They are like thick bands around and above my ankles and formed approx. 8 weeks post op. I am now 14 weeks post op and my ankles look thicker than what I originally had and getting worse every week. I have been getting Active Release Therapy massage for fascial adhesions but not seeing any improvement. The area is still painful/sore to touch. What are the best ways to break down this scar tissue? Is there any chance of this being permanent?

Thank you for asking about your calf liposuction.The pain varies from aching to severe muscle spasm.The muscle spasm improves if you stand up and get your feet flat on the ground - this stretches the muscle.The real issue after calf liposuction is swelling -Be sure you have good compression hose...
Shower with compression garment. No you may not shower with your compression garment on. However before taking off I would check with your plastic surgeon. Showering instructions are usually included in your postop instructions.
