What can I do to fix this situation (fibrosis) after BBL on 5/26/20? (Photos)

Dear Tay,
A sonogram (inexpensive non-invasive) test would show if the lump is a fluid collection. An MRI would be more diagnostic, but expensive is not picked up by your insurance. The treatment of this lump would depend if it is scar tissue or a seroma (fluid filled pocket).
Dr. Taranow

It’s hard to make an assessment in regards to what the underlying problem or treatment options are for you.

Ultimately your surgeon is responsible for your outcome and you are responsible for choosing that surgeon.

I generally recommend patients avoid travel for elective surgical procedures because of the importance of access to your provider for postoperative care including complications and revision work.

If your previous provider it’s not taking care of you then consider finding a new provider and doing so by staying local and having multiple in person consultations.

Typically revision work is more difficult than primary work.

Chronic seroma‘s typically require direct surgical excision with a placement of a drain. Seroma‘s should be treated immediately when diagnosed aggressively through daily aspiration or at least frequent aspirations until they no longer accumulate. If left untreated they become encapsulated and can no longer be treated by draining them and require surgical excision.

Fibrosis is not a condition that happens to some people. It is a normal response to overzealous and uneven Liposuction.

Best,
