Answer가슴 지방이식 후 임신하거나 수유하면 이식한 지방은 어떻게 되나요?“A total of 70 cases (137 breasts) were included (Group A, n = 40; Group B, n = 30). Patients without lactation history were younger (Group A, 25.88 years; Group B, 36.03 years, p < 0.05) and had a significantly lower mean body mass index (Group A,19.72 kg/m2; Group B, 20.83 kg/m2, p = 0.010). … The percentage of tissue volume retained of patients with a history of lactation was significantly higher (Group A, 30.42%; Group B, 41.03%, p = 0.028). … The physiological process of lactation may influence the response to autologous fat grafting, but further studies of the mechanism are needed.”
