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.

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