How can fat necrosis liquify and drain if I do not have any open wounds?

Dawnellie
I had a breast reduction 7 weeks ago and have a hard mass above areola about the size of a walnut. Every review I read, says to use heat and massage and it will liquify and drain. How often should I use heat and massage? And will it be able to drain if all my incisions are healed?
