Dear doctor. I had a regular Lipo on my lower abdomen back in 2003. Then about 3 years ago my upper abdomen had created a layer of fat (due to weigh gain) as there was no lipo done. I did this laser lipo treatment called body tite 2015 for my upper abdomen to try to fix the fat layer. After a year I noticed this bumb / scar tissue in the treated area. It looks ugly and really bothers me. Please help. Is there anything that could help to fix this???
