Fibrosis is a common issue that can occur after liposuction, which can cause hard lumps, bumps, and scarring in the treated areas. Fortunately, there are several ways to address and prevent fibrosis after liposuction. Here are some possible options: Manual lymphatic drainage: This is a massage technique that helps to reduce swelling, bruising, and fibrosis after liposuction by promoting healthy lymphatic flow and circulation. Daily drainage is recommended to relieve pain, drain excess fluid, and speed up recovery. Aftercare professional massage treatments: Professional massage treatments, or self-treatment, are essential after all types of liposuction surgery to help prevent fibrosis from settling in. It is especially important to get post-liposuction lymphatic drainage massages, wear adequate compression, and practice at-home self-care. Avoid smoking: Smoking can contribute to the formation of fibrous areas and can hinder wound healing and scar formation after liposuction. Therefore, it is recommended to quit smoking before and after the procedure. Healthy lifestyle: Being in optimal health before the liposuction procedure can help to prevent fibrosis. Eating a healthy balanced diet, not smoking, and getting plenty of physical exercises can promote healthy blood flow and reduce the risks of fibrosis. Scar revision procedures: For those who already have fibrosis after liposuction, there are treatments available to help improve the appearance of the skin. Some possible options include steroid injections, radiofrequency treatments, subcision, and scar tissue removal, which can be considered by a body contouring expert surgeon like Dr. Cameron Rokhsar. Kinesio tape: Kinesio tape is an inexpensive way to both prevent and help treat fibrosis folds, dents, and bumps after liposuction. It is recommended to have it done professionally at least once to see how it’s properly done for your situation, then buy the tape online and repeat it daily. Compression garments: It is critical to wear compression garments correctly and ensure that they fit perfectly to minimize swelling and prevent considerable fluid accumulation in the treated areas. Many patients find that lymphatic massage after liposuction can also help to reduce bruising and soften scar tissue.
