Following the improvement of the medical field and technology, the stem cells and growth factors were tested clinically that they could increase the survival rate of grafted fat by a large scale. Furthermore, our MRI has also been upgraded and modernized that it can differentiate between the calcification of fat and breast cancer.

The recent article that appeared in the health section of Apple Daily, which entitled ‘Excessive Liposuction for Breast Augmentation Causes Woman’s to have Large Purulence but Small Breast’ has caused qualms among the public, sparked a wave of shock in the field of cosmetology. However, Dr. Chiu, a Taiwan professional in autologous fat grafting, has a different point of view.
First of all, the article also pointed out the difficulties in identifying the calcification of breast and breast cancer after surgery. Upon that statement, Dr. Chiu said that such perception was in the past and no longer applies for the world today.
“ Truth to be told, autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation had been used since the last century. However, due to the unfamiliarity of the public towards fats by that time, very often the grafted fat could not survive. In addition, the MRI was not that advanced yet to identify the difference between calcification of breast and breast cancer. Anyhow, thanks to the improvement of the medical field and technology, the stem cell and growth factors were tested clinically that they can increase the survival rate of grafted fat by a large scale. Furthermore, our MRI has also been upgraded and modernized that it can differentiate between the calcification of fat and breast cancer.
Dr. Chiu even took the Japanese researcher, Yoshiruma’s research report as a proof, stating that the current survival rate of grafted fat has been maximized to 70 to 80% and the calcification and the formation of cyst after surgery has been decreased to 5% and below. Today, autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation can be said to be a relatively safe operation.
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. Dr. Chiu, who is also an experienced physician in carrying out clinical tests, said that, “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 the injected 100cc will remain, not even reaching the size of half cup. May I ask, what is the purpose of breast augmentation if the result achieved is half a cup size? ”
So, what should we pay heed to for autologous for fat grafting for breast augmentation? What volume will be suitable? First of all, the original condition of the breast: If the breast development is poor and the breast is too small, it is the 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. As for the volume, it would be an average value between 200 to 250cc.
