Found a Lipoma After Tumescent Lipo. Did This Cause It or Uncover It?

680517anon
Following a tumescent liposuction procedure a large (and painful!) lipoma was discovered on my abdomen. The doctor said that it was probably just a lumpy imperfection that body contouring would correct. This lump is painful. Will the massaging machine rupture it or cause more pain?
