Can you remove fibrosis years after having liposuction?

June 29, 2019
Asked By:nckl125 in Los Angeles, CA

I had lipo on my inner thighs about 5 yrs ago, and I still have large patches of hard scar tissue under my skin. I've always been a dance and yoga enthusiast, however stretching has become very painful in that area, and my range of motion is less than half of what it used to be. I also have a little bit of rippling and lumps in those areas as well, but my main concern is the pain. Is it possible to remove the fibrosis this many years after having the procedure? If so, what are my options?
