Hot red golf ball lump on left buttock (Photo)

August 13, 2016
Asked By:Yogalova in Dallas, TX

Hi, I had a bbl 4 weeks ago and noticed a red warm lump. It's not too painful, maybe just a little tingly sensation and I do not have fever. I noticed a slightly darker area on the skin where this lump is. Is this fat necrosis or an infection? Both of my buttocks are soft now except for this one lump on the left. Should I gently massage the area or leave it alone? I have contacted my surgeon and am awaiting a response. I am just scared that this is fat necrosis or an infection.
