How does the fat necrosis go away? Does this develop cancer later on in life?

Fat necrosis is usually usually presents as a nodule that is painful.  These lesions often self resolve.  Resistant nodules can be treated by injecting steroid solutions into the nodule or even excisional removal.  Although rare, these nodules can calcify and become permanent.   Thankfully, there is no long term issue with these lesions.  Follow up with your surgeon to be evaluated for possible treatment.

Hi, Thank you for your question. I would advise that you call your plastic surgeon and set up a time to follow up with him or her. It is hard to tell what is really going on without seeing you in person.

Thanks for your inquiry, but without an exam it is hard to advise.  I suggest you discuss your concern the surgeon who performed the liposuction.
