Hello. I had liposuction done March 2017 and had a little fibrosis growing. In the time I was getting small treatments I wasn’t able to schedule every week due to school and work. I am now pregnant and the fibrosis is hardening. Is there anything I can do to help Rid of it while Pregnant ? Will the fibrosis show as my stomach gets bigger ? It hurts a little now will it hurt when my stomach starts to stretch ?

The usual reason behind a 'puffy nipple' is male breast tissue, which is referred to as gynecomastia. This glandular tissue does not respond well to liposuction and you may require an open excision to remove the gland. I would advice seeing a Plastic Surgeon to discuss.

Liposuction under tum. local would make a big improvement in your tummy , pubic area and flanks and is easy to undergo. Avoid the big tummy tuck scar as long as you can.
