Yes I had it. I felt a small but hard lump just a week before my expander and implant exchange. Breast cancer surgeon did ultrasound the DAY of my surgery and asked my reconstruction surgeon to remove it.

Right now, months later, I feel sore lumps in my lympth node area. My onc thinks it's fat necrosis again. She must think it's somethibg i have to live w because she didn't give me any advice to help it feel better. I see breast surgeon in July so I'll be asking her about it. Hoping she will do ultrasound to put my mind at ease.

I had this also-onco and breast surgeon gave no solutions. Plastic surgeon told me to massage and use warm compresses. It finally started breaking up and now after a year and a half is gone. Hope this helps. Take car🌹
