Hi. I’m getting a fat transfer to my breast, but I have to be on steroids during the surgery and after. Does the steroid affect the survival of the fat that’s being transferred ?

Dear SnowLeopard2468,
most surgeons would recommend you to wait until you are fully healed. Every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your inquiry! Fat transfer can be used to add volume to areas of the body. We would love to meet with you to discuss your options. Schedule a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
Thank you for your query. Your Radiologist and Plastic surgeon can check the lumps out, although the images look more in favour of seromas. A fine needle aspiration under ultrasound guidance can clarify the situation. All the best!
