There is no problem in injecting 200cc into each breast using grafted autologous fat. The calcification f breast cancer and the history of the family is not a taboo. As for the young women, this is definitely not a problem and in fact, it is an advantage. Why? ? Because the younger your fat is, the higher the survival rate hence this ensures a higher success result.

(15th November 2011) Apple Daily Health section published a piece of news article, which is entitled, ‘Excessive Liposuction for Beast Augmentation Causes Women’s to have Large Purulence but Small Breast.’ The content in the article contradicts today’s medical recognition and could be misleading for the public. The author has been involved in more than 200 cases of autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation. With that, the author should have based his theory on the latest medical journal and self experience to clarify the use of autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation.
First of all, in the article, an interviewee who was a doctor mentioned that the difference between calcification of breast and breast cancer is hard to identify after surgery. Truth to be told, this is a past notion. Autologous fat grafting has had over 100 years of history in the medical world. Even in the last century, the use of autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation had appeared in the news. However, during that time due to the unfamiliarity towards the fats in the method, most of the grafted fats have an extremely low survival rate. In additional, the technology of MRI was not able to differentiate between the calcification of breast and cancer. These disadvantages had eventually made The America Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASPRS) to discourage the public to undergo this surgery 1987.
Following the advanced of medicine and technology, the clinical results of autologous fat stem cells and growth cofactors show that they can improve the survival rate of grafted fat largely. It is also no longer a problem for the MRI to differentiate between the calcification of fat and breast cancer. According to a report by Yoshimura, a Japanese researcher, the current survival rate of grafted fat can reach a maximum value of 70-80%. Moreover, the occurrence of calcification or cyst can be minimized to as low as 5% and below. Compared to the breast implants that can cause side effects like capsular contracture or rupture, autologous fat grafting can be considered a safe and low-risk for breast augmentation. The advanced in technology and the world has changed the initial stand and view of ASPRS on the subject of breast augmentation using autologous fat grafting.
For the people who have the history of breast cancers in their family, do not worry about doing this surgery because autologous fat grafting will not increase the risk of breast cancer, as long as regular checkups are conducted after surgery.
Furthermore, the article also mentioned that to be on the safe side, Taiwan women are advised to inject 100cc into each breast for each surgery. If the fat is injected excessively per surgery, the fat will not be able to survive and will eventually die away. This is completely a shallow and unproven statement. The cup size of the breast is the same as the volume of the breast. To increase a cup size it will need at least 175cc of volume. If we were to calculate based on 80% of survival rate, only 80cc of injected 100cc will remain, not even reaching the size of half a cup. The real question is, how can anybody accept such form of autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation?
The deciding factors for the volume to be used for the autologous fat grafting are determined from two main aspects: Firstly, the original condition of the breast. If the breast development is poor and the breast is too small, it is best to be careful. If the thickness of the breast is enough, there will be no problem for the formation of connective tissue in the breast. Second, the area of the fat providing space: normally the fat in the outer thigh will be the best, followed by the fat in the stomach. According to a foreign journal report, the average volume is between 200-250cc. Yoshimura even injected until 300cc and when he tracked back the condition after a few years, the condition of the breast is normal.
Women whose breast skin is tight or breast size is too small, during the autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation, the purification technology and the standards of injection need to be handled carefully, in order to decrease any post-operation complications. Normally this role depends on the physicians’ experience and technical skills, not that young woman cannot do autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation.
The author had read through the whole article but there are only two correct points from his conclusion of autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation. The first is, the injection must be done uniformly and do not inject it on certain part to avoid fat necrosis. Second, the physician should inform the patients on the complications after surgery and the risk. Most importantly, there is no problem in injecting 200cc into each breast using grafted autologous fat. The calcification f breast cancer and the history of the family is not a taboo. As for the young women, this is definitely not a problem and in fact, it is an advantage. Why? ? Because the younger your fat is, the higher the survival rate hence this ensures a higher success result.
