Chances of marble like balls forming in your breast after breast fat transfer? I'm concerned after watching a YouTube video of a girl who say there was a golf size lump in her breasts and so much fat that the mammogram doctor said he can't ever tell if she has breast cancer
Answer: Benign cystic changes are common after fat grafting to the breast Fat grafting to the breast is a specialized technique. The technique involved placing small amounts of fat throughout the rest. When large Lakes of this fat are grafted, some of the fat will not heal appropriately and it is common to have small cystic lumps because of this. If you see a board certified or board eligible plastic surgeon it is likely that they are skilled in this technique and the chances of having very large lumps would be lower. Radiologists skilled in reading mammograms usually do not have an issue telling the difference between these benign lumps and more worrisome changes on breast imaging.

Answer: Chances of marble like balls forming in your breast after Breast Fat Transfer? Hello @urbanfloraxo thank you for your question. Breast fat transfer or autologous fat lipoinjection is a natural volume technique that can be applied for aesthetic or restorative purposes. if this technique is not done with the expertise and skill needed it could cause fat necrosis and one of the ways it presents is this hard lumps hard and round, and in a mammogram seems like tumors. The technique of Fat transfer is used to provide symmetry and improve the body contour and therefore does not increase more than one size. An on-site or virtual consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is the best way to determine an appropriate intervention by assessing the individual characteristics of the patient breasts and goal look.
