What is hybrid breast augmentation?
Hybrid breast augmentation is a procedure that combines silicone bag augmentation and fat injections. The silicone bag augmentation provides a definite increase in volume, while the fat augmentation provides a natural-looking result and a soft touch.
Conventional silicone bag breast augmentation can provide “larger breasts,” but there is a concern that the breasts may feel somewhat firm. With hybrid breast augmentation, fat is injected at the same time, creating a natural elasticity on the surface of the skin, and a softer, more natural feel can be expected.
On the other hand, conventional fat augmentation provides “natural softness,” but it is difficult to significantly increase the size of the breasts. In particular, when fat augmentation is performed on a thin person, the amount of fat that can be harvested is limited, which limits the effect of breast enhancement.
Hybrid breast augmentation covers both disadvantages and maximizes the merits of each. This procedure is recommended for those who wish to achieve both a “significant increase in size” and a “natural-looking result.
Features of Hybrid Breast Augmentation
Silicon bags for firm volume
Hybrid breast augmentation uses silicon bags in combination, which can be expected to reliably increase the height and volume of the breasts. The height of the inserted silicone bag is firmly produced, which will significantly increase breast augmentation.
In addition, silicone bags can be adjusted in detail in terms of height, width, arc length, etc., so they can be designed to suit each patient’s individual body shape and ideal breasts.
Fat augmentation for a natural look and feel
When fat augmentation is performed with hybrid breast augmentation, fat is injected into the surface of the skin that has been volumized by the silicone bag, so a more natural and beautiful result can be expected in terms of appearance and feel.
The “hardness” that may be felt with silicone bags alone is made softer and more elastic by injecting fat, giving the breasts the look and feel of real breasts.
High breast enhancement effect
Hybrid breast augmentation can be expected to have a high breast enhancement effect due to the expansion caused by fat injection, in addition to the breast enhancement effect of silicone bags.
With conventional fat augmentation, it is sometimes difficult to significantly increase the size of the breasts due to the amount of fat to be harvested and the patient’s body type.
By using silicone bags to create the base volume and fat injections to create a fine line and shape, the result is beautiful to the eye and to the touch.
In addition, fat injections can also provide a natural “natural texture” and “soft touch,” which were difficult to achieve with silicone bags alone, so a beautiful bust line and soft touch can be achieved at the same time.
The shape will not lose its shape even if you lie on your back.
When silicone bags and liposuction are used together, there is no need to worry about silicone bags floating out even when you lie on your back.
With breast augmentation using only silicone bags, the silicone bags may float up and look unnatural when the patient lies on his/her back. This is especially true for skinny women, who have less subcutaneous fat in their breasts, and the silicone bags tend to be more noticeable.
By injecting fat into the areas where silicone bags tend to float, the shape of the breasts can be smoothed out and a natural finish can be expected. The breasts are soft to the touch and maintain a beautiful bust line from all angles, which is why they are highly favored by models and gravure actresses.

Our commitment to hybrid breast augmentation
We use the highest quality Motiva silicone implant
Our clinic uses Motiva and PERLE silicone bags with a focus on safety and beautiful results. Motiva is characterized by its resistance to wrinkles and deformation even when inserted into breasts that are packed with gel without gaps, and its natural conformity to the body’s movements.
In addition, the surface has a special processing called “silk surface,” which has the advantage of blending in well with the skin and preventing discomfort and hardness after insertion.
The size and shape of the silicone bag can be finely adjusted, and from approximately 350 variations, you can choose the breast design that best suits you.
We use Condensen Rich (CRF) for fat injections with a high retention rate
At our clinic, we use Condense Rich Fat (CRF) for fat injections. Condensen Rich is a high quality fat that has been harvested and concentrated in a centrifuge to thoroughly remove impurities and dead cells.
With conventional fat injections, the injected fat is easily absorbed by the body, and the retention rate tends to vary from person to person, which is also a concern. However, with Condense Rich, only high quality fat cells are injected, so the retention rate is extremely high at 60-80%, and a more natural and long-lasting breast enhancement effect can be expected.
In addition, because it uses the patient’s own fat, the breasts are soft to the touch, and the finished product is natural. Combined with silicone bags, the breast line can be fine-tuned and the texture can be more natural and beautiful.
Design that maximizes the advantages of silicone bags and fat augmentation
Our hybrid breast augmentation is designed to maximize the advantages of both silicone bags and liposuction.
While silicone bags ensure the base height and size of the breasts, fat injections are used to adjust the missing areas and smooth curves of the skin, making the fine lines and softness of the breasts more natural.
Furthermore, it has the advantage of reducing concerns about left-right differences in the breasts and noticeable contours of the silicone bags, so a more balanced and beautiful bust line can be expected.
Downtime for Hybrid Breast Augmentation
- Downtime Periods and Symptoms
-
Although it varies from person to person, the average downtime period for hybrid breast augmentation is two weeks to one month.
Swelling and internal bleeding may be seen after the surgery, but will subside naturally over time. In particular, swelling peaks around the third day after the procedure and then becomes less noticeable after about a week.
- Insertion position of silicone bag in hybrid breast augmentation
-
When inserting silicone bags, patients can choose between “submental,” “submammary,” or “subfascial” insertion, depending on their body shape and desired result.
Insertion position Features Adapted by Under the pectoralis major muscle ・Silicon bag is inserted under the pectoralis major muscle
・The shape of the silicon bag is less noticeable because the muscle covers itSkinny people and those with thin skin Under the mammary gland ・Insertion under the mammary gland
・Soft to the touchThose with thick skin and mammary glands Subfascial ・Inserted under the fascia surrounding the pectoralis major muscle
・Less stress on the muscle and less likely to lose its shape・Want to keep its natural shape
・Want to put as little stress on the body as possible
- Hybrid Breast Augmentation Scars
-
Hybrid breast augmentation combines silicone bag insertion with liposuction and fat injection, resulting in scars associated with each procedure. However, for each procedure, we select areas that are less noticeable so that the scars after the surgery will be as unnoticeable as possible.
- Silicon bag scars
-
When silicon bags are inserted, small incisions are made mainly under the armpits and breasts. Under the armpit, the scar is hidden by a natural crease, so it is hardly noticeable. On the other hand, under the breasts, the incision is made along the crease of the breast, so it is hardly noticeable from the front.
The length of the incision is minimized to approximately 3 to 4 cm, and after the surgery, the scar is carefully sutured so that it will not be noticeable. The scars gradually fade over time and are rarely noticeable in everyday life.
- Scars from liposuction
-
In liposuction, small incisions of a few millimeters are made when fat is extracted from the abdomen, thighs, and arms. The incision is made to insert a thin tube (cannula) for suctioning fat, but it is barely noticeable because the incision is made in a crease of the body or in an area that is not easily noticeable.
- Scars from fat injections
-
Fat injections create a small scar about the size of a syringe needle hole when injected into the breast. This is very small and hardly noticeable. Slight internal bleeding may occur at the injection site, but it will resolve spontaneously within a few days to a week.
Risks and Side Effects in Hybrid Breast Augmentation
Hybrid breast augmentation has a small number of risks and side effects.
- Contracture
-
In the case of silicone bags, capsular contracture, in which the body recognizes the bag as a foreign body and forms a membrane around it, which becomes rigid, can occur. This can occur depending on the patient’s constitution and care, but proper postoperative massage and follow-up care can minimize the risk.
- Prominent contours
-
Also, if you are thin or have thin skin, the contours of the bag may be more noticeable, but with hybrid breast augmentation, the fat is injected in layers so that it blends in naturally.
- Lumps
-
may also result in “lumps” if the fat does not settle evenly, but the risk of this is minimized with fat injections by selecting and injecting only good quality fat.
- Infection
-
If there is increased or prolonged heat, pain, swelling, or redness after the surgery, infection is suspected and the bag may need to be removed and reinserted.
- Internal bleeding
-
If bleeding occurs in the skin after surgery, blood will pool in the wound and cause it to swell. In such cases, the wound is opened and the accumulated blood is drained out.
Hybrid Breast Augmentation Procedure Flow
STEP1Counseling
We will first have a consultation to discuss your ideal breast size and shape in detail. The size and design of the silicone bag and the site of liposuction will be decided together with the patient. We will thoroughly explain the finished image and the details of the procedure, so please do not hesitate to consult us if you have any concerns or anxieties.
STEP2Preoperative Examination
In order to ensure the safety of your procedure, we will perform blood tests and check your health. We will thoroughly understand your physical condition and prepare you for the surgery. We will also check your allergies and past surgical history, so if you have any concerns, please let us know at this stage.
STEP3Size measurement and photography
We will determine the type and size of silicone bag according to your desired breast size and shape. We will also take pre-operative photos of your breasts so that we can compare them with your post-operative state.
STEP4Anesthesia
Hybrid Breast Augmentation procedure is performed under a relaxed state using intravenous or general anesthesia. The procedure will begin only after the effects of the anesthesia have been confirmed, so those who are anxious about pain can rest assured that the procedure will be performed in a relaxed state.
STEP5Liposuction
Fat to be injected into the breasts is collected from the abdomen, thighs, arms, etc. The incision for liposuction is only a few millimeters, so the scar will hardly be noticeable after the surgery. The suctioned fat is placed in a centrifuge and impurities are carefully removed.
STEP6Silicon bag insertion and fat injection
A silicon bag is inserted into the breast to create base height and volume. Then, fat is injected to create a fine line and a natural soft and smooth breast line.
STEP7Rest and Aftercare in the Recovery Room
After the procedure is over, you will rest in the recovery room. You will go home after we confirm that your condition has calmed down. We will explain to you in detail about your postoperative care and how to spend your time, so please feel free to ask us if you have any concerns.
How to spend the day after hybrid breast augmentation
On the day of the procedure
After the procedure, you will still be under anesthesia, so do not move around and stay as rested as possible. You may experience pain and discomfort, which will be relieved by taking prescribed painkillers.
In addition, to stabilize the position of the silicone bag, the breasts will be compressed and immobilized. After returning home, lie down and rest as much as possible.
The day after the procedure
From the next day, you will be able to move around a little more. Swelling and swelling may still be a concern, but do not overdo it and keep your movements light.
Postoperative day 3
This is the time when swelling and swelling are at their peak. Slight soreness and internal bleeding may occur at the breast and liposuction site, but will diminish over time. Light work such as desk work will be possible, but heavy lifting and strenuous activities should be avoided.
One week after surgery
You will be asked to come to our clinic for suture removal.
After one week, the swelling and pain will gradually decrease, and you will be able to gradually return to your daily activities. To stabilize the position of the silicone bag, please wear the designated supporter and bra tightly.
One month after surgery
After about a month, the swelling in your breasts will settle down and the silicone bag and fat will begin to adjust to each other. You will be able to go about your daily activities as normal, but you should continue to avoid strong stimulation of the breasts, muscle training, and strenuous exercise.
After 3 months after surgery
After 3 months, the silicone bag will naturally adjust and the fat will settle and stabilize the breasts. The softness and feel of the breasts will be natural, and you can expect them to feel similar to your original breasts. There will be almost no restrictions on strenuous exercise or daily activities, and you will be able to lead your life as usual.
