My upper breast is a little flat so I'm thinking about getting fat transfer. But should I be worried about calcifications in breast?
Answer: Breast fat transfer: worried about calcification 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

Answer: Fat Transfer to the Breast I wouldn't be concerned about calcifications since they aren't typically clinically problematic and are easily identified during future radiologic work up.

Answer: Should I be worried about breast calcifications after fat transfer? I am not sure that the data has been collected on rate of calcification, and then the issue becomes whether that is clinically significant. The calcifications can be delineated from those for malignancy.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Should I be worried about breast calcifications after fat transfer? Good question. Calcifications are certainly possible after breast fat grafting. Research shows that they can be distinguished from cancerous calcifications by current imaging techniques. Be sure to inform the radiologist/your primary care doctor that you've had this surgery so that they are aware of this.
