I am prone to fibrosis after effects in my under chin area from lipo. Does wearing a facial head band wrap help to avoid this happening again like my prior lipo? Or needed for trying to avoid fibrosis? I'm tired of having to do CO2 core laser sessions under my chin after surgery to dissolve the fibrosis - that's the only thing that breaks the fibrosis down for me. 2) What's your opinion on some type of hand held suction device for lipo under the chin?
Answer: Post Lipo - Lymphatic Massage, Hyperbaric Oxygen, RF (Venus Legacy, Exilis, Vanquish, InMode Forma), Cellutone/Z Wave/Evive massage, RF like forma or legacy, compression, and botox all help to reduce risk after liposuction on the neck/jawline. If you are unhappy with your results please speak to your physician and ensure he was a full body VASER HD liposuction physciain wtih expensive experience in body shaping and not just traditional fat reduction. At this point you should be using compression, RF treatments like venus legacy / exilis ultra / inmode forma or contoura and lymphatic massage to get you through healing. We always add shock wave therapy such as cellutone, z wave, and eclipse evive to help prvent scar tissue formation and ensure an even and smooth result. It will take 6-12 months to see the final outcome. If you are unhappy you can get a revision procedure by an expert in VASER HD lipo. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Vaser lipo of the chin and neck area You have to be aware that previous liposuction (and cryolipolysis) treatment of the area will cause fibrosis and make further treatment difficult if not impossible. Vaser liposuction is a technique essentially to remove fat and the trauma to the subdermal layer will give a degree of skin tightening. The more fat is removed the more dramatic the change in appearance Wearing a band around the head: We advise out patients to wear it for three days, day and night followed by 10 nights. It helps to prevent haematoma and initiates the skin to redrape onto the platysma.

Answer: Head wrap for fibrosis Head wrap is used to ensure that the lifted skin reattaches to the neck. Fibrosis can be countered using Accolate medication and topical Radiofrequency treatments perfomred at 2, 4, and 6 weeks.

Answer: Complex situation I think your situation is complex and no one is going to give you a good answer based on limited information.It sounds like you’ve already had liposuction of your chin that wasn’t done correctly.The term fibrosis is often used for patients who have been over treated often with the use of VASER. The problem is usually not scar tissue but rather that too much fat was removed and it was done so in an uneven fashion.Add a minimum you need to show pictures and give a full history including previous procedures With timelines.I suggest you discuss your concerns with your provider.To answer your question. Most providers are going to recommend some type of compression device after Liposuction. Whether these serve any purpose or not it’s a matter of discussion. I personally do not place much importance on pressure garments and do not believe they contribute to final results. The same goes for massage. If Liposuction is done correctly results will follow consistently and predictably. when Liposuction is done incorrectly results will be bad and there is no nonsurgical treatment that will alleviate the primary problem.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
