Breast fat grafting
Lose the fat, gain the volume: breast fat grafting
Unwanted fat is harvested from the abdomen or thighs and grafted into the breasts. You can slim down and enlarge your breasts at the same time, without the foreign-body feel that comes with implants.
- Liposuction benefit
- Fat is harvested from areas where it isn't wanted, such as the abdomen and thighs
- Fuller breasts
- Even more natural, using your own fat
When can breast fat grafting help?
Size increase
Fat is injected evenly throughout the breasts to create natural volume that suits your body shape.
Adding volume to specific areas
A small amount of fat is grafted only into areas that are hollow or uneven, smoothing them out.
Lower breast enhancement
An underfilled lower breast is filled in to create a teardrop-shaped line.
Outer breast enhancement
Filling out the outer line corrects wide-set breasts and adds fullness when seen from the front.
Correcting uneven (asymmetric) breasts
More fat is injected into the smaller side to bring the two sides into balance.
Upper breast enhancement
A hollow upper chest is filled in for a firm line that rises from just below the collarbone.
Cleavage (inner breast) enhancement
The inner breasts are filled in to narrow the gap between them and create cleavage.
Grafting after implant removal
Fat fills the space left by a removed implant, restoring the breasts naturally without a loss of volume.

How breast fat grafting is performed
01. Fat harvesting
Unwanted fat is harvested from areas with excess fat, such as the thighs or abdomen.
02. Pure fat separation
The harvested fat is spun in a special centrifuge to remove impurities, leaving only pure fat.
03. Mixing with PRP
When needed, the pure fat is mixed with PRP (growth factors from your own blood) to maximize fat survival.
04. Fat grafting
The fat is grafted naturally into the areas that need volume.
Key points of breast fat grafting
Maximum fat survival
Using PRP (growth factors from your own blood), we have dramatically increased how much of the grafted fat survives.
Ultra-fine, layered injection to reduce clumping
The fat is divided into very small particles and injected evenly, layer by layer. This helps prevent calcification and creates a natural shape.
Tiny incisions
Tiny incisions are made in hidden places, such as the armpit crease or the inner edge of the areola, so no surgical marks show even when you wear a bikini.
Slimmer body, fuller breasts
The areas where fat was removed are smoothed so they don't become lumpy. Your breasts gain volume while unwanted fat comes off, for a clear change in your body shape.
DOY JUN liposuction expertise: precise extraction of pure fat
- Real inch loss
- If the extracted material contains a high proportion of other impurities, the amount of fat actually removed is small. The more purely fat is extracted, the closer the result can come to the planned design line.
- Quick recovery
- Less damage to non-fat tissue (blood vessels and nerves) means a lower proportion of impurities. Less damage also means less bruising and swelling, so you can recover quickly.
- Safety
- Heavy blood loss can cause anemia and dizziness. Suctioning mainly pure fat reduces the strain on your body.
- Smooth body contours
- Suctioning only the fat layer helps prevent lumpiness and adhesions. The surgeon extracts the fat delicately by hand.
- High fat survival rate
- Grafted fat cells need a supply of blood and nutrients to survive. If impurities are present, the cells struggle to get nutrients and may soon disappear. Grafting pure fat means the same amount lasts longer.
