*Patient Complaints/Complications:*
Many patients report that fat grafting did not meet their expectations, experiencing complications such as lumps of dead fat, fat necrosis, oil cysts, fat nodules, and acute or chronic pain.

*Increased Anxiety/Medical Testing:*
These palpable lumps cause significant concern over potential masses or breast cancer. As a result, patients often require anxiety-inducing follow-up procedures, such as mammograms, ultrasounds, MRIs, or unnecessary biopsies.

*Strong Opposition to the Procedure:*
Despite sounding appealing because it uses the patient's own tissue and offers the benefit of liposuction, the speaker considers fat grafting to be bad medicine and strictly does not recommend it due to the potential harm and distress it causes.

**Comprehensive Exams Are Essential: Breast cancer detection relies on self-breast exams, evaluations by an OB/GYN, and check-ups with a primary care provider to ensure nothing is missed.

**Imaging Complements Exams** Physical examinations are critical when combined with radiographic imaging such as mammograms, ultrasounds, and MRIs as directed by a breast center.

**Value of a Breast Center**
A dedicated breast center provides coordinated care under one roof, including a specialized team of medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, plastic surgeons, and pathologists focused exclusively on breast masses.

**BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 Gene Testing:**

* A candidate for genetic testing includes anyone with a close or immediate family member affected by breast, uterine, or ovarian cancer.
* Carrying the BRCA gene gives an individual an estimated 60% to 80% risk of developing breast cancer.
* Genetic testing is non-experimental and typically covered by insurance when referred by a geneticist.
* Some patients who test positive for the gene choose to undergo a prophylactic bilateral mastectomy (removing breast tissue on both sides) followed by breast reconstruction with implants.

**Methods of Breast Cancer Screening:**

**Imaging:** Uses mammograms, ultrasounds (noting that an ultrasound is not a replacement for a mammogram), contrast-enhanced MRIs, and biopsies.
**Genetic Evaluation:** Screening based on family history for BRCA 1, BRCA 2, and other affiliated genes.
**Monthly Self-Exams:** Identified as the most common way to detect breast cancer early.

**Evaluation of Breast Masses:**

* Any patient—male or female—presenting with a mass in the chest or breast must be evaluated, treating it as potential breast cancer until proven otherwise.
* Common non-cancerous causes of masses include cysts, benign tumors, or clogged ducts, which are evaluated at breast centers using tools like core needle biopsies.

Fat grafting Q & A Session

Shaher W. Khan, MD
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

10/09/2026

I never heard of Breast Implant Illness. I never had implants, so I wasn’t ever concerned, but I have been hearing more about it from women in my community who have had it and have *explants*. Again, another word I never heard of before.

What they tell me is that they’ve gone down all the rabbit holes for their fatigue, joint pain, brain fog and weight gain. They’ve tried diets, exercise, optimizing sleep, managing stress, hormones, mold and heavy metal testing…until they realize that maybe their symptoms are from BII.

So I hunted down Dr. Shaher Khan who breaks down breast implant illness, what it is, why it’s so often confused with menopause, and what the FDA warning says that most women were never told before going under the knife.

Comment “431” and I’ll send you the full episode 💛
