Basics of Fat Breast Augmentation
In fat augmentation, your own fat is suctioned and transferred to the breast.
The transplanted fat will biodeposit when it receives oxygen and nutrients. Under hypoxic conditions, it cannot be viable. Failure of implantation is called fat necrosis. Lumps and infections may occur as a result of fat necrosis.
To prevent fat necrosis from occurring, the amount of fat injected must be adjusted so that it is not too much. Fat cannot be grafted if there is not enough space to graft the fat in the first place. If too much fat is injected into a small space, the fat will quickly fill up and compress the surrounding blood vessels that carry nutrients, reducing blood flow to the fat, resulting in a lack of oxygen and consequently a lower rate of fat engraftment.
It is easier to understand if you imagine a crowded train. If there are too many passengers, they are likely to be pushed onto the platform.
In other words, there is a limit to the amount of fat that can be injected at one time.
Because liposuction for breast augmentation requires a large amount of fat, liposuction is often performed from the abdomen and thighs. The suctioned fat is injected mainly under the breast skin and pectoralis major muscle. It is usually not injected within the mammary glands.
Although postoperative massage is performed immediately after fat injection to make the injection uniform, if you massage by yourself, the regeneration of blood vessels will be impaired and damage will occur to the adipose tissue.
Since fat easily deteriorates and is delicate to changes in the environment, we will also inform you of precautions to take at home when performing the surgery.
