Question

About a Month Ago I Had the Laser Liposuction Done. I'm still receiving massages and ultrasound, but i have fibrosis on both of my sides, and very hard in my abdomen.. how can i get rid of these horrible marks?

This is common and we treat all of our patients with Vshape and Smoothshapes for this. This will help to smooth out the areas until they resolve. We rarely have patients go beyond 6 weeks with the fibrotic tissue.

Smart Lipo can induce thermal injury and the body can manifest a response by producing too much collagen. This can create scarring underneath the skin. Massage, corticosteroid injections (which have risk), warm compresses, endermologie, external ultrasound, and possibly Velashape may help.

At 5 weeks you are still a bit early in the recovery process. You have to give it more time to heal and soften. If concerned then see your surgeon.

Barry E. DiBernardo, MD · Answer

From the photo you show, the back rolls and upper abdomen by nature have more fibrous tissue and that is why an energy source such as laser or ultrasound can help get more thorough fat remoal from these areas. Having siad that, this energy often applied to the fat and skin layers for tightening can produce more swelling or edema.

	sometimes it can be firm. In this instance, you would need to do post operative treaments and or massaging to open veins and lymphatics for drainage. This problem should slowly resolve, but at one month after, can still be wuite visible.

What you describe is very uncommon with Smart Lipo. Is that what you had done and who did it??? You can come see me in my office in MIAMI Regards Dr. Blinski
