How to treat possible necrosis after liposuction? (Photo)

Asked By:alexusgs326 in Las Vegas, NV

I had liposuction 30 days ago and have since noticed a hard bulge developing in the center of my abdomen. It is approximately 3 inches in diameter and is much harder than the other abdominal tissue surrounding it. My surgeon, who is out of state, said it is a possible necrosis. What is the best way to treat this? Massage, steroid injections, excision? Is there a surgeon in Las Vegas skilled in treating this form of post op issue? The goal is to completely rid this lump.
