Can I get rid of lipo fibrosis with CoolSculpting/truSculpt? (Photo)

Fibrosis is a common result of healing scar tissues post-liposuction. Addition of laser and radiofrequency energy therapies is common with liposuction procedures but it does not necessarily prevent fibrosis from happening. CoolSculpt may help with any residual pockets of fat to even and contour the abdomen, but it is specifically designed for fat loss. I recommend seeking an in-person consultation with a board-certified plastics surgeon with proven experience with body contouring treatments. Best, Dr. Anil Shah

Coolsculpting is designed to target fat cells and fat pockets. We have treated many patients who have had some leftover lumps post liposuction with the Coolsculpting machine and have been able to decrease them and in most cases completely eliminate them. As long as it is pinch-able fat and fits into the Coolsculpting applicator, we would be able to properly target those pockets.  

Coolsculpting is designed specifically to target fat cells and not interfere with other kinds of tissues. If there are still fat deposits underneath the skin in that area that are contributing to the unevenness, you may see an improvement with coolsculpting. Another option might be to "equalize" the fat with a secondary liposuction, moving it around to spread it more evenly instead of continuing to suck it out. It would be beneficial to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss this and to explore other options for improving the skin texture and contour.
