Can fat necrosis from BBL be improved with massage?

Question

I have fat necrosis after way too much fat being injected to a single area during a BBL. I'm concerned that they are too big to remove without destroying the appearance, and I'm wondering if anyone has experience with massage softening these up over time? I don't want to waste my elbow grease day after day if this doesn't actually work!

I appreciate your question.

Massage does help.  Ultrasound treatments can help as well.  If it is a large area and gets hard, may need surgery to remove.  Please follow up with your surgeon so he/she can examine you at this time.

The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Best of luck!

Fat necrosis results when fat cell die off following transfer and then get calcified and feel firm; this results in removal of these fat cells by the immune system; but this takes time so you have to be patient; manual message will also help break up these areas. You should give it at least 6 months.
