Big breast lumps after breast lift and fat transfer

April 15, 2024
Asked By:Charming669067 in San Diego, California

Hello, I had breast reduction on one of my breasts, breast lift on both, and fat transfer to both back in April 2023. In February 2024, I had a revision breasts lift with the same surgeon. Before the revision, I noticed a hard lump in my right breast at 2 o’clock and the same in my left breast at 10 o’clock but they were small. 2 months after the revision surgery, the lumps have grown significantly.Ultrasound showed fluid Collec and both are 5cm*4cm*3cm and suggest fat necrosis. Should I do FNA?
