I had fat harvested from my stomach and moved to my breasts. After the surgery I developed hard dents and ridges across my stomach, especially where my stomach folds when I sit. It's been 3 months now and nothing has changed even when I massage it constantly, worried it's permanent tissue damage. These aren't fat lumps or irregularities after liposuction, they are rock hard and painful (ripping sensation) when I stretch the skin at all. I'm so scared this is permanent- how can it be fixed?
