What can be done about a lumpy breast after fat grafting/revision? (Photo)

May 25, 2018
Asked By:ariesgirly in NJ

Had my second revision March 8th. He did fat grafting. Left breast had possible infection last week. It was red and burning sensation. Took Levaquin. No fever and felt better. I'm off antibiotics and now noticed a slope and a bit of lumpiness there. Its a little hard compared to right breast.Last year the same spot had a spitting stitch. I called the nurse. She said warm compresses and massage. Is this permanent? Can filler or fat be injected to smooth this out eventually? I'm self conscious.

What’s the best way to retain fat in breast after fat transfer? Protein shakes, iron supplements etc?
Tracy E. McCall, MD says:

Protein shakes and avoiding alcohol (unless in excess) are not going to help. Avoiding smoking would be helpful. Follow your surgeon's advice. They should go over this with you. The nurse in the office is also a great resource.
