Hard mass on inner thigh 9 months post liposuction, could it be necrosis? (Photos)

Dear Loving540136,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

I hear your concerns. It's hard to tell what it is just based on the pictures alone. What did the US and CT scan show? I would consult a plastic surgeon with those images and results so they can discuss the treatment options.

Phots posted are very hard to tell exactly what is going on. Best to virtual but also obtain ultrasound of that inner thigh to rule out seroma vs fat necrosis. Most likely excision or lipo area. Fee $5,000.

This is unusual and because of that it needs to be worked up thoroughly.
Liposuction results are final at three months after surgery and then that point there should be no significant changes except the color of the incisions
Redness with warmth in the cage and inflammation and this may represent an infection.
Typical bacterial infections present early after surgery but there are unusual infections that behave differently. I suggest getting an evaluation by an infectious disease specialist. A definitive diagnosis may require a biopsy or at least taking tissue cultures. Any tissue that would’ve died (necrosis) from liposuction would have been resolved by now.
This could by a mycobacterium type of infection and should be evaluated by infectious disease doctor.
What doctors have you seen? What have they said this is?
Best,
