Does massaging your fat necrosis help?

Wanzie,Massaging areas of fat necrosis works in the beginning, but not after a year.  More commonly, a firm area one year later is likely to be scar tissue (or could also be a seroma...collection of fluid).  I doubt that massaging this area now will soften it.  Ask your Plastic Surgeon about using steroid injections to help soften the area.Best of luck.Dr. T

Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well.. Not at all dear, I will recommend you to consult with your surgeon what to do next, it will be better for you to check if you're having fevers or infections, you probably will need to take antibiotics, but massages are not going to help you.

I think at a year the likelihood of improving the area with massage is very low. It is most likely scar tissue now and perhaps dilute steroids may help.
