— Postoperative Nutrition Is the “Second Surgery” —

Breast fat grafting is a procedure in which your own fat cells are transplanted into the breasts to achieve natural volume enhancement. However, even with a technically perfect surgery, the survival rate of transferred fat is largely determined by your postoperative nutritional environment.

For transplanted fat cells to survive, three essential conditions are required:

1. Adequate blood circulation
2. A low-inflammation environment
3. Proper nutritional support for fat cells, skin, and mammary tissue

All three are greatly influenced by postoperative diet.

1. Foods That Improve Blood Circulation and Oxygen Delivery

Transferred fat survives only after new blood vessels grow into it. Therefore, better circulation directly improves fat survival.

• Mackerel & blue fish: EPA/DHA improve blood flow and reduce inflammation.
• 72% dark chocolate & cocoa: Polyphenols enhance microcirculation.
• Tomato juice: Lycopene reduces oxidative stress after surgery.
• Lemon water: Supports circulation through mild detoxification.

2. Hormonal Balance for Breast Tissue Support

Stable estrogen-like activity helps maintain mammary tissue and fat survival:

• Soy milk & miso: Isoflavones stabilize breast tissue.
• Almond milk: Vitamin E and healthy fats support hormone synthesis.
• Black sesame seeds: Phytoestrogen and antioxidant effects.
• Rooibos tea: Caffeine-free hormonal and autonomic balance support.

3. Protein & Healthy Fats for Structural Support

• Chicken breast: High-quality protein for wound healing.
• Eggs: Support collagen production.
• Avocado: Improves skin moisture and flexibility.
• Olive oil, nut butter, walnuts: Stabilize fat cell membranes.

4. Gut Health Directly Affects Fat Survival

• Yogurt: Improves nutrient absorption.
• Sweet potatoes: Stabilize blood sugar and inflammation.
• Seaweed: Mineral supply and swelling control.

5. Why We Recommend “1 Liter of Soy Milk per Day”

At AVAN TOKYO GINZA LIPOSUCTION CLINIC, we strongly recommend 1 liter of soy milk daily for one month post-surgery because:

• Enhances microcirculation
• Improves fat stem cell survival
• Stabilizes estrogen activity
• Promotes wound healing

6. Foods to Avoid

• Fast food, fried foods, margarine
• Excess sugar and alcohol
• Extreme dieting

These increase inflammation and fat necrosis risk.

Summary

50% of results come from surgery, 50% come from postoperative care.

Diet determines long-term success.
