Can fat necrosis be removed with lipo? (Photo)

August 22, 2020
Asked By:Anonymous panda in San Diego, CA

Back in 2017 I had 2 rounds of lipo and BBL since the first BBL didn't take well. I developed a lump on the back of my right thigh and my right butt cheek is smaller than the left. Well my PCP scheduled me an ultrasound and it turned out to be a fat necrosis. The thing is, it's in a pocket of liquid not like a regular fat necrosis where it becomes hard. Liquid is just free floating in the pocket. So can I just get it lipo'd out or with like a syringe? Or does it have to be surgically removed?
