I Had Vaser Lipo and Fat Transfer to the Butt - Lumps Won't Dissolve

1162
About 7 weeks ago I had lipo and fat transfer to my buttock. It was great at first then a huge lump formed and I could hardly walk. I was put on steroids that didnt work then on antibiotics. I was then hospitalized for cellulitis and an abcess. The abcess was drained and I am feeling better physically but I still have a really big hard lump on my butt. My surgeon keeps telling me to give it more time and just to add heat compress. I think he is just giving me the run around. What should I do.
