Trauma to fat transferred to breast 1 week post op. Is this likely to have caused damage?

December 7, 2018
Asked By:katsaysmeow

I was hit by a sliding door directly to my breast only 1 week after fat transfer. It didn’t feel super hard but was hard enough to result in a sharp pain. The area now feels numb and a little cold to the touch (while the same area on my other breast is not numb and does not feel so cold). Is this likely to have caused damage to my breast? Concerned about fat loss. I traveled out of town for my surgery so cannot ask my doctor to examine me in person and would appreciate some helps
