Secondary Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation3 Months Postoperative – 25-Year-Old Female

2026.06.16

Before

After

The patient featured in this case is a 25-year-old female who underwent a second fat transfer breast augmentation procedure to further improve breast volume and contour.

Many patients seeking a more natural breast enhancement choose staged fat grafting procedures rather than attempting to achieve a large volume increase in a single session.

Procedure Details
During the second procedure, the fat injection volume was relatively modest:
● Right breast: approximately low 200cc range
● Left breast: approximately low 200cc range
Despite the conservative volume, fat retention at 3 months has been noticeably better than after the first procedure.

Why Can Fat Retention Improve During a Second Procedure?
Successful fat grafting depends on blood supply.
After the first fat transfer procedure, new capillaries develop throughout the breast tissue, improving the environment for future graft survival.
In addition, the first procedure expands the breast tissue, creating additional space for subsequent fat placement.
As a result, many patients experience improved fat retention during their second procedure.

3-Month Follow-Up
At 3 months postoperatively:
● Most swelling has resolved
● Breast shape has become more stable
● Volume retention is favorable
● The upper pole and cleavage area demonstrate improved fullness
The patient has achieved a natural and balanced breast contour with excellent progression throughout recovery.

The AVAN TOKYO Approach
At AVAN TOKYO, fat transfer breast augmentation is not simply about injecting large volumes of fat.
We focus on:
● Fat harvesting technique
● Fat processing quality
● Injection layers
● Injection volume
● Postoperative management
to maximize both fat survival and aesthetic outcomes.
For some patients, a second or third procedure may be more effective than attempting aggressive volume enhancement in a single operation.
