For the Hybrid Breast Augmentation, 120cc of fat was injected into the right breast and 80cc into the left breast, and a Motiva Mini 220cc silicone implant was placed in the subglandular plane.
Because of her young age and good healing capacity, her recovery has progressed very well, and by 1 month postoperatively, the breast contour has already become significantly smoother and more natural.
Risks and complications: Infection, fat necrosis or palpable lumps, capsular contracture, skin tethering, asymmetry, scarring, 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.
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.
