Sclerosis after autologous fat filler

May 28, 2023
The parts that can be filled with autologous fat filler are mainly the face, chest, buttocks and other parts. After autologous fat filler, some surgeons will react to the phenomenon of hard lumps, so let's see what is going on and how to solve the hard lumps after autologous fat filler.

Reasons for the formation of hard lumps after autologous fat filler

The phenomenon of hard knots or hard lumps after autologous fat filler is mostly related to two reasons. 1. Too much fat is injected at one time, resulting in the fat in the center of the injection not getting sufficient blood supply, thus forming hard knots after the formation of autologous fat filler. 2. When autologous fat filling is performed, the injection level is shallow, resulting in vascular muscle damage and causing hematoma, thus forming a hard lump.

What to do if there are hard lumps after autologous fat filler

Small hard lumps do not need to be treated

After the autologous fat filler, if the hard knot is only the size of a fingernail, the patient does not need to worry too much. Generally, this kind of small hard knot is the result of fat cell necrosis after the autologous fat filler, which will be absorbed by the body after a period of time and no special treatment is needed.

Severe hard knots should be dissolved and removed

If the hard nodules appear after the autologous fat filler is larger and has not been eliminated after a period of time, then it is necessary to seek medical solution and ask the doctor to dissolve the autologous fat and remove it with a special needle. This kind of hard knot is usually formed after autologous fat filling breast augmentation, because the blood supply to the chest is limited, the survival rate of fat is about 50%, and only about 200 ml of fat can be injected into both sides of the chest at one time, so if too much is injected, it is easy to have ischemic necrosis and form hard knots.

How to take care of hard knots in autologous fat filler

If small nodules appear after autologous fat filler, you can let them subside on their own, but if the nodules are bigger than a fingernail, you should pay attention to the relevant care after the operation. It is recommended to do hot compresses frequently, follow the medical advice to use anti-blocking liquid to relieve the symptoms, and pay attention not to massage the nodules to avoid fat displacement.

How to prevent hard knots after autologous fat filler

The phenomenon of hard knots in autologous fat filling mostly occurs when doing breast filling because the amount of blood transport in the chest is small and it is difficult for the fat cells to survive if too much fat is injected, so to prevent the appearance of hard knots, doctors are required to have skilled injection skills.
