What should I do if a fat necrosis lump has lasted over 2 years?
onlykindaworriedFeb 4, 2019
I had a breast reduction in July of 2016 and not long after surgery noticed a hard lump and was informed by my doctor that it was fat necrosis. I massaged it regularly as instructed but, while it has gotten smaller over the past two and a half years, it has by no means gone away. After this long should I go to another doctor about getting some sort of removal or should I continue hoping it will just go away on its own
