after pregnancy.
3. Breast developmental malformation after breast tissue lesions or trauma.
4. Breast asymmetry on both sides or mild ptosis.
Factors related to the survival rate of breast augmentation with autologous fat transplantation:
1. Selection of donor area
Research has found that the activity of lipoprotein lipase (Lipoprotion Lipase LPL) in fat tissue varies in different parts of the human body. It was found that the activity of lipoprotein lipase in thigh fat tissue is higher than in other areas. High LPL activity is beneficial for the regeneration and survival of transplanted fat cells. The LPL activity in the thighs and buttocks is the highest, followed by the lower abdomen and upper abdomen. Based on this research and the distribution of deep fat in these areas, the lower half of the trunk is preferred as the donor area for fat transplantation.
2. Suction method
The method of suctioning fat tissue during surgery directly affects the result of the surgery. Inevitably, some cells are damaged and destroyed during surgery. The greater the degree of injury, the fewer living cells there are, and the lower the survival rate. Most scholars advocate using hollow needles for liposuction, with negative pressure not exceeding 0.05MPa, which can reduce cell damage. If other non-invasive techniques are used to suck fat, the cannula should preferably be less than 4mm fine tube.
3. Purification treatment of fat particles
Collected fat particles should be washed and filtered with 4-degree physiological saline, washing away already damaged fat cells, lipid droplets, and blood. The purification process should pay special attention to aseptic operation; the storage time of fat particles outside the body should be minimized as much as possible to improve the survival rate of fat cells.
4. Injection method
Its principle is to evenly distribute in the recipient area tissue, multiple points dispersed injection, the injection layer should be subcutaneous and mammary posterior space. The amount injected per point should not exceed 1ml, avoiding concentrating large amounts of fat in one area, massaging and smoothing after injection. This method, due to small fat volume, scattered location, easy establishment of blood supply for the implant, is beneficial for the survival of fat particles.
