Would it be safe to do fat transplant to the breast while I am having a seroma removed?

October 6, 2021
Asked By:Generous50527 in Fayetteville, Arkansas

I underwent a total capsulectomy and mastopexy in January 2020. In November 2020 I found a large lump in my breast that turned out to be a seroma. I am scheduled to have the seroma removed this December 2021. Would it be safe to do fat transplant to the breast while I am having the seroma removed? Seroma placement is above the muscle. I have also considered getting very small implants back in but I do really like being implant free!
