가슴지방이식 부작용
I can feel a lump in my breast. Is it okay?
Most are fat necrosis or oil cysts, but they must be confirmed with imaging tests.
If a large amount is injected into a single spot, blood vessels may not reach the center, causing partial necrosis and leaving the site as an oil sac or a hard lump. It is usually distinguishable by ultrasound.
Limit Do not judge for yourself. A palpable lump could be a sign of a breast condition. Even if you have a history of fat grafting, you must continue to receive regular checkups.
Does fat grafting interfere with breast cancer screenings?
The examination itself is possible. However, You must disclose your history of fat grafting. The reading becomes accurate.
Calcifications that form after transplantation are visible on mammograms, but benign calcifications differ in appearance from malignant ones. It becomes easier for a radiologist to distinguish them if they know the patient's history.
Limit Concealing your medical history may lead to unnecessary additional tests or biopsies. Please inform us of the timing and site of your surgery before the examination.
If calcification occurs, should it be removed?
In most cases, we just leave it alone and monitor the progress. Additional tests may be performed depending on the appearance.
Calcifications that occur after fat necrosis are usually round and well-defined, in a benign form.
Limit Irregularly shaped or finely scattered calcifications require identification of other causes. Diagnosis is made through image analysis.
What happens if I put in too much?
If you inject too much at once, graft survival actually decreases and the risk of necrosis increases.
Transplanted fat requires blood vessels to grow in from surrounding tissues to survive. If a single mass is too large, blood flow cannot reach the center. Therefore... Divided into several layers and in small amounts Insert.
Limit The amount of cc possible at one time depends on body type, skin elasticity, and existing tissue. It is dangerous to determine the number first and then adjust accordingly.
Can the left and right sides be different?
Left and right are naturally different. Aiming for perfect symmetry actually makes it look awkward.
Most people have different volumes and positions on the left and right sides even before surgery. Therefore, rather than injecting the same amount... Designed differently to make the results look the samedo.
Limit Graft survival rates may differ between the left and right sides, so differences may be observed during the course of the process. The final assessment is made at the point of stability (after 6 months).
What are some serious complications?
Although rare, infections, hematomas, and fat embolisms are reported. There is a possibility with all medical procedures.
Infection and hematoma occur early after surgery and are usually treated if detected early. Fat embolism is very rare but is reported as a serious complication.
Limit The frequency varies depending on the surgical method, injection volume, and operator skill level, so it cannot be provided as a uniform figure. Please receive an explanation tailored to your specific conditions during the pre-operative consultation.
