Hello, this is Dr. Yoosuk Chung of TheLINE Plastic Surgery.
A body type of 161cm and 51kg has an overall slim and refined contour, but it is also a body type in which securing a donor source for fat grafting must be handled very precisely when considering breast surgery. In the case of this patient, who underwent a first procedure and then a second grafting session, the key to this round of sculpting was how to complete a more natural curve and softer feel on the foundation secured during the first session. Breast fat grafting is not simply an increase in volume. It is a highly sophisticated process of cellular regeneration in which your own cells carry their innate vitality and begin to breathe in a new location.
1. Ultra-fine rice-grain grafting: precision sculpting for a complete second session The first procedure had already created the basic space inside the breast where fat cells can settle. This second procedure was the work of building more three-dimensional volume on that foundation. Here I used the 'ultra-fine rice-grain grafting' technique, distributing the fat in very small, fine units layer by layer between the muscle and subcutaneous layers of the breast. When fat is injected as a lump, the cells are unlikely to receive nutrients and the take rate suffers. But when it is divided into units smaller than a grain of rice, each grafted fat cell has a wider surface in contact with surrounding tissue and can receive oxygen and nutrients from the blood vessels quickly. Combined with TheLINE's own stem cell-rich SVF liposuction technology, this helps the cells adapt to their new home as quickly as possible. Because this was a second grafting session, the key to the operation was settling the fat at a uniform density so that the previously engrafted fat and the newly injected fat blend harmoniously.

2. The aesthetics of space: what one month after surgery tells us Many people are surprised by the swelling right after surgery, but one month post-op is in fact the 'stabilization period,' when the grafted fat connects organically with the surrounding tissue and engraftment is most active. One month on, the patient's breasts have gone beyond simply becoming larger and have recovered a soft feel and movement that seem to have been hers all along. The slimmer the body type, the tighter the skin and the harder it is to secure space for grafting, but because the ultra-fine rice-grain technique placed the graft in separate layers, the skin and fat layers adhere smoothly. The natural teardrop line when standing and the slight spread that follows the body when lying down belong uniquely to autologous fat grafting and can never be reproduced with an implant. Over the course of this month the grafted fat cells have connected densely with the surrounding blood vessels, and the patient's breasts now have a far more three-dimensional and resilient shape than before.

3. Operated by Dr. Yoosuk Chung: 32 years of trust proven by results Breast fat grafting is a surgery in which a design that begins at the surgeon's fingertips is completed by the vitality of the cells. Optimizing the grafting environment through the ultra-fine rice-grain technique and placing the fat in ideal proportions to suit the anatomy of the breast depend entirely on the operating surgeon's experience. Over 32 years of performing facelifts and body contouring surgery, I have studied endlessly how human tissue responds and how it changes. Not simply filling a volume, but finding the most beautiful and safe volume within the biological limits your body has, is the proof of my 32 years of practice. Autologous fat grafting at TheLINE is a process of rebuilding your body to be most like yourself, and most graceful. One month on, the satisfaction the patient feels will only deepen as more time passes. Through this detailed sculpting performed by me, Yoosuk Chung, I hope you experience for yourself the ideal volume you have imagined. I promise you the finest result and beauty that tens of thousands of surgeries stand behind.
