Is there any hard lump in the breast augmentation with autologous fat?

Flat chest will make the whole person look like a fake kid, wearing any clothes are student clothes, so many girls choose autologous fat breast augmentation to reshape firm breasts, but are very worried about the safety risks of autologous fat breast augmentation, and the network is often said that there are hard lumps in the chest after surgery. So is self-fat breast augmentation dangerous or not? Will there be hard lumps after surgery?

The principle of autologous fat breast augmentation

The principle of autologous fat breast augmentation is that the excess fat cells from other parts of the body are transplanted and injected into the breasts, and the fat cells are re-grown by the surrounding tissues and fused with their own breast tissues to make the breasts full and shapely. After the fat cells are injected, the reconstruction of blood supply is the key to survival, and the amount of fat injected at each point must be controlled, otherwise the effect of the surgery will be greatly reduced.

Is autologous fat breast augmentation dangerous?

There are safety risks, and the more fat is transplanted the greater the risk. After transplantation, some fat may calcify or form cysts, hard lumps and other sequelae, and the more the amount of transplanted fat, the higher the probability of sequelae. In addition, the surgical instruments are not sterilized in place, and infection may occur during the fat removal to implantation process.

Is there any hard lump in the breast augmentation with autologous fat?

Hard lumps may occur with a large amount of implantation The survival rate of fat is higher when a small amount of fat is injected into the body each time. However, if a large amount of fat is transplanted, only part of the transplanted fat can survive on the surrounding tissues because the microvessels in the chest cannot supply too many fat cells with metabolic nutrients at one time, while other fat that cannot get nutrients will be absorbed and metabolized by the body, which will cause fat necrosis and lead to inflammation and pus, fibrosis or calcification, and lesions, thus hard lumps may appear in breast augmentation.

How to do if there are hard lumps after breast augmentation with autologous fat

If the hard lump is small or the fat injection time is long, the fat tissue here has been completely liquefied, and the syringe can achieve the purpose of eliminating the hard lump by percutaneous aspiration. The possibility of natural softening of hard lumps is very small, so if it does not affect the feeling, you can leave it alone for the time being, but if the hard lumps are serious, they can only be removed surgically.

What are the other hazards of autologous breast augmentation?

Infection

If the sterilization of autologous breast augmentation surgery is not strict, if there is contamination during liposuction, fat rinsing or fat injection, if there is no treatment with medicine when rinsing fat, or if there is chronic local inflammation in the donor area, recipient area, etc., which is not detected before surgery, it may lead to inflammatory infection after surgery.

Fat calcification

Injecting too many inactivated fat cells or injecting fat unevenly, injecting too much fat at the same level and in the same area, the fat fails to make extensive contact with the graft bed and collects into lumps by itself, which may cause fat calcification to form fiber nodules and hard lumps in the chest after autologous fat augmentation.

Bleeding

During the procedure of autologous fat breast augmentation, due to the injury of small blood vessels in the breast during injection or the obstacle of coagulation mechanism of the patient, improper pressure bandage after autologous fat breast augmentation, etc., it may cause hemorrhage.

Poor breast augmentation results

Those with excessively flat breasts have poor microvascular circulation, and if the number of single fat transfer is too much, the low survival rate of fat cells may lead to unsuccessful breast augmentation.
