Asked By:Arcanely in England, United Kingdom

Had fat transfer to outer thighs, developed an infection at site of transfer after 4 days. Sent to hospital, given IV antibiotics and discharged with oral abtibiotics. Blood cultures normal, showed mild infection. Mild fever. Diagnosed as cellulitis. Infection has reduced but am left with large golf-ball lumps under the skin. Are these abscesses or fat necrosis? Do they need to be drained?
