For 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.
Big and plump boobs that look beautiful are one of those things that every women yearn for and they are also the subject that males usually compliment on. Since their puberty, many females just wouldn’t have proper development of their breasts. There are also some who are satisfied with their breasts but the breasts become smaller and change in shape due to giving birth and breast feeling.
Many people who encounter such troubling problem tend to ignore it as the first place. When realization dawn upon them, they are freaked out that they do not whom to look for consultation. Hence, they will go for the products that are widely promoted on the TV or shopping channel. There are even some who go to cosmetic sauna in hope that through massage their breasts can grow bigger. The real question is, does it work? Normally these ways only cost you a lot and your problem still remain unsolved.
Under desperation, some eventually choose artificial augmentation. The results are not bad but there are a few problems:
So, what if autologous fat is used for breast augmentation? Will there be problems mentioned above? The answer is uncertain and cannot be guaranteed. The autologous fat is extracted from one’s own body parts and sometimes those parts have too much fat so isn't it great to graft them to insufficient parts? The person/people who have invented this method must be very clever.
However, there are some problems of the traditional autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation:
According to recent medical journals, it is found that the low survival rate of the grafted fat is due to the fact that the amount of stem cells is about 50% lesser than the original fat. Some of these stem cells might have slipped into the blood during the operation or remained in the parts that supply fat as they did not come by for stem cells are normally found in large numbers around the blood vessels. The extracted fat does not have any veins which explains the less amount of stem cells. These reasons resulted in the situation whereby the grafted fat gradually shrinks away over a few months.
The stem cells are responsible for the new growth of the blood vessels, increase the amount of oxygen and provide nutrients. In addition, stem cells are also responsible for the supply of growth cofactors that supply new fats and at the same time convert into fat cells. If the grafted fat in the breasts lacks the help of stem cells, the survival rate of the fat will surely decrease. Hence, if the concentration of stem cells in the grafted fat can be increased, then this problem that has had may people worried can be resolved once and for all.
Japanese and Korean researched have found out that when the grafted fats is divided into two parts; one for the extraction of stem cells while the other is purified followed by the addition of the previous stem cells, can double the concentration of stem cells in the purified fat.
Through this process, the survival rate of autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation can be increased from 30% to 80-90%. Let us take a look at a foreign medical report which stated that the results of autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation can achieve stability after 3 months and after years of observation, the size still remains the same.
Autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation has a couple of benefits:
After the surgery for autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation, only a minority of patients will have distending pain. The pain can be resolved by the intake of inflammatory drugs or pain-relieving medicine. In the week after the surgery, it is not advisable to apply force on the breasts. In two months, the size of the breasts will decrease by 10-20%. At the end of the results, the size of the breasts is around 1.5 cup size.
The hearsay that the calcification of breasts after autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation is hard to identify from that of breast cancer is a notion in the past. 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 fat has an extremely low survival rate. In addition, the technology of MRI was not able to differentiate between calcification of breast and cancer. These disadvantages had eventually made the America Council of Academic Plastic Surgeons (ACAPS) to discourage the public to undergo this surgery 1987. However, as technology becomes more modern ad sophisticated by the day, ACAPS has changed their stand and no longer opposes the use of autologous fat grafting.
Following the advance 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 as a safe and low-risk for breast augmentation.
The advance in technology and the world has changed the initial stand and view of ACAPS on the subject of breast augmentation using autologous fat grafting. The council doesn’t oppose the surgery anymore. For 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.

Under desperation, some eventually choose artificial augmentation. The results are not bad but there are a few problems:
- The appearance of the breasts is not natural.
- The touch of the breasts is not genuine.
- Suffer caused by the massage after surgery.
- There is a certain risk of getting injection.
- Side effects such as rupture, etc.

However, there are some problems of the traditional autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation:
- The grafted fat in the breasts has a low survival rate. The breasts do look big and expanded after surgery but after three months, only one third of the fat will survive.
- The percentage of calcification is high. The fats do not survive will undergo calcification in the breasts and this will make breast cancer unable to be identified.
- The formation of cyst and other problems have resulted the hiatus of this method for some time.

Autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation has a couple of benefits:
- The shape is more natural as compared to saline or silicone implants that can be easily recognized due to their unnatural shape.
- The touch of the breast is more genuine and real because the fat used is from your very own body so it feels soft and elastic just like a real breast.
- The patient will feel better about herself that she won’t feel any foreign bodies or foreign matter in her body.
