Is there anything that can speed up the healing process of fat necrosis after breast reduction surgery?

shizznizz786
It’s been a month since my breast reduction surgery. Three weeks into the surgery, I noticed fluid coming out on the under breast area. There seems to be a small opening and there was some bruising or discoloration around it as well. After seeing my PS, he said it’s fat necrosis and it will heal on it’s own. Although it’s gotten slightly better since my last appt, I’ve been worried about this and was wondering if there was anything I could do or take to quicken the healing process?
