Fat graft breast augmentation is one of the most natural and undetectable methods of breast enhancement.

However, the key factor that determines how much volume remains is the survival rate of the transplanted fat, which depends heavily on how you spend the first month after surgery.

Even if 300 cc is injected per side, only 30–50% typically survives.

Therefore, postoperative care must be considered part of the procedure itself.

① The Most Effective Tip: Drink 1 Liter of Soy Milk Daily for 1 Month

This is one of the most reliable methods we recommend at

AVAN TOKYO GINZA LIPOSUCTION CLINIC to improve fat survival rates.

Why does soy milk work?

• Soy isoflavones help stabilize breast tissue
• Plant-based protein supports fat cell repair
• Anti-inflammatory effect reduces the risk of lumps or fat necrosis
• Low-fat, clean nutrition helps prevent systemic inflammation

It may feel like a challenge, but patients who follow this habit consistently show clearly better outcomes.

② Eat Plant-Based Protein and Avoid Pro-Inflammatory Foods

Foods such as natto, tofu, soy milk, edamame are ideal.

Avoid burgers, fried foods, margarine, and highly processed items, as they increase inflammation and raise the risk of lumps.

③ Light Exercise Only

Light walking or stretching is recommended to improve blood flow.

Avoid chest movement, vibration, or compression for at least 1 month.

④ Good Sleep = Better Fat Survival

Growth hormone released during sleep supports tissue repair.

Sleeping less increases systemic inflammation, lowering survival.

⑤ Do Not Press, Massage, or Sleep on Your Chest

Fat is extremely delicate in the early stage.

Pressure can cause displacement or absorption.

Case Example (26-year-old woman)

Arm liposuction (1,050 cc of pure fat removed) → Fat graft breast augmentation (250 cc right / 240 cc left).

Despite modest injection volume, she achieved approximately a 2-cup increase at 1 month because she followed proper postoperative care, including the 1 L soy milk protocol.

Conclusion

Fat grafting success is:

50% surgical technique × 50% postoperative management.

Downtime is part of the procedure.

To maximize fat survival and avoid losing your investment, proper nutrition and lifestyle habits are essential.

AVAN TOKYO GINZA LIPOSUCTION CLINIC provides evidence-based perioperative care to help ensure the highest possible survival rate.
