How to get rid of fibrosis tissue after liposuction?

Question

I am now almost 7 months post op following aggressive lipo and bbl in DR. Despite following all the instructions and still havig regular massage, my abdomen is still firm and lumpy. I am desperate to get rid of this even if I need to pay more. What is the most effective method?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I agree with below.  steroid injections +/- 5FU along with radiofrequency (velashape or venus legacy) treatments can really help.  Sometimes an additional procedure to subcision or break apart the scars is needed and should be considered but only by going to a body contouring expert who treats a lot of revision cases.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question.  Typically I would recommend a few treatments of VelaShape and or to go back in and use a laser or a specific type of cannula to help break up the scar tissue.  I would recommend a follow up with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to evaluate you and see what your options are.  Best of luck to you.

We use a Hidef liposuction revision protocol that includes fibrous release, fat grafting, PRP SC, and lipocavitation to help reduce scarring from botched liposuction. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian#Realself100 Surgeon

At seven months there still may be some residual swelling after aggressive liposuction. Did you have liposuction assisted by a laser or ultrasound? This can create thermal damage that may be permanent.
