Hardness after autologous fat grafting?

Autologous fat filling is a popular plastic surgery method in recent years. No matter whether it is autologous fat filling or other plastic surgery projects, there is no perfect cosmetic surgery. Any surgery has risks, including autologous fat filling surgery with mature plastic surgery technology. If nodules appear after autologous fat filling, there are many reasons, which are related to the doctor's technique and self-repair.

The appearance of nodules or lumps after autologous fat grafting is mostly related to two reasons.

1. Too much fat is injected at one time, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the fat in the center of the injection, which leads to the formation of a nodule after autologous fat filling. 2. When performing autologous fat filling, the injection layer is shallow, which causes damage to blood vessels and muscles, causing hematoma, thus forming a hard lump.

What to do if there are nodules after autologous fat grafting

Small nodules do not require treatment

After autologous fat filling, if the nodule is only the size of a fingernail, the patient does not need to worry too much. Generally, this small nodule is the result of fat cell necrosis after autologous fat filling. After a period of time, it will be absorbed by the body and no special treatment is required.

If the nodules are severe, they need to be dissolved and removed.

If the lump that appears after autologous fat filling is relatively large and does not disappear after a period of time, you need to see a doctor and ask the doctor to dissolve the autologous fat and remove it with a special needle.

This type of nodule is usually formed after autologous fat grafting breast augmentation surgery. Because the blood supply to the chest is limited, the survival rate of fat is around 50%. Only about 200 ml of fat can be injected into each breast at a time. Excessive injection can easily cause ischemia and necrosis, forming a nodule.

How to take care of the nodules after autologous fat grafting

If a small nodule appears after autologous fat filling, it can be allowed to disappear on its own. However, if the nodule is larger than the fingernail, you must pay attention to relevant care after the operation. It is recommended to apply hot compresses frequently and use lump-removing liquid as prescribed by the doctor to relieve symptoms. Be careful not to massage the nodule area yourself to avoid fat displacement.

How to prevent nodules after autologous fat grafting

The phenomenon of nodules after autologous fat filling often occurs when doing breast filling. Because the chest has a low blood supply, it is difficult for excessively injected fat cells to survive. Therefore, to prevent the appearance of nodules, the doctor is required to have skilled injection techniques. If multi-point and multi-channel injections are performed, and the amount of injection is appropriate, then nodules can be effectively prevented after fat filling.
