Will Large Lumps 11 Weeks After Fat Transplant to Breasts Resolve? If Not, What Are the Options?

February 21, 2013
Asked By:TrudeNorway1975 in Oslo norway

Dec 6th 2012 I had liposuction of ancles, calves, knees and thighs, with 1240 ml fat removed. 400 ml fat was then transfered to each breast. I had 1cm incisions below breasts as well as multiple injection sites in upper regions when I woke up, and the pain in my breasts was severe and lasted 3 weeks. After 4 weeks I felt a large 5 cm lump on the upper/outer side of the the left breast, plus other smaller lumps in both breasts. This is still unchanged after 11 weeks. Is it likely to resolve?
