What should I do if my breasts become hard three years after autologous breast augmentation?

　　Autologous breast augmentation usually refers to autologous fat breast augmentation. Autologous fat breast augmentation involves transplanting and injecting excess fat cells from other parts of the body into the chest area, allowing the fat cells to regrow and integrate with the existing breast tissue, thus enhancing and shaping the breasts. The general reference price for autologous fat breast augmentation is 10,000-30,000 yuan per session, with noticeable improvement typically visible after 2-3 months. However, possible complications include fat liquefaction and uneven chest contours. In general, hardening of the breasts three years after autologous breast augmentation may be caused by improper postoperative care, inflammatory infection, mammary gland hyperplasia, surgical complications, or fat calcification. It is recommended to visit a formal hospital and improve the condition under a doctor's guidance through general treatment, medication, surgical treatment, and other methods. Detailed analysis is as follows:

　　1. Improper postoperative care: Failure to follow the doctor's advice for postoperative care, such as excessive massage or strenuous exercise, may cause chest hardening. It is important to follow the doctor's postoperative care instructions and avoid improper actions that may lead to chest hardening.

　　2. Inflammatory infection: Postoperative inflammatory reactions may lead to the formation of hard nodules, usually accompanied by mild symptoms such as redness and swelling. Symptoms can be relieved through massage and warm compresses, and anti-inflammatory medications like Roxithromycin Tablets, Azithromycin Capsules, and Minocycline Hydrochloride Capsules may be taken as directed by a physician to reduce the inflammatory response.

　　3. Mammary gland hyperplasia: Although autologous fat breast augmentation itself does not cause mammary gland hyperplasia, postoperative changes in hormone levels in the body may stimulate mammary tissue hyperplasia, resulting in hard nodules, often accompanied by symptoms such as redness and pain. Medications such as Rupixiao Capsules, Xiaoyao Pills, and Hongjin Xiaojie Tablets may be used for treatment as directed by a physician.

　　4. Surgical complications: Uneven fat cell transplantation or lump formation may be accompanied by symptoms such as pain, redness, and swelling, and may also result in chest hardening. Improvement can be achieved through corrective surgery, and postoperative care should be properly conducted to avoid excessive activity or impact.

　　5. Fat calcification: Transplanted fat cells may calcify under certain conditions, forming hard nodules that feel stiff upon touch. If the calcified nodules are small and asymptomatic, regular observation may suffice; if the nodules are large or accompanied by pain and other symptoms, surgical excision via mastectomy may be necessary.

　　Adequate rest should be ensured during the recovery period, and tight-fitting undergarments should be avoided to prevent compression of the chest area, which could affect the results of autologous fat breast augmentation.
