10 weeks post BBL and I think I have fat necrosis, is this dangerous? (Photos)

Super happy with my result, but noticed one small lump on the fullest part of the right cheek. I tried massage but only tolerated moderate to minimal pressure due to pain. The area progressed to a discrete, reddened area that was visible on the surface skin. I contacted my ps and was given two abx. The first photo is prior to abt. And the second is after most of the abt. Will this ruin my result? Most mentions of fat necrosis say it resolves on its own. Should I be worried?
