What is Calcification After a Breast Fat Transfer?

fitnessgirl
What does it mean when people say that the fat may calcify after a fat transfer? Will it be able to be seen or felt by others? In general, will the breast be misshapen? or is the concern only in mammograms?? Should I trust a cosmetic surgeon as opposed to a plastic surgeon in this procedure? And for those who know about the procedure, is it ok to exercise after the procedure since I do alot of exercise normally? I have little body fat Ive been told, about 12% or 10 pounds of it. Is this enough for 1 cup?
