I am 3 months post fat graft removal by excision. However, I now have some hard lump in the area where fat used to be. Should I get steroid or 5-FU on this lump to help the remaining protrusion? Does anybody know a doctor in LA who specializes in this?

Answer: Many different causes for hard lump This may be residiual fat necrosis or a resorbing hematoma or other source of fibrosis. Of course it could be a variety of other cuases. I would consider starting with intralesional steroids such as triamciniolone as an initial step. However, I am certain that your surgeon is familar with this option and may not want to use this for a specific reason
