Hello All! I had a BBL done in February 2019 and I’ve had stomach imperfections since. I don’t know if it’s fibrosis or if this look is due to aggressive, uneven fat removal. I did it all, wore my compression garment, lymphatic massage, Venus legacy treatments, arnica tea, etc. and I still have this look. I went to one lipo specialist and he said I need to go back for lipo to achieve even look, but my original BBL place said it’s fibrosis. What do I do?? I hate my stomach like this :(

Answer: Fibrosis? I’m guessing your procedure was done using a VASER? It looks like you were over treated with an energy device and at the same time your abdomen was treated unevenly. This is left you with very little body fat that is uneven together with excessive amounts of scar tissue because of the aggressive nature of the treatment. Some people call dad fibrosis. I call it bad technique or an undesirable outcome Because of poorly done Liposuction. People have been over treated with almost all fat removed or in a difficult position. It’s not really possible to correct this outcome. Generally treatment options are revision Liposuction, fat transfer or converting to a skin tightening removal like a full tummy tuck. Neither one of these are good options for you. There simply is no good treatment options for someone who was so aggressively over treated. I suggest patients wake up and start realizing how many people are being disfigured from the use of the VASER. I suppose there’s inherently nothing wrong with the device but it is in the end the user or surgeon who causes the problem. I simply don’t see this type of problem unless that device was used. Perhaps you could re-post and let us know what device was used. I wish I could have a more optimistic view or realistic treatment options for you. Be very careful for those who claim to somehow be able to fix this easily or that going in with a VASER and “breaking up the scar tissue“ is somehow going to make this better. Unfortunately any future surgical procedure will cause more scar tissue to some degree. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
