Hard Lump 6 Weeks After Liposuction That Only Gets Bigger, Normal?
6 weeks after tummy lipo, I developed a hard lump next to my navel the size of half a ping pong ball. In 24 hours, it had more than doubled in size and became red, hot and extremely painful to touch or to move around. Went to ER and a needle was plunged in 2x and nothing came out. They said it was solid rather than fluid. What the heck is that? They gave me anti-bio and anti-inflam for 14 days. Is this normal? I'm panicking because my surgeon doesn't know what it is & wants me to massage.
