— What Truly Determines Outcomes and Satisfaction —

Fat grafting breast augmentation has three key risks that must be properly understood:

1. Infection
2. Fat necrosis (lumps)
3. Volume loss (fat survival)

Minimizing these risks is essential for achieving safe and satisfying results.

1. Infection

Infections typically occur within the first week after surgery.

Most cases improve with appropriate antibiotics,

but delayed treatment can lead to serious complications.

If you experience fever, redness, severe pain, or swelling,

contact your surgeon immediately.

2. Lumps (Fat Necrosis)

Lumps may appear 3–6 months postoperatively.

• Evaluated accurately with ultrasound
• Observation is possible in mild cases
• Surgical removal is available if needed

Patients with prior breast augmentation (implants, Aquafilling, or fillers) require special caution.

3. Volume Loss

Even under ideal conditions, fat survival rarely exceeds 50%.

Long-term results depend not only on surgical technique,

but equally on postoperative care and lifestyle management.
