Asked By:8661anon in Tucson, Arizona

My surgeon says the dips and lumps are “normal”. I Had liposuctionon my waist, upper and lower abdomen along with bra fat back area My umblicous area seems protruding and feels harder than any other area. I’m afraid I have devoloped fibrosis. I have been looking at possible treatments to reduce the lumpiness after lipo. Corticosteroids injections is one that keeps popping up. What’s the mechanism of steroid injection and is it even a treatment for lipo fibrosis?
