Asked By:Alvarezdoll61 in New York, NY

Im 4 weeks post op and have a pink hard lump on my right buttock after a bbl. Went to the ER and catscan said i had cellulitis so they gave me antibiotics in my iv and discharched me with oral antibiotics for a week. I only have two days left and it looks the same. I saw a ps two days ago and he said he cant remove any fluids bc its a mass n to just finish me meds. But What happens if the antibiotics dont work? Am i going to need a 2nd surgery?
