What To Expect From Breast Fat Transfer 1 Year Later?

After one year, the results of breast fat transfer treatment are generally stable. The transferred fat becomes a permanent part of your breasts, providing natural-looking volume and shape.

Some degree of fat may melt down over time, leading to subtle changes in breast size and shape. This is normal, as not all transferred fat cells survive in their new place.

Let’s learn about how the results might look and what gradual improvements to look forward to.

Results And Improvements From Breast Fat Transfer 1 Year Later.

One year post-treatment, the transferred fat integrates well enough with the existing breast tissues giving natural results. Although it does increase the size of your breasts, they might still sag because the procedure doesn’t involve using silicon implants to make them firm.

In addition to increased volume, you might notice improvements in skin texture and quality due to the increased collagen production.

Unlike synthetic implants, breast fat transfer offers long-lasting results. The transferred fat becomes a permanent part of the breasts, ensuring you sustain the look and shape without the need for frequent touch-ups or replacements.

Here is a short overview of what side effects you might experience from breast fat transfer 1 year later.

Side Effects:

Scars

While scars from fat transfer procedures are usually minimal, they might still be visible after a year. Use scar creams to help fade them over time.

Calcification

Another concern is the development of calcifications within the breast tissue. Although calcification is often harmless, it can sometimes look like lesions on mammograms, leading to unnecessary anxiety and further medical concerns.

Oil Cysts

Oil cysts, formed from the injected fat, may develop in the breasts following the procedure. While small cysts typically resolve on their own, larger ones may necessitate drainage or surgical intervention.

Fat Necrosis

It occurs when the transferred fat cells do not receive an adequate blood supply, leading to tissue damage and the formation of firm lumps in the breasts. Necrosis can eventually cause discomfort and need medical attention.

Sensation Changes

Some women may experience changes in nipple sensation, like increased sensitivity or numbness, even after a year. It’s usually temporary but if it persists then consult your doctor.

Moving on, let’s know more about guidelines you need to follow, to help maintain your post-treatment results.

Post-Treatment Guidelines

Regular Self-Observations:

You have to regularly monitor for any changes in your breasts’ appearance or texture. Familiarize yourself with the normal look and feel of your breasts to detect any abnormalities promptly.

Protect Your Skin:

Avoid excessive sun exposure, if necessary apply sunscreen or wear protective clothing when outdoors. Prolonged sun exposure can lead to premature aging of the skin and may affect the appearance of your breast tissue over time.

Maintain Healthy Lifestyle:

Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy, balanced diet rich in nutrients to support your body’s healing process. Avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages, as they can interfere with healing and increase swelling.

Wear Supportive Bras:

It’s recommended that you use supportive bras to provide adequate lift and comfort for your enhanced breasts. Proper support helps maintain the shape and integrity of your breast tissue and can reduce any discomfort during physical activities.
