Fat graft breast augmentation is an excellent, natural approach—but only if the grafted fat survives.

Certain habits drastically reduce the survival of fat cells, making the surgery ineffective.

❌ Five Factors That Ruin Results

1. Smoking
   Nicotine constricts blood vessels, reducing oxygen and nutrient delivery. This leads to fat necrosis and oil cysts.
2. Previous breast procedures (e.g., hyaluronic acid or Aquafilling)
   Residual fillers cause inflammation and prevent proper integration of grafted fat.
3. Postoperative medical dieting or GLP-1 drugs
   Rapid fat loss after surgery causes grafted fat to shrink or disappear.
4. Wearing tight bras too soon
   Compression restricts blood flow to the grafted fat, compromising its survival. Avoid tight bras for at least one month.
5. Poor nutrition
   Fat grafts need protein, vitamins, and iron to survive. Balanced nutrition greatly enhances long-term results.

💡 Medical Insight

Fat grafts survive through revascularization—the reconnection of blood vessels.

Smoking cessation, adequate nutrition, and avoiding compression are critical for success.

At AVAN TOKYO GINZA LIPOSUCTION CLINIC, we emphasize postoperative management, including dietary and lifestyle guidance, to maximize graft retention.
