After a mastectomy,I have very hard fat deposits around the reconstructed breast. It's comun; it's dangerous? |
I had a mastectomy and tummy tuck, at the same time and very soon I noticed hardeness around the breast. The doctor says that he has to re-shape the breast (it's kind of flat) with another surgery. It's planned to take effect in about 3 month, and he says that all the hardeness around the reconstructed breast is fat and it's nothing to worry about. I heard of "fat necrosis", but he says to me that he will see if the fat bleeds when he pinches it, means it's not death, and can be used for the re-shape. I think that if the fat is death It will be difficult to pull it out and also the breast will look a lot smaller. He wants to minimize the other breast for "symetry", but I think I wont' like to "disturbe" the good breast. After all I may have to use a pad in the operated breast to fill that side side of the bra. Can somebody give me an opinion? Yes, some hardness can be expected afterward for a time in part because of the swelling. I would definitely get back in touch with the surgeon to let him know that you really are concerned about this hard fat deposit and want to know how long it will be there for because of how much this concerns you. |
