Overview:

As early as the 1970s, after autologous fat transplantation was confirmed as a reliable method in the field of plastic surgery, it gradually began to be applied across various areas of cosmetic and plastic surgery.

Advantages:

1. Autologous fat transplantation involves using the patient’s own fat particles, which, as part of the body’s own tissues, possess biological characteristics that far surpass those of any artificial implant material. Therefore, for the patient themselves, this procedure is completely non-toxic and harmless, and will not trigger immune responses or rejection reactions.

2. Autologous fat transplantation does not alter the body’s endocrine environment, causes no harm to the breast itself, and has no adverse effects on future fertility or breastfeeding.

3. Autologous fat transplantation is relatively easy to harvest, and the source material consists of fat particles rich in stem cells.

4. The collected fat (stem cells) possess regenerative and skin-rejuvenating effects.

5. Using minimally invasive techniques—non-surgical, incision-free, scarless, foreign-body-free, and painless.

6. For individuals with excessive localized fat accumulation, autologous fat transplantation—not only can it be used for facial contouring and breast augmentation—but also helps with weight loss, body slimming, and sculpting a perfectly contoured, curvaceous physique.

Disadvantages:

The survival rate of fat grafting is relatively low (typically reported between 30% and 70%), and sometimes the “small-volume, multiple-injection” approach—and even overcorrection—is necessary. The unstable nature of the treatment outcomes has thus limited the widespread adoption of this surgical technique.
