Hello, I had liposuction done a while back and developed what looks like fibrosis, however I have been told in the past that it may not be. I have consulted a doctor in order to see how it can be fixed. They suggested going through liposuction again along with jplasma, I'm wondering if this is a reasonable route to take in order to fix my abdomen, and wanted second opinions on the matter. Thank you all for your time

Answer: Adding J plasma to the mix I answered your question previously thought that time he did not inquire about J plasma. I purchased the Renuvion or “J-plasma” device when it first came out. I used it for about a year then sold it because I saw zero improvements and my patients were having more discomfort during and after the procedure from being cooked on the inside. Energy devices such as J plasma or VASER are more likely to make things worse than they are to correct the previously unevenly performed Liposuction. Again, there’s nothing inherently wrong with VASER if used correctly but all too many times I see this single device causing more disfigurement than any other type of Liposuction. It’s simply in the case where someone has been over treated you don’t need a powerful energy-based device. Adding destructive or energy devices will create more scar tissue. Revision Liposuction is probably your best option though it will not restore you to a normal Abdomen. Some improvements can be had. The second option is adding fat transfer though this to isn’t great in these type of situations. These are difficult cases and often some slight improvement is the best that can be offered. I’m sorry did you find yourself in the situation. You should be fairly reluctant to have a second procedure about without trying you’ll never know what can be accomplished. It is important for patients to follow up with the original provider so that they can learn from their mistakes and make some adjustments and not continue this figuring others. Hope you find a solution that is better than what I describe. Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD
