Large nodules after SculpSure 10 months post-treatment

Question

I received 3 Sculpsure treatments on the back of my legs from a reputable plastic surgeon's office. The last treatment was 10 months ago. I developed two large nodules on one leg. I followed the post treatment protocol perfectly, massaging the area twice a day. I've tied ultrasound, massage, red light therapy and even lymphatic massage to get rid of the nodules and nothing has helped. I eat healthy, drink plenty of water, workout and am at my ideal body weight. What other treatments can I try?

It's difficult to answer without photos or a better descriptions of the nodules.Are they the same size, did they change at all during these 10 months. Are they painful?
Nodules after Sculpture are generally indicative of a high inflammatory state which is a good sign when you are trying to remove fat. In our practice, any patient who developed them , they were usually gone within 1 month, in a few cases upto 6 months. I suggest you discuss this with your doctor, either wait more for a full year or if they are visible and really bother you, a little steroid injection or a topical steroid might do the trick . Exosomes or PRP injections too.
