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?
Answer: Fat calcification Fat calcification is a sign of fat death and loss. As fat cells dies, they are replaced by calcification. It is important to go to a surgeon who has experience with fat grafting since this procedure is very much surgeon and technique-dependent. I would personally recommend a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who has experience with fat grafting.

Answer: Fat death with calcification following injection and confusion with mammograms and cancer detection The sign of a cancer on a mammogram is a calcification. The pattern of the calcification is very important. A powdery appearance in a star like pattern is very suspicious. When fat dies it generally causes calcifications win the form of large flakes. Usually they can be distinguished from the calcifications of cancer with the former being called macro-calcifications and the latter termed micro-calclifications.

Answer: Fat transfer to breast Fat transfer to the breast for cosmetic reasons is still under study and subject of major contraversy. There are still many questions to be answered before adopting the procedure. I have seen some results done in Europe which were suboptimal.
