A 21-year-old patient after fat-graft breast augmentation (following full-circumference arm and full-circumference thigh liposuction).
This is her 3-month postoperative result.
Case overview
| Procedure | Fat grafting breast augmentation |
|---|---|
| Sessions | 1 session |
| Cost | ¥1,700,000 (price at the time of treatment, monitor price) Price list |
| Main risks | swelling, bruising, pain, edema, skin irregularities, asymmetry, scars, prolonged swelling, lumps, calcification, etc. (see details below) |
| Doctor | Dr. Shin Moriwaki (Director) |
We injected 340 cc on the right and 330 cc on the left, which is a slightly higher volume than average. However, because her skin elasticity and glandular tissue were both sufficient, the risk of fat necrosis or firm lumps was considered low, allowing us to safely inject over 300 cc.
At 3 months, she has achieved a natural increase of about 1.5 cup sizes, and her progress is excellent.
Risks include infection, fat necrosis, and individual differences in fat retention.
Surgeon: Dr. Shin Moriwaki (Director, AVAN TOKYO Ginza Liposuction Clinic)
Risks and side effects
Liposuction may cause swelling, bruising, pain, edema, skin irregularities or tightness, asymmetry, pigmentation, and scars at the small incision sites. Rarely, complications such as infection, hematoma, numbness, or reduced sensation may occur. On the upper arms, shoulders, and back, skin laxity, rippling, or a pulling sensation may occur. On the thighs, calves, and other lower-body areas, prolonged swelling, asymmetry, and reduced sensation may occur; the ankles and calves are particularly prone to swelling and pigmentation.
Fat grafting may cause calcification, lumps or cysts, individual variation in fat survival, asymmetry, and irregularities at the donor site.
These symptoms may occur during recovery and most improve over time, but their severity and the recovery period vary from person to person. If you have any concerns, please consult your doctor rather than judging for yourself.
