Question

Should i trust doctor. Said it will go down

Paul W. Papillion, MD · Answer

Hello, sorry for your misfortune. Hematomas, seromas, fat necrosis, Oil Cyst, lump of fat can all cause lumps after fat transfer... small hematomas should resolve with time. It can take several weeks/months...but your body will typically reabsorb the collection of blood and remodel the area. I would stay in close communication with your doctor and discuss your concerns. I do not think a hematoma complication alone is a reason not to trust your doctor. And always make sure to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Good Luck.

Your doctor has evaluated your breasts, and will be in the best position to advise you. Do keep your follow up visits with your doctor and follow all his/her advice.
