Are adhesions inevitable after liposuction?

9875anonJan 9, 2026

My doctor is recommending a neck lift procedure that he will finish off by using the lipo tool to rough up the underside of the skin. This is to create scarring in order to tighten the skin. My concern Is that it will create unnatural looking adhesions between the tissues. Is it better to use an energy device to tighten the skin or am i worrying unnecessarily?

In my opinion, flanks-only liposuction is a good, natural option if your skin is smooth and your goal is subtle curves with less downtime. For the most balanced result, VASER Lipo 360 is ideal. Whenever you’re ready: Let’s make it better. Warmly, Dr. Luis Mejía, MD Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon
