After fat transfer to the breasts, how long do I have to wait until I can lie on my stomach and get a deep tissue massage on my back, which will put pressure on my breasts? Will doing so dislodge the fat or disrupt the vascularization process? Is one month enough time to wait?
I had a fat transfer done 7 days ago, and I noticed 3 lumps in my left breast. Im very sad and discouraged about this finding because Im only one week post op. Will the lumps go away? Should I massage the area? My PS told me to massage the lumps but it causes some discomfort and Im afraid to lose the fat that was transferred in. Im slowly regretting my decision. Any advice from experienced doctors in Breast fat Transfer would be greatly greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I had a bad case of cc and got implants removed a few years ago. I have since had strattice repair to fix animation deformity. I am planning to get fat grafting to smooth everything out. I was wondering how successful FT will be given that I can feel a lot of scar tissue in my breast still. Ive been trying to massage. Is there anything else I can do?
3 weeks post op lipo fat transferred to breasts. Are these incision ready for silicone scar strips? If not, would it help to massage with scar cream? I'm paranoid with scarring as I have perfect skin, esp with one incision not closing up at all. I would like to do whatever I can to have them heal without scarring.
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.
I am petite and didn't have much fat to begin with at 110lbs, but needed the lipo to put fat in the upper pole yo my breasts. I'm left with this large dent now. Is this permanent? Dr said to massage. How often, how much pressure? Is this permanent? I also have lumps where the fat was taken from my groin and where it was injected into my breasts. I'm just concerned.
Hi! I had fat transfer done to my breasts 10 days ago and I was wondering if massaging will help the fat survive as I have read in many places that massaging the breasts increases blood flow and oxygen and makes the breasts bigger. However I also noticed that some surgeons say to not massage the breasts. I was wondering what will give the best results. Thanks!
Hi, I am 2 months 3 weeks post op having fat transfer from my arms to the breast. I developed something that looks like a mondors cord from my armpit down the inside of my arm. I have been using a handheld vibrating massage device (from just 2 weeks ago) under my armpit pressing on the cord to try loosen it. I've noticed a loss of volume of fat lately in my breast, could this be because of the vibrations coming from the device? (I havnt placed the device in my breast but the vibrations travel)
