Breast Augmentation Clinic: What Should You Look For? — 7 Things to Check Before Consultation

Q: What does this hospital focus on?

Breast augmentation is broadly divided into two categories: implants and autologous fat grafting, and the preparation for each differs. For implants, the key factors are product selection and the incision method, whereas for autologous fat grafting, the key is how much of the fat is preserved during insertion. Even though it is the same 'breast augmentation,' each hospital has different areas of expertise. Check two things on the website: · Is the procedure listed as a separate treatment item?

Q: Does the director who consulted with you perform the surgery personally?

It may seem obvious that the surgery should be performed by the doctor you consulted with, but in reality, this can be different. Be sure to verify that the consulting doctor and the surgeon are the same. There is one more thing to consider: the number of surgeries performed per day. While a higher volume may seem better, the time and focus dedicated to each case are divided accordingly.

Q: Do you perform fat refining in-house or outsource it?

In autologous fat breast augmentation, what determines the outcome is not the amount injected, but the amount that survives. The fat undergoes three stages: harvesting, purification, and injection, and cells are damaged at each stage. In particular, you should ask where the purification process is performed. If outsourced, the cells lose their vitality due to the transportation and waiting time. During your consultation, ask: "Is the fat purification done in-house or outsourced? Who performs the purification?"

Q: What are the possible side effects in my case?

Good consultation begins by mentioning what cannot be done and what is risky. These are the items you must be explained regarding breast augmentation. Implants — Contracture, rippling, asymmetry, possibility of revision surgery. Autologous fat — Fat absorption, calcification, fat necrosis, oil cysts, possibility of additional grafting. In particular, you should be aware that with autologous fat, the desired size may not be achieved in a single procedure.

Q: How many follow-up checkups are needed after surgery, and when should I come?

Breast augmentation does not end with the surgery itself. With autologous fat grafting, recovery management is particularly crucial to the outcome. Ask the following during your consultation: "Is there a set schedule for post-operative check-ups? How are results verified (visual inspection or examination)? Is there a point of contact if any problems arise?"
