Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Can I decide the area and amount of fat to be extracted?
This is one of the most frequently asked questions during consultations. The question, “Can I increase the size to my desired extent?” is also related to this. The area and amount of fat to be extracted are not arbitrarily decided by the patient, but are determined by the medical team considering safety and body shape proportions. Fat is usually harvested from the abdomen or thighs, but
Q2. How long does the recovery take?
Stem cell (SVF) breast augmentation involves small incisions and carries a relatively low risk of bleeding. In most cases, light daily activities are possible starting the day after surgery, although recovery speed varies from person to person. The SC301's SVF system is designed to minimize damage to fat cells, ensuring that swelling and pain do not persist for a relatively long time.
Q3. Will there be many scars?
Stem cell (SVF) breast augmentation is performed by injecting fat through micro-incisions. For this reason, noticeable scarring is rare, but scar color and recovery speed may vary depending on individual skin conditions. At SC301, we review actual surgical cases during the consultation and discuss the recovery process and aftercare methods.
Q1. Who actually performs the surgery?
It is advisable to verify whether the medical team conducting the consultation personally performs the surgery, whether there are any substitutes, and how many surgeries they perform per day. The reliability of the surgical outcome can be largely gauged from these questions.
Q2. What is the basis for the hospital's explanation?
If you hear claims of a “high graft survival rate” or “low pain,” be sure to ask for the reasons behind them. You can view a hospital with high credibility if it provides a detailed explanation of how they manage graft survival, what the average data is, and whether there are supporting papers or objective evidence.
Q3. How much experience have you had with breast augmentation, especially SVF surgery?
Unlike conventional fat grafting, expertise in cell processing and engraftment management is crucial for SVF breast augmentation. The more experienced a hospital is, the greater its ability to predict and respond to individual body types, skin conditions, and fat characteristics. It is a good idea to directly ask if there have been any cases with similar body types and what the results were.
Q4. Are the systems and facilities for handling SVFs equipped?
Stem cell (SVF) breast augmentation is not a procedure that ends with fat injection alone. It requires a systematic support system that includes cell separation, purification, concentration, mixing, and, if necessary, low-temperature storage. We recommend checking whether the hospital has a dedicated cell processing space, a sterile management system, and a cell banking environment.
Q5. What is your cumulative surgical experience?
Surgical experience holds significance beyond mere numbers. Having handled diverse body types and conditions leads to the ability to respond effectively to unexpected situations. During the consultation, be sure to inquire about their experience with similar cases and how they explain the results.
