Hi Drs I've just finished 5 weeks post breast fat transfer surgery, and I decided to go for simple workout, after consulting with my dr. I did one session of fast walk for half an hour and slow swimming for 15 minutes, and some sit-ups. My workout took one hour only. After this one session I started having tingling sensation in my breast and I noticed dramatic decrease in volume Should I abstrain from further excercise?Is their a way to regain the volume? how can I stop the volume loss?
Answer: Proper care is vital for fat survival The rate of fat survival depends on grafting technique and how well the recipient area is cared for after surgery. You should consult your surgeon to make sure you adhere to his protocols. In our practice, we only recommend very, very light exercise after a few weeks. We also have strict guidelines on how to care for the recipient area after surgery assuring a high rate of fat survival.

Answer: Why did my breast size shrink suddenly after simple exercise 5 weeks after fat transfer to breast? If you noticed such a sudden change in the appearance of the fat grafted areas it likely is related to fluid shifts and changes in the degree of swelling in that particular area. I would follow your surgeon's instructions carefully but it is very unlikely that your workout has done any harm.

Answer: Fat Transfer in the Breast? Unfortunately, there can be a fair amount of swelling from the fat injection process which can take a few weeks to fully go away. On top of that, you have to take into consideration that only about 70% of the fat injected,on average, will take hold and live where injected. This process can take a few months to fully settle so you really will not know for another two months how the volume will lay out. I doubt the exercise had anything to do with the volume change. I hope this helps.
