Can scar tissue post liposuction cause any damage to organs?

January 16, 2017
Asked By:perktt in Vancouver, BC

Hello, I had liposuction of the abdomen and flanks 8 months ago. Mostly it feels like it is healing well, but i have a lot of scar tissue up my left side that becomes stiff and not quite painful but annoying, and affects my mobility. I worry that it is squishing my organs and could potentially, if not already, cause a problem. Should i be worried, and is there anyway that i can treat this?
