What can I do to get rid of lumps in the breasts after a fat transfer?

Luv_p
I had 500cc & 550cc transferred into my breasts 90 days ago. First breasts were extremely hard and gradually soften, then dropped over time. However hard lumps are everywhere outer side of the breasts (under the armpits) some are the size of tangerine, a coin size and some as small as zits. What can I do to get rid of them. My doc said to wait and see for another 90 days if not better, he will drain with a needle, but I read and found that the size l have, can’t be done.
