Hello @Madeindr31 thank you for your question and showing your picture. Is important that you choose a board certified specialist that can help minimize the fibrosis. The surgical procedure of liposuction, may or may not be associated with technology. Many times the characteristics of these lumps under the skin or retractions are secondary to a conventional fat extraction technique. We handle fat from the use of laser technology, which is light, or vaser, which is internal ultrasound associated with microair (PAL- Power ssisted liposuction) the first two devices allow us to vase or Laser produce lipolysis (is to pass the fat of a solid state to a liquid state so that there are no irregularities under the skin) and the microaire or the PAL allows us to make the extraction of the melted liquid without so much trauma.It is important to be able to evaluate the case a little more to determine if only with a new lipolysis from the combination of technology can be improved. If it is only a lipolysis of the body contour, we will be able to improve the appearance by 50% towards 70% of the result you currently have; because fibrosis behaves as a scar inside the tissue and it is very difficult to be able to remove it completely. Best wishes!

Unfortunately, you developed atypical scarring and fibrosis as a result of liposuction. One of the ways to improve this condition would be liposuction without aspiration and fat removal. This procedure would brake most of the lumps and leave released fat to float and distribute like a fat grafts. For this you need to find really experienced board certified plastic surgeon with excellent reputation in secondary liposuction. Good luck.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

this is just bad work and the only thing to fix this is fat grafting and/or renuva injections. you need to soften the area with RF treatments and shock therapy.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear Madeindr31,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

You present a very very difficult fibrosis/skeltinization abdominal issue. I have used S.A.F.E. lipo techniques with a drain and specialized taping along with 30 days of lymphatic massages. I have seen so nice results but never a guarantee can be given,. Fee $12,000.
