Few tender spots after breast fat transfer, 6 months post op - should I be worried?

I would suggest going back to your surgeon and being examined just to make sure. An ultrasound can also be done if needed.

Dear cime545,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

It’s a little hard to say without an examination and knowing your history. Some women have tender breasts as a baseline. does the tenderness change during the monthly cycle? can you feel the hard lump on the areas where it’s tender? If so it may represent fat necrosis or an oil cyst. Most patients should be back to normal with no postoperative tenderness at six months but breasts can simply be tender as a baseline so it’s hard to say.

I recommend you follow up with your provider.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD
