Small adhesion after revision lipo. How likely is it to stay? Is there any particular treatment I can get? (photos)

Asked By:Fabulous798350 in Porto, Porto, Portugal

Hi! I had a mini abdominoplasty with lipo (upper stomach, flanks) an year ago. The results were very satisfactory, except for the upper stomach lipo that required a revision as not enough fat had been removed. The revision was successful, but 3 months after I still have a bump above the bellybutton. My surgeon said it's a small adhesion and asked to massage hard and frequently. I feel hard tissue underneath. How likely is it to stay? Is there any particular treatment i can get? Thanks!
