    As implants are non-biological substances, it is very difficult to achieve a natural outline inthin, petite-framed patients.

     

    In such patients, the outline of the implant becomes readily visible after surgery.

     

    This is a cause of stress of many women who received breast augmentation with implants.

     

    Even in patients whose own breast tissues are sufficient enough to hold the implants in a natural shape, the breast fat tissues thin as time passes and the outline of the implant becomes more noticeable.

     

    Moreover, capsular contracture can frequently happen after pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding, in which case, implants must be removed.

     

    Many surgeons are skeptical whetherautologous fatbreast augmentation can bring comparable results as implants when it comes to volume augmentation.

     

    Also, many surgeons are deterred by the many complications arising from autologous fatbreast augmentation.

    However, I have been performingautologous fatbreast augmentation for over 14 years and have somewhat different opinions.

     

    Fat is a natural volume enhancer and autologous fat transplantation can bring superior aesthetic results to implant breast augmentation,if the engraftment is successful.

     

    However, it is not the kind of procedure that inexperienced surgeons can tackle. Seeing many patients visit me with complications caused by the surgeon’s lack of experience affirms my belief that this procedure is best left to the experts.

     

    Despite this drawback, I have seen many patients finally enjoy the results they want with autologous fat breast augmentation.

     

    This leads me to believe that autologous fat breast augmentation is much more effective and safer than the implantopition in achieving the desired outcome.
