Should I be worried about breast calcifications after fat transfer?

hello friedchickenislove  Fat grafting is a generally safe procedure with few problems. Loss of volume after the procedure or increased volume with weight gain. Fat necrosis which can result in cysts, scar tissue, calcifications, lumps. Infection is very rare. About 50% of fat grafted cells will remain as living fat cells with Natural Breast Augmentation. When PRP (platelet rich plasma) is added, this may increase the survival of the fat cells. #flat #calcification

Hello Friedchickenislove-Below are the recommendations from The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, to which (I believe), 90-95% of board certified surgeons are members:ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - A breast augmentation procedure in which fat from other parts of the body is transferred to the breasts causes can cause false suspicion of breast cancer on follow-up mammograms, according to a study in the April issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
The mammographic changes occurring after fat injection are indistinguishable from abnormalities associated with breast cancer, according to the study by Dr. Cong-Feng Wang of Meitan General Hospital, Beijing. Based on this "mammographic confusion," the authors conclude that the use of autologous fat injection for breast augmentation should be "prohibited continuously."Ho9pe this helps objectivity regarding this question.

Calcifications are a possibility with any fat transfer, but is low on the list. More commonly seen are oil cysts. These calcifications, however, do appear differently on X-Rays from calcifications of breast cancer. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon and discussing all your concerns and options.
