Small lump under skin of reconstructed breasts
Breast Cancer | Last Active: May 28 5:34pm | Replies (10)Comment receiving replies
In April 22 I had a partial mastectomy and at the same time breast reconstruction/reduction on both breasts.
The surgeries were successful but I had fat necrosis in both breasts. the right breast originally had a walnut sized lump which has resolved now.
(Yes, it was painful to the touch. Surgeon recommended warm compresses and my massage of the tissue. )
The left breast had 5 or 6 marble sized necroses. Some of them are now smaller but one or 2 are still big; they still hurt. I just ignore them .
I had my 1 year mammogram and no cancer was present. I hope they will go away over time.
Best wishes as you perdue answers and help.

I had the same thing and it finally did resolve almost two years later. I didn’t get a really good response from my onco or breast surgeon but, my plastic surgeon, who did my reconstruction, explained it all and told me to massage it. Thank goodness for him! Hope all goes well for you🌹
