5 Months Post Fat Transfer Infection

Still dealing with hard lumps in breasts especially in the left...right is pretty soft with just a few spots...left has a hard chunky are right behind nipple area. I massage coconut oil daily and have used an at home ultrasound unit called the Froghop box. Bought it years ago, it was suppose to help with fat/cellulite but that didn't work..lol..so I happened to remember I had it and thought it might help break down the scar tissue and possibly some fat necrosis. It helped tremendously!!

Thank you...not what I wanted. ..but I guess there's alittle something and it's partially because I've gained almost 35lbs being in Lyrica for the burning in all my extremities

Sorry for your problems. You still look really good from what you have been through. Do you know if your hard lumps are due to the fattransfer or the infection and operation?
Would you go for another fattransfer?
I have some internal scartissue in my breast too - more or less as you are describing under my right nipple. I am trying DMSO & iodide to break up the scartissue. Tried to google the ultrasound unit that helped you but cannot seem to find it - do you have a link? Thx a lot and best wishes

I think I bought that machine on Amazon years ago...I tried to find it to but couldnt. Sorry. I also went to massage therapy at twin city orthopedic to a last that massages breast cancer patients, that has helped too. I've also gone to Elements Massage and asked the lady if she's done scar tissue release and I ok'd it for her to do my chest...she knew me from previously seeing her...that's why she was OK doing it...

4 1/2 weeks post fat transfer and infection

Still have some volume, but I bet I'll lose alot more. Still have the indents unless things settle and change...not sure what to expect since I had to have 2 additional surgeries by a different plastic surgeon to clean up infection while in the hospital.

I'm glad your infection is gone ! Your breasts look good. Do you know how much fat did your doctor transfered to your breasts ? What does your doctor say about the indent ? Take care

Everything is still healing and maybe when things are all settled in it will go away but I doubt it

Did your doctor ever get in touch with you?
December 20, 2015
Not until I made an appointment with him.

Hi hunny I just wanted to say that I also had fat injection to my breasts along with the lollipop lift and less then a month after sugary my breasts still looked the same as my before pics..it was so disappointed. I Paid 11 grand and got nothing. I criedon't everyday until I went to a different surgeon who did a mini lift and breast implants..I also got flu like syptoms after the second surgery I thought I was dying. Im still not sure what caused it..it wasn't infection. But I feel great now and I absolutely love my breasts. I hope you are feeling much better and find a Surgeon that makes you happy.
