Asked By:Jenny_1986 in Long Beach, CA

I was diagnosed w/ Fat Necrosis 2 weeks post op BBL. The dr has aspirated 5 times & said there was no sign of infection. He still prescribed antibiotics just in case. I don't have pain in the area anymore but I have a small hole that keeps leaking clear/bloody. I'm now 6 weeks post op but the area is still very hard, getting super dark and still leaking. The dr wants me to go back in but I want a 2nd opinion. Does it look like fat Nerosis and is this normal progress and treatment on the problem?
