How can I fix this fibrosis after liposuction? (Photo)

Question

I had liposuction 360 5 months and a few days ago. I wasnt told about massages until a few weeks after so i only received about 8 and they were all spread out within 4 months. The closest place they do massages is 2 hours away so its hard for me to go often. I now have alot of fibrosis on my stomach. Is this fixable at this point? Or should i look into a fat transfer to my abdomen area as a fibrosis treatment?

Hello,You should visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons who specialize in body contouring and who can assess whether revision liposuction or an abdominoplasty is most appropriate for you. Best of luck!

massages now wont help these needed to have been done immediatley. you can try RF treatments like legacy, exilis with cellutone or z wave but likely you will need a revision surgery.  Please see an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear vivansoto33,I would have to examine you but it appears that this is a contour irregularity after liposuction.  This happens often when areas the undergo liposuction are not feathered appropriately. The good news is that it can be fixed and I have done so with good results before. While there is always a chance for contour irregularities with liposuction, someone who takes their time and uses the appropriate sized cannulas should give you a superb result.I have all my patients wear compression garments and I use multiple sized cannulas to feather out the result.Daniel Barrett, MD

A hand massage won't help- you can try some energy-based devices like Z-wave or Cellactor, or some Venus Legacy, Thermage in the area but most likely you need to request a second revision surgery.

Sorry for your problem which probably is a combination of laxity and irregular areas of fat removal.  So go on some complimentary consultations with experts and be evaluated in person and compare recommendations and find out what can be done to correct the problemDr Corbin
