1 year post BBL - Large hard lump on left buttocks - treatment options other than surgery for fat necrosis?

skye_isthelimit
I reached out to my PS but he has not gotten back to me yet. At 1 year post BBL, is it too late for massage to help soften and/or lessen the lump? If it can go away on it's own, how long does that usually take? Would a warm compress help in addition to the massage? The lump is somewhat tender and after my first attempt at massaging, it left behind bruising. It felt like the mass came out of the blue. The area felt sore a few weeks ago and a week later I noticed the hard mass.
