Extreme discomfort, possible fat necrosis & oil cyst in breast after fat transfer, options?

December 10, 2022
Asked By:Mecha23 in Jackson Township, New Jersey

I got breast implants 13 years ago. My breast were very painful a few months afterward, especially my left breast. It felt as if a nerve was being compressed and as if my body was fighting a foreign invader. I had the implants removed around 4 years later with fat grafted to the breast. Now there are hard lumps that are very painful. I feel like a heavy object is compressing my chest making it diffucult to breathe. Im unable to contact the surgeon who did the fat tranfer. What are my options?
