Who this is for
- Those who want to add breast volume with their own fat instead of an implant
- Those with donor areas such as the abdomen or thighs
How it is done
(1) Fat is harvested from areas with enough fat, such as the abdomen or thighs, according to body shape; (2) unnecessary components are separated and the fat for grafting is purified; (3) the fat is injected in portions across several areas, considering the layered structure of the breast so that it does not concentrate in one spot; (4) left-right balance and overall shape are checked. A board-certified anesthesiologist handles anesthesia 1:1.
