I had fat grafting 7 weeks ago, the bruising was minimal and everything seemed fine, had the usual discomfort in the donor area but nothing major. 2 weeks on I developed pain in my sternum, shoulder and breast area which is severe and really getting me down, it is now 7 weeks since the fat grafting and I am still suffering! I just don’t understand it, I am seeing my surgeon on Tuesday about it but am wondering if I am the only one this has happened to! The pain feels muscular but it’s really impeding on my life. Prior to the fat grafting I was at the gym regularly, I now can’t turn over in bed without being in severe pain. is anyone in the same boat?
