Fat necrosis. Draining fat. Will one buttock be bigger than the other? (Photo)

. Started off as a soft painful lump that eventually opened and started to drain fat, then blood then fat again. I'm worried it's going to leave a drastic difference in my results. Will one buttock be bigger then the other? Also the holes in the area seem to be getting bigger, will this open up to one huge hole and if so what happens after that? I'm starting to get extremely nervous. My Dr put me on 2 antibiotics As a precaution (no infection) ... when will this stop draining and begin to heal?

Look for a different primary care doctor under your insurance or sometimes in young patients like yourself, your OBGYN may be willing to since he/she is likely the only doctor that you see on a regular basis if you are healthy.

Thanks for the great question! Things should start to soften up around 2-4 weeks and will continue to get softer after that. The transferred cells tend to cause a lot of inflammation and swelling right after surgery.  Hang in there, it will get soft! Congratulations on your surgery! ~Dr. Sieber

Hello dear!!Thanks for the question and provided information as well.I recommend you to stop all kind of medications and supplements at least 2 months before surgery. Usually medications for weight loss are dangerous and unbalance the body health.Make sure you choose a board certified plastic...
