I am a model and I received Lipossucion Jan 2011 for Breast Enhancement.I noticed a loss of tonus after.It has degenerated over time and I am now with a huge problem of cellulite all over my legs,thighs,belly and I have a hard lump over the inguinal lymph nodes.Echography there shows a Subcutaneous Infiltration.Pubic area is heavily swollen for the last 2 1/2 months.I was told that lipo causes scar tissues subcutaneously therefore causing water retention.What can I do to repair this damage asap?
