Echogenic Mass after BBL - what could it have been? (Photo)

Question

So i have 2 lumps in my left buttock after a bbl in 2019. Had it drained 2x by my P.S but it never went away. He said it was a seroma? liquid that came out was yellow, like fat Or oil. Long story short, i had an ultrasound its solid now. One lump is 7cm long 5cm wide and the other's 0.8cmx1cm.i attached a photo of the drained fluid. In the report its labeled as echogenic mass. It never hurted or gave me issues. What could it have been? Who can remove it? (P.S is no longer in practice)

Would you describe it sounds very typical for fat necrosis.
Symptomatic fat necrosis is a direct reflection of poor technique.
It tends to happen when too much fat is grafted in a single area without proper stratification of the grafted material.
Solid fat necrosis can typically only be removed with direct surgical excision.
If it isn’t bothering you, then you’re probably better leaving it alone.
Echogenic mass is fancy nomenclature for a mass that can be visualized using ultrasound. Best,
