Bride-to-be, How to Increase Breast Volume One Month Before the Wedding

Ms. Seo (29, female), who works as a school staff member, is planning to get married in three months. Everything is going smoothly, but there is just one thing that is bothering her. Her chest is too small, so the dress doesn't look good on her. 

Even when she went to try on a wedding dress, the wedding planner and the dress shop staff reacted with concern to Ms. Seo's small breasts, wondering, "What should be done about this?" Wanting to look like the most beautiful bride on her wedding day, she scoured the internet every day looking for a good solution. During this time, she learned about "stem cell autologous fat graft breast augmentation" and sought a consultation. Although she was worried that she might not be able to achieve a natural line by the time of her wedding, which was just three months away, the hospital reassured her that there would be no problem as the grafts would take about one to two months to integrate, so she scheduled the surgery date. 

In a survey of 500 brides-to-be, the most desired cosmetic procedure ahead of the wedding was found to be 'breasts.' Body contouring ranked second. This is likely because while facial changes can be covered up with bridal makeup, there are limitations to changing one's body shape in a short period of time.

In reality, brides-to-be often receive breast massages, consider breast augmentation acupuncture, or try breast-lifting exercises ahead of their wedding. A significant number also purchase breast enlargement creams. However, it is true that it is difficult to expect groundbreaking results from these methods. Even if they want to undergo breast surgery, they have been unable to easily make the decision due to concerns about long-lasting side effects. 

"In reality, breast augmentation using implants requires post-operative care such as massage, and long-lasting side effects interfered with daily life," said Shin Dong-jin, director of SC301 Clinic. "Recently, fat grafting, in which fat is extracted from areas with excess fat such as the abdomen or thighs and transplanted into the breasts instead of implants, is gaining popularity." He added, "Breast augmentation using autologous fat results in natural softness, volume, and elasticity, leading to high patient satisfaction." 

However, simply injecting fat had a limitation in that the engraftment rate was low, ranging from 20 to 30, as the transplanted fat was quickly absorbed by the tissue. Recently, an upgraded version called 'stem cell breast augmentation' that addresses this issue has been receiving a positive response. 

Director Shin explained, “By injecting adipose-derived adult stem cells contained in the patient’s adipose tissue, the engraftment rate can be increased to the 70s through the stem cells’ immunosuppressive response, the resulting anti-inflammatory effect, differentiation into fat cells, cartilage cells, bone cells, and muscle cells, and the induction of angiogenesis.” He added, “To achieve proper stem cell breast augmentation results, approximately 1 million or more stem cells must be administered in a single procedure, and this figure can be verified using a cell counting device.” 

He has proven the high engraftment rate of stem cell breast augmentation through papers published since 2012. In a paper published in 2013, he analyzed the results of stem cell breast augmentation on 200 patients in their 20s to 50s who were available for follow-up observation for one year and revealed that the chest circumference increased by an average of about 5 cm regardless of age.

Here, 'microcapsules' are injected to further enhance the engraftment rate. The composition within the capsules acts as a booster that increases the engraftment rate by diffusing stem cells and forming and expanding blood vessels. This improves the problem of requiring 'retouching'. 

Brides-to-be with only a short time left before their wedding often hesitate to decide on surgery due to concerns about time constraints. However, there is no need to worry too much, as full recovery from stem cell breast augmentation takes place within one to two months. Nevertheless, localized swelling may occur after the surgery, so it is necessary to manage this carefully.

To effectively reduce swelling, the priority is to promote smooth blood circulation. Director Shin Dong-jin advised, “Consuming foods that aid blood circulation or taking light walks after surgery is helpful,” adding, “However, you should not overdo it, as strenuous exercise can actually lower the survival rate of fat cells.” 

He said, “Stem cell cosmetic surgery is safer and more effective than conventional surgical methods if performed with specialized knowledge and skilled techniques,” adding, “Our hospital performs meticulous handmade surgeries to create natural breast lines, thereby increasing patient satisfaction.”
