A total of 1,758cc of purified fat was harvested.
For the breast augmentation, a Motiva Mini 250cc implant was placed in the subglandular plane, and autologous fat grafting was performed with 120cc to the right breast and 80cc to the left breast to improve contour and achieve a more natural appearance.
By 3 months, the breasts have softened considerably, and the overall breast shape and upper body contour have become much more natural and harmonious.
Risks and complications: Infection, palpable lumps (fat necrosis), capsular contracture, skin tethering, scarring, asymmetry, and other potential surgical complications.

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 abdomen and waist, temporary hardness or irregularities due to tissue contraction, and skin laxity may occur.
Silicone implants may cause capsular contracture, implant rupture or malposition, rippling (waves of the implant visible on the surface), infection, and changes in nipple or breast sensation.
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.
