Soft large lump after liposuction on abdomen. What should I do? (photos)

desteny360Nov 29, 2016
It has been 2 months and 2 weeks since my tumescent liposuction procedure on belly and back and i have this huge soft lump that doesn't go away not even with 7 sets of cavitation procedures. Is not hard and soft. Not sure if its fat or not. It started to show after i stopped draining. Around 3 weeks of post op. Please help. Ive consulted with my PS and he told me to wait it out till 6 months. Of course with massages and cavitation. I am just concern cavitation isn't doing anything. Helppp
