Expat with Fat Transfer with Dr. Hong – Expert Body Contouring Across Gangnam, Apgujeong, Cheongdam, Myeongdong, Hongdae and All of Seoul
Implant-Free, Natural Shape
Explant with fat transfer removes breast implants and restores gentle, natural fullness using your own purified fat. At Fresh Dr. Hong Clinic, the goal is soft contours, balanced symmetry, and a low-maintenance result—often with improved upper-pole shape compared to explant alone.
Why Choose Fresh Dr. Hong Clinic
- Board-certified expertise in explant, fat grafting, and revision breast surgery
- Scar-smart planning (often reusing prior incisions) and precise contour shaping
- Strategic liposuction from waist/flanks/thighs for body balancing + donor fat
- Multilingual team with interpreter support for international patients
Who’s a Good Candidate
- Want to remove implants and keep subtle volume using your own tissue
- Experiencing capsular contracture, discomfort, rupture/deflation, or prefer implant-free lifestyle
- Have adequate donor fat and realistic expectations for modest enlargement (often ~½–1 cup per session, varies by anatomy)
Procedure Overview
- Explant & Capsule Management: Remove implant(s); partial/total capsulectomy as indicated for softness and safety.
- Liposuction Harvest: Gentle, low-pressure harvest from selected areas (e.g., abdomen, flanks, thighs).
- Processing: Purification to concentrate healthy fat cells.
- Micro-Fat Grafting: Layered, multi-plane injections to sculpt upper pole, cleavage line, and overall breast contour.
- Optional Lift (Mastopexy): If skin laxity or nipple position needs correction, a lift can be combined in the same stage (case-dependent).
Anesthesia: General
Time: ~2–4 hours depending on capsule work, lift, and graft volume
Expected Volume & Graft Take
- Early fullness softens as swelling subsides; a portion of grafted fat is reabsorbed.
- Final settled volume reflects your tissue quality and aftercare; additional sessions can be planned for more fullness.
Recovery Timeline (Typical)
- Days 1–3: Soreness in chest and donor areas; support bra + compression garment for liposuction sites.
- Week 1: Light daily activity; avoid pressure on grafted breasts (no chest sleeping).
- Weeks 2–4: Gradual return to routine; avoid strenuous exercise/heavy lifting.
- Weeks 6–8: Resume full exercise if cleared; shape refines over months as fat integrates.
Benefits
- Implant-free, soft, natural feel
- Body contouring from donor areas (waist/abdomen/thighs)
- Can improve symmetry and upper-pole contour after explant
- No implant maintenance or future exchanges
Considerations & Risks
Discussed in consultation: contour irregularity, partial fat resorption, oil cysts/calcifications, asymmetry, infection, changes in sensation, need for staged sessions, and scar quality (if lift performed). Personalized imaging guidance may be provided for future breast screening.
For International Patients
Virtual pre-consultations, clear surgical itineraries, interpreter services, and transparent pricing make planning straightforward—from arrival to follow-up and safe return travel.
FAQs
Will I need a lift too?
If there’s significant laxity or low nipple position, combining a lift achieves better shape.
How much bigger can I go with fat alone?
Usually subtle to moderate enhancement per session; larger goals may require staged grafting.
What happens to the liposuction areas?
They’re contoured and typically slimmer; final shape refines as swelling resolves.
