Scar tissue after Lipo. What can I do about it?

Question

I have scar tissue forming on my abdomen after my lipo. what can I do about it?

Gregory DeLange, MD · Answer

Scar tissue usually resolves on its own in about 3-6 months. If the procedure was done improperly and the surgeon made the skin too thin, then it will never resolve without intervention such as a fat graft/transfer to the area

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I'm not sure when you had your procedure. To help decrease scar tissue and improve final results, I recommend adding cellutone/z wave to remove scar tissue and improve the skin’s appearance, vanquish for further fat removal, and exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening. For the first 3-6 months, I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease any swelling. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

It is important to have aggressive massage to prevent the scar tissue from building up and if it is starting to now, then either resume massage or have the massage more often.  Also discuss this with your surgeon.
