Fibrosis on stomach post liposuction Aug 23. How can I treat this? (Photo)

Question

Hi experts, I am based in Melbourne Australia and had liposuction internationally I am happy with the result however I have some fibrosis forming which I can remove with massage but only temporarily. I am looking for a doctor/surgeon in Melbourne who is experienced with injecting hyaluronidase enzymes. I have done compression, 30 plus massages and it still appears to be coming back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello; unfortunately, this is the result of a bad Liposuction treatment. Since, homogeneous fat cannot be obtained; the abdomen is sunken in places; there are protruding areas in some places as well. Due to both excessive Liposuction and corset usage; there is a development in fibrosis. In this case, what should do is; a massage in the first 1-2 months. If stiffness still continues, despite for the massage; continuing for the massage does not help. In this type of fibrosis, the use of Hyaluronidase other than thinning the normal tissue; is useless. At the end of one year, I recommend for you that; you have Vaser process, which is performed by an experienced surgeon.

Fibrosis is not a condition that some people develop. It is the result of overly zealous Liposuction removing too much fat during the procedure.
The more aggressive the procedure is the more scar tissue is going to form.
The formation of scar tissue is not a problem if a normal layer of fat is left behind.
With the excessive removal of fat and excessive form of scar tissue firmness develops, and this is not treatable.
Further surgical intervention is going to create more inflammation and more scar tissue.
The importance of provider selection for Liposuction cannot be overstated.
Liposuction results should be considered permanent and irreversible.
Attempts at correcting this with fat transfer are challenging and very difficult.
There is really no surgery to correct your outcome.
Best,
