Injection breast augmentation is a non-surgical cosmetic method that uses fillers or autologous fat injections to improve breast volume and shape. With society's pursuit of female beauty and concerns about surgical trauma, injection breast augmentation has gradually become the choice of more and more women. Although this method is simple, non-invasive, and has a short recovery period, its applicable population and effects vary due to individual differences. Understanding which population is suitable for injection breast augmentation is crucial for patients' preoperative evaluation and expected results.
1. Basic principles and methods of breast augmentation by injection
Breast augmentation injections usually come in two forms:
Autologous fat breast augmentation : Autologous fat breast augmentation is done by extracting fat from other parts of the patient's body (such as the abdomen, thighs or buttocks), injecting it into the breast area after processing. The advantage of this method is that it avoids the side effects of exogenous fillers and can provide a more natural effect.
Injection of hyaluronic acid or other fillers : Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a common injectable filler material, widely used in beauty fields such as breast augmentation and facial shaping. This method is suitable for women with tighter breast tissue and better breast development. It can increase breast volume by supplementing injectable materials.
Both methods do not require surgery, have less trauma, and a short recovery period, but the effects are relatively short-lived and require regular re-injections.
2. People who are suitable for breast augmentation injection
1. People with incomplete breast development
For some women, incomplete breast development may be due to genetic, endocrine and other reasons. Injection breast augmentation is an effective way to solve asymmetric breast development or small size . Especially for women with normal breast development and tight chest skin, injection breast augmentation can effectively increase breast volume and achieve a natural fullness effect. Since no surgery is required, the trauma of traditional breast augmentation surgery is avoided.
2. Women with postpartum breast atrophy
Due to changes in hormone levels after childbirth, many women will experience problems such as breast atrophy and sagging. Breast augmentation by injection has a significant improvement effect on this situation , especially the use of autologous fat injection for breast augmentation, which can restore the fullness of the breasts. The fat comes from the body and is not easy to cause rejection reactions. Through fat injection, the natural shape and elasticity of the breasts can be restored, and the sagging state of the breasts after childbirth can be improved.
3. Women who seek short-term breast enhancement
For women who are unwilling to undergo traditional surgery and have a short-term need for breast augmentation, injection breast augmentation is a more ideal choice. Compared with traditional breast augmentation surgery, injection breast augmentation has less trauma, faster recovery, and rapid effects . Normal life can usually be resumed within 24 hours after the injection. For some women with short-term breast augmentation needs, injection breast augmentation can quickly meet their needs, such as weddings, important events, etc.
4. Women who refuse artificial prostheses
Many women choose breast augmentation with injections as an alternative due to their rejection or concerns about artificial prostheses. Autologous fat breast augmentation is especially suitable for women who are worried about the foreign body sensation and long-term discomfort caused by prostheses . Autologous fat injection not only does not produce rejection reactions, but the fat comes from the body itself, and the long-term effect is relatively stable.
5. Women who want natural results
Compared with surgical breast augmentation, injection breast augmentation has a more natural effect. Through injection, the breasts will not appear too hard or stiff, especially autologous fat breast augmentation, the effect is softer and more natural . Therefore, for women who pursue natural effects, injection breast augmentation is a better choice.
6. Women who are in good health and do not have serious breast diseases
Injection breast augmentation requires the patient to be in good physical health, especially women without serious diseases in the breast area. Women with breast lumps, family history of breast cancer, mastitis and other medical histories should carefully choose this operation. Injection breast augmentation puts great pressure on breast tissue and may affect breast examination and breast health. Therefore, these patients are not suitable for this operation .
3. People who are not suitable for breast augmentation injection
Although breast augmentation by injection is suitable for some women, it is not suitable for everyone. The following groups of people should carefully consider before breast augmentation by injection:
1. Patients with breast diseases
As mentioned earlier, patients with breast problems such as breast cancer, breast hyperplasia, and breast lumps should avoid undergoing injection breast augmentation surgery. Injection breast augmentation may affect the health and examination of breast tissue, especially for breast cancer patients. Breast augmentation may mask lesions and delay diagnosis of the disease .
2. Women with a history of severe allergies
Certain filling materials such as hyaluronic acid may cause allergic reactions. Women with a history of allergies to hyaluronic acid, local anesthetics or other injectable ingredients should avoid injection breast augmentation , especially autologous fat breast augmentation. Although it is autologous material, if the fat extraction process is not done properly, it may also cause unnecessary side effects.
3. Women with too little body fat
Autologous fat breast augmentation requires extracting enough fat from other parts of the body to fill the breasts. If women have less body fat, especially those who are too thin, they may not be able to provide enough fat sources , so autologous fat injection breast augmentation is not suitable.
4. Those with high expectations and unstable mental state
The effect of breast augmentation by injection is limited and lasts for a short time. Women who have too high expectations for breast augmentation or are mentally unstable may be disappointed due to the gap between expectations and actual results. Therefore, before deciding to have breast augmentation by injection, patients should adjust their reasonable expectations to avoid psychological discomfort after the operation .
4. Risks and precautions of breast augmentation injection
Although breast augmentation with injection is a relatively safe non-surgical cosmetic method, any surgery carries certain risks. Common risks include infection, swelling, congestion, allergic reactions, etc., especially autologous fat injection for breast augmentation, which may cause fat necrosis, uneven fat absorption and other problems. Therefore, when choosing this surgery, the patient needs to fully understand the possible risks and make relevant preparations before and after the operation.
Postoperative care is very important . You should avoid massaging your breasts within 24 hours after surgery and follow your doctor's care recommendations, such as avoiding strenuous exercise and keeping the breast area clean and dry.
