Dr. Guo Zhenyu:When there is the question of whether fat breast augmentation can be done for breast nodules, we need to consider the nature of breast nodules.
Recognize breast nodules
Breast nodules are a common term for palpable or abnormal masses found on imaging in the breast that can be collectively referred to as breast nodules (or breast lumps) until a qualitative diagnosis is made. The normal physiology of the breast, as well as benign and malignant breast diseases, can manifest as nodules, which means that a breast nodule is only a sign found on examination, not a definitive diagnosis of the disease.
Therefore, we need to clarify the specific situation of the nodule. If the nodule is benign and does not interfere with fat breast augmentation surgery, then surgery can be done. If the nodule is malignant, then autologous fat breast augmentation surgery is not suitable and should be prioritized**.
Does autologous fat breast augmentation have any effect on nodules?
Breast augmentation surgery with autologous fat is performed by extracting fat from other parts of the body, processing it, and injecting it into the chest to increase the volume of the breasts.
Well, the level of fat injection may vary from doctor to doctor. In general, the layers of fat filler I fill are mainly the subcutaneous fat layer and the posterior mammary space, and sometimes the posterior layer of the pectoralis major muscle is added. There is no way to fill the fat in the breast tissue, because its texture is a bit like the "beef tendon" we eat every day, and it can't be punched into it at all.
Therefore, breast augmentation with autologous fat will not harm the mammary glands, cause breast nodules or affect breast health, and will not cause breast nodules to worsen.
