I had my surgery on 3/7. Necrosis set in and I had burn like wounds on my breast. The left was far worst and I almos lost my nipple. The wound on the outside took so long to heal that a second surgery was done. Fat necrosis was in the breast and very firm. Now my left breast is larger then the right.
