Fat Necrosis After Breast Reduction, Lump Growing?

Although unusual fat necrosis can ultimately involve a great deal of breast tissue after reduction. The saponification process which creates the firmness may take months to fully evolve. You need to be in the care of a competent plastic surgeon.

Thank you for the question.Fat necrosis may gradually decrease in size (may even liquefy and drain)  spontaneously. Other times, resection of the unhealthy tissue is necessary. If resection is undertaken it should be done in a conservative fashion avoiding removal of surrounding healthy tissue. I hope this helps.

This seems like a very unusual condition.  Usually fat necrosis, once it occurs, is self limited.  You have gone through the right process having it biopsied.  Without an examination it is difficult to understand your problem.  An MRI scan may be diagnostic of fat necrosis.
