What's your opinions on Morpheus8 to treat fibrosis following HD lipo? (Photos)

Question

I got HD lipo april 2024 (16 weeks post op) with abdominal high definition. At week 5, I developed fibrosis cords in my abdomen (1 in each side abdominal marcation and the middle line) and a small nodule of fibrosis in my lower abdomen. These cords are very thick to the touch and are visible when i lift my arms. I have had over 35+ fibrosis massages and wore my faja properly for 3 months. I had pb enzymes shots, morpheus- no improvement. Dr says 3 more morpheus sessions for fibrosis. Opinions?

It's understandable that you're seeking a solution for the fibrosis you're dealing with after your HD lipo procedure, especially since it seems you've already undergone various treatments with limited results.
Morpheus8 is a microneedling treatment with radiofrequency energy that can be effective for addressing skin texture and tightening, as well as improving the appearance of fibrosis in some cases. The radiofrequency energy can help stimulate collagen production and potentially break down fibrous tissue, making it a useful option in treating post-liposuction fibrosis.
That being said, results can vary from person to person, and it’s not uncommon for fibrosis to take time to resolve, even with treatments like Morpheus8. The fact that you've had over 35 fibrosis massages, PB enzyme shots, and a session of Morpheus8 with limited improvement suggests that additional treatments may be needed, but also that it's important to manage expectations. 
Three additional Morpheus sessions, as recommended by your doctor, may provide some improvement, but it’s crucial to be patient as fibrosis can take several months or longer to improve fully. Your skin and tissue might respond differently with each session, and sometimes combining different therapies&mdash;such as deep tissue massage, enzymes, or even laser treatments&mdash;might accelerate the healing process.
It's also possible that the fibrosis could resolve on its own over time, as the body continues to heal from liposuction. In some cases, more aggressive treatments or even surgical intervention may be needed if the fibrosis remains resistant to non-invasive methods.
In summary, Morpheus8 is a reasonable approach, but it may require multiple sessions, and results can vary. I would recommend following your doctor's advice and keeping an open line of communication to track your progress. If you continue to see no improvement, consider discussing other potential treatments or getting a second opinion from a specialist experienced in post-liposuction care.
I hope this helps!
