Cortisone Injections for Liposuction Scar Tissue Lumps

UNLUCKY DUCKY
I am a 34 year old woman 130lb. 5 wks ago I had liposuction on my neck and CO2 laser (to the underside of neck skin). It has not healed well and appears hard, lumpy, wavy and uneven. Today I saw my Dr who said that the scar tissue has hardened under the skin and he injected cortisone into it. I would like to know; how long before the cortisone works, will it work and is there anything else I can do. Thank you
