Can QWO be used off label for post liposuction fibrosis deformity?

QWO is a Collagenase injection FDA approved for the treatment of Cellulite. It can be used for off label uses. I am not aware of any reports of Qwo use for the treatment of liposuction fibrosis deformity. However, it is conceivable that Qwo may be helpful in the treatment of liposuction fibrosis. I would recommend that you and your physician thoroughly discuss the possible risk and benefits and alternatives to the treatment. Wishing you the best of health, Dr Wright.

Qwo is currently FDA approved to address moderate to severe cellulite of the buttocks. There are clinical trials underway for other potential treatment areas, but at this time it is designated for the buttocks only.

Thanks for your question! QWO is the very first FDA approved injectable for cellulite reduction. The QWO enzymes work by disrupting the fibrous bands that are responsible for creating the cellulite dimple. QWO has not been studied to treat post liposuction fibrosis deformity or scars. I would suggest scheduling a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss alternative options.
