Hello everyone, I am plastic surgeon Liu Chang, today we are going to talk about a question that many postpartum mothers are very concerned about: will there be nodules after doing autologous fat**?
First of all, we need to distinguish between breast nodules and fatty nodules. Breast nodules are a common breast disease, and their occurrence is related to hormone levels, genetic factors, environment and other factors, and its formation has nothing to do with fat**. If the breast nodule is large or has a tendency to become malignant, surgical removal is required.
In the process of fat**, there is a possibility of forming fat nodules, which are generally because part of the fat that is not alive will be engulfed and wrapped by macrophages, thus forming small fat nodules. These nodules are normal and should not be overly worried.
The appearance of nodules is related to the amount of fat injected, the level of injection, the technique of injection, etc. If the surgery is done properly and the fat injection is even, the incidence of nodules will be greatly reduced. Generally, multi-point, multi-level and small-dose filling is used to prevent fat accumulation in the local area and reserve enough space for fat to survive. If the amount of fat injected at a single point is too large, or if the layers of the injection are uneven, nodules may form.
If the nodule is obvious, it may affect the aesthetics, and liposuction or lipolysis can be used to improve it. You should also do your own nursing work on a daily basis, and try not to stay up late often.
In short, although there are certain risks associated with autologous fat surgery, the incidence of nodules can be greatly reduced as long as you choose a regular medical institution and experienced doctors for the operation, and proper postoperative care.
