Is there any doctor that is able to fix this? I have fibrosis and uneven lipo all over my abdomen and I really don't know where to even start looking to fix this. I'm 5'1 120 lbs, I got a skinny BBL and at first everything was perfect but as the swelling went down, the fibrosis stayed. I did everything I was asked to do post op. I know this isn't fixable and I feel so hopeless, can this be improved at all?
Answer: BBL results Dear Anika3555, 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.

Answer: Can fibrosis after my skinny BBL improve? Hi. I’m sorry your results aren’t ideal. This is very hard to treat. Maybe your liposuction was a little bit too aggressive or maybe it was done a little bit too superficial. It si es like the cánula was too close to the skin in some areas. Superficial lipo increases scar tissue and cánula marks. This plus uneven lipo may have been the culprit. In any case there are several thing that may help improve your fibrosis. Maybe fat grafting in the areas were there are deep indentation and then liposuction on the areas that are lumpy. Sometimes a mini tummy can help stretch the skin and this in turn improves the unevenness. Conclusion: This problem has may be done to several different issues so an approach that takes all of these issues into account is best. Best of luck, Dr. Miguel Mota

Dear Anika3555 Sorry to hear your experience after liposuction procedure, fibrosis is one of the consequences after this type of procedure and unfortunately there is non procedure that can help to get rid of that but sometimes another no aggressive liposuction procedure can helps to remove some of it, please talk with your previews doctor about it and get the best recommendation for you in a physical evaluation.

Answer: BBL Hi, thank you for sharing your question. It is possible to fix this but a formal in person evaluation may be required to get an assessment of the skin laxity and remaining skin thickness.

Answer: Contour irregularities post liposuction This type of contour irregularities are common after aggressive liposuction or some patients with either lumpy fat, several children or weight loss (some also have thin skin which allows it to show more easily). While a fix is very difficult, the best option seems to have a conservative liposuction prefromed along with feathering (liposuction without the suction on to break up the fatty lumps and re-distribute them). Best wishes, Dr. Taranow
