How would I treat a Seroma that has turned into scar tissue on my abdomen? (photo)

On_A_Mission
I'm just about 6 wks po and have developed a seroma almost immediately after the drains were removed. The fluid was drained daily for about three weeks. Now there is no longer any fluid just a protruding hard section of scar tissue. My doctor says to continue massages and that it will go away in a few more weeks. I am not convinced that massages only would dissolve the scar tissue. What would be my other options for treatment?
