Once fat necrosis occurs and is recognized, it remains stable.

I had a breast reduction in 2006. Since then I have had numerous problems with fat necrosis. How common is fat necrosis following breast reduction and what is the causes of this problem ? Also is fat necrosis painful? I also had a mammogram and ultrasound in July of 2008 with repeat films in December of 2008 which showed a increase in size of the fat necrosis in two separate areas. Any thoughts or comments on this issue. Thanks for your help.
