Breast fat transfer surgery is not as common as BAs so it took me some time to go on forums and find girls with natural results. I found about 3, got the clinics' name off of them, and went in to have consultations. I won't name names but basically, one clinic pushed the price up to 10 million KRW once they added in stem cells (which is necessary for a high percentage of fat retention); another clinic wanted to cut at my armpits and my breasts to put in the fats (why?! Why the pits?! I'm not doing a BA!); and so I settled on Fresh since,
1. Reasonable price for fat transfer, PRP, and stem cells (I think it was around 3.5 - 4 million KRW for the first round, second round onwards was a bit lesser than 3 million, probably 2.8 or something.)
2. You only have a dot for a scar beside your breasts.
3. The clinic specialises in removing calcifications which results from botched breast fat transfer surgeries in other clinics.
4. The girl I found on the forums had a fantastic look (well, all 3 girls did anyway)!
I went for my first round in 2019 February with fats taken from my thighs. I went from 79cm to about 83cm - 84cm (depending on my period). You don't need to wear a support bra, unlike normal BAs, and your breasts heal very fast. I think it's probably because there's no foreign material inside you, so you just get some bruising which heals within 2 weeks. There's no pain too, in fact, all of your pain comes from the lipo area.
I had a really difficult time with thigh lipo, not sure if it was just me. I work in an office and that translates into long hours of sitting. It was impossible to stand up and walk normally for about 2 - 3 weeks - the blood rushes down and you can't move your legs, and you end up waddling for 10 seconds because of the tightness. The bruising was really bad too - it lasted for at least 5 months and I was worried about discolouration.
In any case, for my breasts, I loved my results but I wanted more! And so, it was second round for me in 2020 April, and I'm hovering at 87cm now, again depending on my period, it can dropped to about 86cm and swell to 88cm. This time I took fats from my waist, which imo, is the best! I walked at literally a snail's pace for about 4 days before I'm back to walking like normal! Bruising was gone within 2 - 3 weeks.
Regarding the fat absorption, I would say mine was very minimal. Even after a year from my first round of surgery, there were no changes in size. I think the most important thing is to eat 3 full meals a day after surgery for about a month, and I made sure to eat all the foods that were supposedly good for breast growth like soy milk, papaya, prawns, even drinking fenugreek water and eating fenugreek seeds (one teaspoon of fenugreek seeds in boiling water, leave for a few hours for the seeds to soften up, drink water, and put the leftover fenugreek seeds in yoghurt to eat). Apparently the 10th day - a month is the deciding time for fat retention so it's best to not go on a diet. Even after that, it's not recommended to go on a -10kg or something since it can affect your new breasts.
Overall, I would say I'm extremely satisfied with the surgery and Doctor Hong's skills! The manager in charge of me took care of me very well too; the only reason why I've dropped a star is because I did find the receptionists a bit intimidating... but breast-wise, very happy! Who knows I may get greedy again and go for another round? :)

You're lucky to have such great results :) I think maybe try to be happy with what you have, since every surgery is risky and you'll be devastated if something goes wrong... fat necrosis, asymmetry, bumpy lipo areas... You will really regret it. You look amazing
