Hybrid Breast Augmentation Case Study | 6 Months After Surgery2026.07.29
Achieving Natural Volume and an Elegant Breast Contour with a 220 cc Silicone Implant and Fat Grafting
“I want a noticeable breast enhancement.”
“But I don’t want my breasts to look obviously augmented.”
For patients seeking both volume and a natural appearance, Hybrid Breast Augmentation—combining a silicone implant with autologous fat grafting—can be an excellent option.
At AVAN TOKYO, our goal is not simply to increase breast size. We carefully design the entire upper-body silhouette, creating a smooth transition from the décolletage to the breasts and waist for balanced, elegant proportions.
In this article, we present a patient who is now 6 months after Hybrid Breast Augmentation.
Case Summary
Patient
Age: Not disclosed
Procedure
• Hybrid Breast Augmentation
Implant
• Motiva Mini 220 cc
• Subglandular placement
Fat Grafting
• Right breast: 80 mL
• Left breast: 70 mL
Follow-up
• 6 months after surgery
Results at 6 Months
By six months after surgery, postoperative swelling has resolved, tissues have softened, and the breasts have reached a more stable shape and consistency.
In this case, excellent breast volume has been maintained, resulting in a natural yet well-defined breast contour.
Key features of the outcome include:
• A smooth transition from the décolletage to the breasts
• Well-balanced symmetry
• Natural fullness of the upper pole
• Improved three-dimensional projection and overall silhouette
Rather than simply creating larger breasts, the goal was to achieve harmonious body proportions.
What Is Hybrid Breast Augmentation?
Hybrid Breast Augmentation combines silicone breast implants with autologous fat grafting.
The implant provides predictable, long-lasting volume, while carefully placed fat grafts refine the contour by:
• Enhancing fullness in the décolletage
• Softening the visible and palpable edges of the implant
• Improving the natural feel and appearance of the breasts
This approach combines the strengths of both techniques while minimizing some of the limitations associated with either implants or fat grafting alone.
Why Add Fat Around the Implant?
Some patients ask,
“Isn’t a 220 cc implant enough?”
Volume is only one part of an attractive breast.
At AVAN TOKYO, fat grafting is performed not simply to enlarge the breasts, but to improve contour, softness, and natural aesthetics.
Strategic fat grafting can help:
• Restore natural upper-pole fullness
• Smooth the transition between the implant and surrounding tissues
• Enhance the three-dimensional shape of the breast
• Create a softer and more natural appearance
Our priority is to design breasts that look and feel natural from every angle.
The AVAN TOKYO Philosophy
Beautiful breast augmentation should never focus on the breasts alone.
We evaluate the entire upper body, including:
• Clavicles
• Décolletage
• Shoulders
• Upper arms
• Rib cage
• Waistline
By analyzing each patient’s anatomy, skin thickness, existing breast tissue, and body proportions, we determine the most appropriate implant size and fat graft volume for long-term harmony.
Who May Benefit from Hybrid Breast Augmentation?
This procedure may be suitable for patients who:
• Want natural-looking breast enhancement
• Have limited upper-pole fullness
• Wish to minimize visible implant edges
• Desire softer breast contours
• Are looking for long-lasting, balanced breast aesthetics
Risks and Potential Complications
Hybrid Breast Augmentation may involve risks including:
• Swelling
• Bruising
• Infection
• Hematoma
• Partial fat resorption
• Fat necrosis or palpable lumps
• Capsular contracture
• Implant malposition
• Mild asymmetry
During consultation, we carefully explain both the potential benefits and limitations of the procedure so that every patient can make an informed decision.
Surgeon’s Comment
Beautiful breast augmentation is not determined by the number of cubic centimeters placed.
What truly matters is:
• Selecting the appropriate implant size for the patient’s anatomy
• Choosing the correct implant plane
• Precisely placing the appropriate amount of fat in the appropriate tissue layers
• Supporting optimal healing throughout recovery
At AVAN TOKYO, every Hybrid Breast Augmentation is planned using anatomy-based principles and plastic surgery techniques tailored to each individual patient.
Our objective is not temporary enlargement.
Our goal is to create breasts that remain natural, elegant, and harmonious at 6 months, 1 year, and for many years to come.
