FAQ:
1. Who is suitable for autologous fat breast augmentation?
Almost all women are suitable, as long as the weight is greater than 43 kilograms or the BMI is greater than 19, there is enough fat in the thighs to be extracted for breast augmentation; it is suitable for all age groups, including young women who want to increase their breasts, postpartum women with breast atrophy, and women with traditional breast augmentation resulting in capsule formation leading to hardening and deformation of the breasts, or congenital breast asymmetry.
2. Will the injected fat calcify?
Any breast surgery may cause minor calcifications, including mastectomy, breast reconstruction, traditional breast augmentation, etc. These minor calcifications are invisible to the naked eye and even cannot be felt. They do not pose a health hazard to the body.
3. Can these minor calcifications cause lesions or symptoms?
No, these few minor calcifications will not cause lesions. They are benign calcification points and will not grow or cause pain and other symptoms.
4. Will these minor calcifications interfere with or delay breast cancer screening and diagnosis?
No, with current radiological diagnostic techniques and equipment, mammography and magnetic resonance imaging can easily distinguish between benign and malignant calcifications. In recent years, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons has tracked 283 cases of patients who underwent autologous fat transfer breast augmentation for 10 years and found no interference with breast cancer diagnosis. In 2009, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons also revised its previous view on autologous fat breast enlargement, considering it a safe procedure.
5. How to improve the survival rate of autologous fat transplantation?
In addition to having good liposuction skills, fat purification/separation and proficient fat injection techniques are also key factors. In short, you need to find an experienced plastic surgeon. On the other hand, there is now a technique called autologous fat stem cell transplantation. With the help of stem cells, the survival rate of transplanted fat has improved significantly.
6. How to extract autologous fat stem cells?
The extraction of autologous fat requires strict sterile operation and laboratory-certified instruments. It is by no means true that beauty clinics claim to have purchased expensive equipment or imported instruments from South Korea, which would automatically produce stem cells. In fact, these beauty clinics are also victims. Although they spent money on the machines hyped up by manufacturers, the truth is that, from an experimental and research perspective, these so-called stem cell extraction devices are essentially nothing more than Korean-made centrifuges and stirring shakers. Scientifically trained lab personnel know that the most critical factor in extracting fat stem cells is still human expertise. Dr. Lin, with an experimental background, uses European and American experimental-grade instruments.
7. What is the survival rate of traditional vs. stem cell-assisted autologous fat transfer breast augmentation?
Survival rate of traditional autologous fat transfer breast augmentation: nearly 50%; approximately increases 1-1.2 cup sizes.
Survival rate of stem cell-assisted autologous fat transfer breast augmentation: 75-90%; increases 1.5-2 cup sizes.

8. Does the surgery require general anesthesia?
Due to the large amount of fat being extracted and injected at once, it is recommended that the surgery be performed under general anesthesia.
9. Will the chest hurt after surgery? How long will the swelling last?
There will be absolutely no pain after surgery, and the swelling will subside in about 1-2 weeks.
10. Will there be any incisions after autologous fat breast augmentation surgery?
Only needle holes for fat extraction and injection; almost no incisions.
11. Where on the body will the fat be extracted from?
The thighs usually have the most fat available for extraction; fat from the abdomen or waist can also be used.
12. Do I need to massage my chest after the surgery?
Contrary to traditional breast augmentation surgery, massage should be avoided after autologous fat transfer breast augmentation to ensure a higher fat survival rate.
13. Will the breasts look natural after autologous fat transfer breast augmentation? Will there be capsules?
The breasts after autologous fat transfer breast augmentation look very natural and bouncy, just like the real thing. Since it's made from your own tissue, of course there won't be any foreign-body reaction-induced capsules.
14. How long will it take for the fat to stabilize after autologous fat transfer? Will the fat completely disappear eventually?
Autologous fat transfer will reduce swelling in 2-3 weeks, and the fat will stabilize 3 months after the surgery. The fat that survives after 3 months can survive permanently (traditional autologous fat transfer approx. 50%; stem cell-assisted autologous fat transfer approx. 75-90% permanent survival).
15. Will breastfeeding functions be affected if I have children in the future?
Breastfeeding functions will not be affected because the injection sites avoid the mammary glands.
